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.

caring, compassionate and knowledgeable
I needed triple bypass surgery. I was fortunate in that I was referred to Dr. Kabbaz. He proved to be one of the more compassionate health care providers I could have imagined. Everything was explained in detail to me prior to surgery. He entertained all of my questions regardless of how simple or silly they may have been. Post surgery he came to see me twice a day rather than surrender me to a hospitalist. He treated my wife like she was made out of gold and went far above and beyond to relieve any concerns she had. Truly a gentleman of the highest order. If you have a need and I pray you don't, for a heart surgeon, I strongly recommend Dr. Walid Kabbaz.

My 87 year old father had a serious heart attack in February 2020 and tests reviewed that he had 6 blockages. Dr. Khabbaz did an amazing job with his triple by-pass procedure. We are so thankful for he, his nurse, the hospital, and staff who cared for him. Last week Dad cut down a very large tree that had trio of trunks. He planned and executed it with a chain saw and some assistance from his son - in- law. Without the heart surgery he may not be alive. Many thanks to Dr. Khabbaz.

He did my triple by-pass surgery. There were unexpected complications but Dr Khabbaz was very determined to find out why and did everything to correct them. He paid very close attention to me and my progress. The staff was very attentive and clearly had my best interests in mind. I am so grateful for their care and their obvious desire to provide the best services. I m now making steady improvements at home and I feel owe the doctor and his staff all of the responsibility for it.

Dr. Khabbaz was great at explaining our options for valve replacement. My surgery went great and he was very attentive during my stay in the hospital after the procedure.

I would recommend him to everyone. He is an amazing Dr. He did my triple heart bypass surgery. Now he is going to do my moms lung surgery in a few days. I feel less nervous, because my mom is in good hands.
