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.

3 hour long wait times is ridiculous

The BEST
I’ve been a patient of Dr. Fanous for almost 15 years. He is truly the most compassionate, knowledgeable & thorough doctor I know. With our very, very high risk pregnancy, he never missed a single thing. He cared for me & our baby just like he would his own family. There’s no one I could recommend more highly than Dr. Fanous.

Delivered both of my babies!
Dr. Fanous is great. I wish I could say the same for his constantly changing staff. His wife, as the office manager, is holding him back professionally. She should certainly find a job more suitable to her fiery personality, possibly as a back of house staff member, who never experiences patients, face to face. She is hateful, disrespectful, and teeters on the verge of Dishonest. I left the practice after receiving little to no help after a chemical pregnancy. They will help you 100%, as a pregnancy woman, but expect absolutely nothing from them postpartum. I pray, for your sake, that you have no issues after delivery or failed pregnancy. If you should, transfer immediately.

Wonderful Doctor, Disrespectful office staff
The doctor is kind, caring, and explicates things well; however, the office manager is crude, rude, and sociably unacceptable. This seems to be a common experience for others in reading the other reviews. Upon moving here from South Texas where I was with my doctor for 25 years, he came highly recommended, and unfortunately due to his staff I have left his care.

I have been seeing Fanous for the past 7 years. I love having him as a doctor. He listens to me, and answers whatever questions I may have. But, I do not like his staff that work in the office for him. I have tried calling for over a month trying to get the nurse to call me back. When I have a question for her, she makes me feel so stupid for even calling. Unfortunately, I will be changing Dr's because of this. I hate to lose him as a Dr, I just cannot deal with the rude staff any longer.

Just picked up my check of nearly $2,000 due to overcharges. I usually wouldn't mind if it's an honest mistake, but the fact that I found out myself is ridiculous. It's been 10 months since I gave birth. They said I will get my money back in December, maybe. I guess they got tired of me calling. They should've caught their own mistake & informed me. Makes me wonder, how many other patients are being overcharged without being notified? Be careful & check your insurance claims. I do not recomm
