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.

Worst place & service ever. This place is just a money making place with no patient care in mind. My son Never saw the doctor, only got to speak to nurse practitioner. I was told you get to see the doctor maybe every 6 months. Made appts for telemedicine they never called my son on 2 different occasions. They never followed up. I called multiple times & left messages, I never got a call back. They prescribed something on the first telemedicine appointment & then we were on able to reach them. Very scary since you cannot reach them & yet they are medicating a patient. Meds didn’t work & my son is still suffering from anxiety. Very disappointing.

This was a life changing experience for me. Dr. Wassef is an exceptional Doctor. He gives ample time to his patients, completely understands the case, and puts all science into practice. It was a life-changing experience for me and I owe all this happiness to Dr. Wassef. May you always continue transforming lives! You will always be in my prayers.

""Do not recommend this doctor strongly"" Worst place for people who expects a good treatment here and "worst staff ever I have seen in my entire life".first time when they gave me an appointment with Dr Tamer Wassef I drove 40 mins for this appointment and receptionist simply tells me that the doctor is not available for the day he works only Thursday,Friday & Saturday then I questioned why they gave me an appointment on Monday. She says recklessly that somebody did a mistake then I asked why

To begin with, this is an extremely rare, genuinely concerned humanitarian and compassionate doctor who goes well beyond the scope of her limitations as a medical professional to ensure that her patients are taken care of appropriately. She will take a vested interest in your needs and goals in life to ensure that the proper treatment modalities are utilized. Extremely empathy, patience, kindness, psychological insight, as well as productive humor are her strengths !
