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.

Smart and compassionate doctor
My elderly mother had a small stroke and was pretty anxious. Dr. Alemayehu spent a good amount of time explaining things to her and encouraging her while she was in the hospital. Follow up at the office was equally informative and compassionate. He had us both laughing and feeling optimistic.

Visited this office and Dr. Alemayehu for the first time on July 26, 2017. I was totally impressed with the professionalism and courtesy of both the staff and the doctor. The doctor took his time to explain my problem in a clear and concise manner and offer solutions. Thank you for your patience and understanding.

Dr. Alemayehu took his time and gave me an excellent medical advice for my problems. He is very professional and courteous. He didn't rush me out although there were other patients waiting for him. When my wife was seen by him a few years ago, I was with her and observed the same curtesy. That is why I went to see him as soon as i had some symptoms. I would highly recommend him to family members and friends.
