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.

He Very Friendly & kind, as well as his staff would highly Recommend

Uterine cancer
After my diagnosis of uterine cancer, I researched the oncologists who accepted my insurance and made a list based on the education, years of experience, and good ol' intuition and chose Dr. Elbendary. I arrived for my appointment and the front desk ladies made me feel as comfortable as if I was at home. Dr. Elbendary didn't beat around the bush or sugar coat the facts and he wasn't insensitive either. His bedside manner was perfectly balanced and I am confident in his ability to save my life. He wasted no time in moving forward with my treatment plan. In fact, after scheduling my surgery, his office called the very next day and offered me a much earlier surgery date! His job is to help us beat cancer, not dry our tears. Give the man his due credit. If he was emotionally attached to every patient, we'd be receiving care from a distracted and heartbroken doctor. Is that what you want? I know I don't. I want my doctor to be able to leave work at work and rest peacefully at night

Dr. Elbendary has been treating me for ovarian cancer and it's complications since 2014. He is an excellent physician. He is knowledgeable regarding new medications and treatment procedures. He is genuinely concerned about your overall health and expresses this with every visit. I would highly recommend him and his staff if you unfortunately experience ovarian cancer.

This doctor is probably one of the most obnoxious doctors I’ve ever met. He has an attitude that his time is much too precious to talk with you about your cancer care. If you’re an employed cancer patient, he will not work with your job schedule. He’s rude on top of it. Find a doctor that cares about his cancer patients. This guy is in it strictly for the money and not the compassion for others.

My mother had cancer in her uterus and rather than perform a surgery to remove it, he berated her about her weight and was very rude. My mother went to another surgeon and after the surgery both of her ovaries were found to be cancerous. Her new doctor said if she had gone with Dr Elbendary the cancer would have killed her.
