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.

Very Professional and Attentive Physician

Doctor is okay, office staff not.
Doctor is okay. I have been his patient for 4 or 5 years, but he has never impressed me (but there wasn't much opportunity for him to). His 'bed-side' manner is only fair. His office staff is not superb. Had a REMARKABLY unpleasant experience where the front desk person found it reasonable to say she 'didn't do it'. I hate that line from the person I am forced to speak to - they represent the office in this case and saying something wasn't their fault is ludicrous. Their 'office manager' (as she described herself, but 2 minutes after I left the office the person answering the phone said the office manager wasn't in, so who knows which person was either lying or incorrec?) told me there was no need to yell, but clearly does not know what YELLING is. Just blaming the patient as seems their general tactic.

I started seeing Dr. Maksoud because I wasn’t happy with my previous Dr. I’m glad I made the switch. Dr. Maksoud. He has been top notch and is very personable. Highly recommend.

I CONSIDER DR MAKSOUD TO BE AN EXTRENELY GOOD DOCTOR. HE ANSWERED ALL OF MY QUESTIONS, AND EXPLAINING EVERYTHING VERY WELL. WAIT TIME TO SEE HIM IS MUCH BETTER THAN MOST OTHER DOCTORS. STAFF IS VERY KIND AND HELPFUL. I WOULD STRONGLY RECOMMEND THIS DOCTOR.

Dr. Maksoud is a true professional. He took the time to review my scan results and found that my health issue was not related to my lungs, but my heart valves

You can tell how good doctor Dr Maksoud is when he takes care of your Asthma so well that you hardly need to see him again. Dr Alfred Maksoud started treating me for my Asthma in 2004, and within few visits I felt so much better that I no longer suffer from any Asthma attacks. And I only have to consult him occasionally when I come down with a severe cold and start wheezing. My quality of life improved so much, i was able to pick up jogging and get back to the gym.

New patient, out of state. Met doctor, agreed on next steps for me. The office messed up with the insurance, sent wrong/unnecessary information resulting in denial of coverage. Talked to the insurance. They understood and recommended an appeal with a call from the doctor. Office was not supportive. The doctor called me to let me have it. Never stopped to ask my side. Told me he doesn’t help with appeals. Never apologized for the cause of the issue. Called it ‘miscommunication’. Bad experience.

CPJ in TX – Aug 30, 2018

I went to Dr. Maksoud for many years because he was recommended by my PCP. I found him to be a very good doctor who treated my medical problems well until I had knee surgery and was diagnosed with multiple pulmonary embolisms and placed in ICU. His manners at that time were bad; he yelled at me and was very rude in talking with me and treated me as if I was ignorant and did not want to listen to what medication my surgeon had started me on. He didn't even know who I was and why he treated me.

Staff were very helpful and friendly. Dr Maksoud is very approachable, treated me with respect and ensured that all my requests were fulfilled before leaving his office. He took the time to look at the records I had brought in and showed me the results from previous imaging himself.

I have never had doctor and his nurse treat me with disrepect as much as they did. The way he talked down to me, he was very condescending and he made me feel like I was wasting his time while he was telling me the results of the tests he wanted me to have done, I never felt so down on myself as I did when I left his office that day. They need to work on their manners when someone goes to their office seeking help and relief for their symptoms. Have some professional courtesy please.
