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.

When they were moving me out from my CAT scan at 3 AM (emergency admission) the technician said "You're lucky, they've assigned you Dr. Zakhour." I replied "You say that to all the patients, don't you?" and the technician said "Yes, but in your case it's absolutely the truth. He's one of our best." That was a year ago. Today, my emergency surgery for what turned out to be colon cancer, is a thing of the past; the colonoscopy has been reversed and I'm cancer-clean and on the glide path to renewed health -- and so says the oncologist. Dr. Zakhour has been attentive to my needs, has an excellent sense of humor and a support staff that has set the bar for excellent performance quite high. Need a surgeon? That CAT scan tech was spot-on - Dr. Zakhour is the best.

He did my gall bladder surgery and found I had ruptured hernia which he repaired. He was excellent. I healed quickly with no complications.

The attention to detail from Dr. Zakhour is something that all others should emulate! I had diverticulitis and developed a Fistula which was not seen through a Colonoscopy or a Barium Enema. Even with the post reports from these procedures, Dr Zakhour explained in detail that when he would go in to perform the Sigmoid Colon Resection, he would first inspect the bladder to verify that there was no damage. The bladder and small intestine were damaged. He repaired them first. Superb Job!
