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.

I met Dr Abbass when I had a suspect nodule on my lung. I was concerend about surgery due to previously diagnosed health issues. Dr. Abbass assured me that i was a candidate for the surgery. I had it done and greatly appreciate Dr. Abbass and his team for the compassion and care extended to me as a patient.

Run
Sitting in waiting room post op for 3 hrs, no compassion or understanding from rude staff. Was told multiple times I was next. I am in extreme pain and debating on just leaving. He had at least 6 patients scheduled for 11am. I’ve seen people come in after me and get seen and leave. I want to cry. But even that hurts too much. If I had the strength and breathe to truly speak my mind I’d probably be taken out of the office by security

Abhorrent bedside manner
While Dr. Abass may be highly educated, unless you want to be spoken to rudely and without compassion, RUN

We traveled 600 miles thinking that the Director of the Temple Lung Center could certainly help my wife's Trachobronchialmalacia. Dr Abbas said "I can fix this" He performed a procedure on my wife which was not as he described to us and when her condition deteriorated he never answered our calls and foisted her off to his assistants who told her to go see a local pulmonologist even knowing we had seen several and they were unable to help.

Mean staff and clueless Dr. If you have to change your testing schedule for any reason, be prepared to be screamed at and hung up on. I'm serious. As for Dr. Abbas, he seems to have a punctuality problem - I waited 45 mins. for my appt., the second time it was a TWO HOUR WAIT! And after multiple tests and appointments, he tells me that my previously diagnosed problem doesn't exist (really? After 3 other doctors say otherwise) and refers me to yet another specialist. Good Riddance.
