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.

Dismissive and Argumentative
Dr. Habib was incredibly rude, dismissive and argumentative. When asking questions about abnormal blood work to rule out multiple myeloma and other blood disorders he didn’t explain or provide clarity. He stated, “why are you looking at me like that, why are you making that face?!” He walked out of the room before us without a word. I have never had a doctor speak to me or my Family like that and I have two very sick parents. I would give zero stars if that was an option. After this visit I will be moving my Father’s care to another oncologist who is competent, knowledgeable, capable and has empathy for their patients. This is a very stressful time and to get into an argument with a patient or their caregiver is deplorable. I urge anyone to look elsewhere and find better quality care. If a doctor cannot address or explain bloodwork, there is a serious underlying problem.

Hello! I must say that Dr Habib is a very knowledgeable and kind hemotolqgist. Iam going to see him for the fourth time for my test results Dr. Habib is extremely thorough and made me feel I 'm in good hands! I reacelntly went for a bone marrow biopsy and was nervous as hell! He and his staff told me it was like going to the dentist to have a tooth filled. No big deal! Hats off to his assistant nuese Rebecca! She made this a great experience!

I don't recommend him. My family doctor send me to see him. And when I came to the appointment, the only thing he told me I don't know why your doctor send you here. I can't help you with anything. That was very mean. Even if I was going to die the next day,he can say something nice to me. Or at least ask me to have some tests done.
