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.

Pain Management
Dr. Wahba and the anesthesiologist checked in with me prior to my procedure and post procedure via the Get Well Loop. The office and medical staff were friendly and very professional. My time there was less than two hours total.

Best Pain Management Dr.
The entire process from arrival to when I left was first class. But the after care…wow..I have never experienced this high level of after care. Dr Wahba and his team are really dedicated to patients as individuals…not just a number. I felt extremely well cared for.

From the very beginning you feel at ease. Dr Wahba explains everything to you in detail and all his staff at the surgery center is so nice and understanding. The atmosphere is positive and friendly. Dr. Wahba stays in touch with you before and after your surgeries to make sure you are well informed and prepared of the do's and don'ts before and after you surgeries. I highly recommend this Doctor.

Highly Recommend
I was a new patient with Dr Wahba. At my first visit, Dr Wahba reviewed my records and suggested I see a surgeon due to my condition. He was honest and told me he could not help me. He did schedule and did perform an epidural to try to relieve me from pain as I was going out of the country and would not be able to see the surgeon before I left. I am now currently under the care of a surgeon but the fact that Dr Wahba was wiling to help me shows how much he cares for his patients. I highly recommend Dr Wahba.
