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.

Dr. Qureshi saved our mother's life several years ago with emergency surgery after an intestinal twist threatened her life. At 94, it was clearly very risky surgery- Dr. Qureshi showed extraordinary empathy explaining how dangerous the situation was. Our mother held her hand and just said, "Just do your best." And she did! At 96, our mother is still going strong. Thank you Dr. Qureshi!

Dr. Qureshi operated on my umbilical hernia this past November to great success. My pre-visit with her was informative, calming, and she was attentive to my anxieties and concerns. She made sure to check in with me pre- and post-op, as well as with a phone call a few weeks later, and I had a follow-up with my primary care doctor who looked at the surgical site and highly approved her work, as did I. She is very skilled and pleasant to work with. My recovery was straightforward, with excellent instruction. As long as you follow all of the instructions, you will be just fine.

Dr. Qureshi saved my husband's life during an emergency appendectomy which triggered sepsis. Besides being an amazing surgeon she has a great bedside manner, even taking the time and effort to follow-up with a phone call the next day after he was discharged to make sure our questions were answered and post-op instructions were clear. As a caregiver and family I could not fully express in words my gratitude. All I can say is that she is an excellent surgeon and treats patients with compassion.
