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 was told that the medication I received through injection was preapproved by my insurance when in fact it was not. After hours and days of appealing the rejection from my insurance company, the bill was sent to collection!

Dr. Alhaddad is very competent. However, trying to get a call through to his office is very frustrating. I get his paging service, a disconnected number and another number that results in nothing. Fix your system doctor.

I am unsure why Dr. Alhaddad is getting horrible reviews. Dr. Alhaddad has went above and beyond for me at every appointment and has always put my best interest first! He is a great doctor and an even better listener when it comes to what I need. I will keep recommending Dr. Alhaddad

I have never been more disappointed in a doctor in my entire life. Thank goodness I am an intelligent female who knows not all doctors aren't educated the same. Thank goodness I knew to be a self advocate and continue looking. I walked into an appointment with him with a very detailed list and timeline in which (BEFORE ANY TEST AT ALL) he told me I had fibromyalgia and gave me a pill and dismissed me. If you are not familiar with fibromyalgia it is an illness which you are diagnosed with after extensive medical testing and no answers can be found. He gave me a pill given with a large amount of side effects. I went to a second Rheumatologist who set me on a better path and tested me and found out I had POTS. The new Rheumatologist told me that this doctor was truly dismissive that I didn't even qualify for the guidelines. Dr. Alhaddad's diagnoses on paper always created issues with getting my neurologist to test me further and I had to move to a different neurologist.

He is a jerk. Had appointment on June 18, 2019. Did not do anything to examine me. Did not sit on exam table. Looked at my fingers while I was sitting in chair. Did not check any of my records which was sent from MetroHealth. Asked him about draining my knees and he stated let's see if the medicine works. I was just another number. Did not care about me or my condition at all. Do not recommend. No bedside manner or concern at all. Nurse that took my information in patient room was rude.
