Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Excellent Doctor
In addition to being an exceptional physician Dr. Saab is a very good communicator.

thanks to Dr. Saab, this will be my wife's eighth anniversary of her liver transplant. He is an excellent clinician and does not stop until he has all the answers ready. He is a most caring physician, and really does combine the best of humanity with the best of technology.

I brought my mom to UCLA from Hawaii because she was waiting forever for a liver transplant. Dr. Saab and his staff were all very kind and professional with us. As we waited for a liver her health was getting worse and Dr. Saab upgraded her and she got a liver within a few days. Mom was under medicare but she was treated with great respect and dignity. Mom got 11 more years and a very grateful family. I cannot say enough about everyone in the liver center at UCLA. Mahalo (Thank you)

I found Dr. Saab to be very personable and also very knowledgable. He keeps on top of the latest studies in his field. He was able to give me input on future therapies and tests. I found him to be very competent.
