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.

Finally, a doctor that takes the time to listen to
Dr. Houri, did not rush me like so many do. I think it’s very rare for a physician to respect my time when he apologized for being 5 or 6 minutes late in seeing me. He’s obviously a superb diagnostician. Most important, I have faith in his ability to find the sources of my discomfort.

Great! Wonderful doctor! Is caring and I haven’t had a doctor in a long time that really listens to what u have to say. He puts a lot of time into figuring out an accurate diagnosis. I highly recommend Dr. Houri to anyone looking for a rheumatologist.

I was referred to Dr. Houri after my Rheumatologist retired. I feel I could not have been treated better and thank you Dr. Gustafson for referring me. Dr. Houri is soft spoken, ask a lot of questions and even called me at home when I called back after my first appointment with questions.

Dr Houri is a very caring doctor. He tries his best to help at all times. He has been my dr for more than 12 years. The staff are polite. My only issue is the billing department doesn't get it right all of the time with my insurance. Otherwise, it's a well managed team.

My first visit with Dr Houri was not a warm and fuzzy feeling. Very little eye contact, not much of an exam, very little conversation concerning my health or anything else. I met one of the PAs and that is who I have been seeing. She is very thorough and seems to care about my health and my health needs. I certainly was not looking for a doctor with an outstanding personality but one who made me feel my health needs where his top priority. 2 stars for Dr Houri. 5 Stars for the PA.

I recommend Dr Houri to everyone I know. He honestly is the best doctor I have ever had (and I have had quite a few!). He takes the time to listen, explains everything in a way that is catered to the patient, and is extremely knowledgeable.

A very unique, and thorough doctor indeed! Unlike most of the doctors out there it seems these days, Dr. Houri is kind, compassionate, and explains things to a T. He takes the time to sit down and go through test results and concerns one by one. He encourages to asks questions, and has never been annoyed or bothered by questions and concerns. He truly is one of a kind and I would highly recommend him to ANYONE! Simply just an AMAZING, intelligent doctor!

My experience was not good at all, I went with a very bad pain in my lower back and in my arm, told dr I was taking pills myself for that horrible pain. Dr sent me to my house with vitamins after 2 weeks I received an order for blood lab test and not xray for my back or my arm. Sent an email letting him know I am still in pain, never received an immediate answer, after 2 weeks I received a mail stating that everything looks normal. The staff never answers the phone everything go to voicemail.

This doctor is by far the kindest most caring doctor that I have met with. Dr. Houri explains all conditions in a way that everyone can understand. He takes patients comfort into consideration when discussing treatment options. I am very pleased with the office workers and the nurses. They are caring and compassionate. I only wish all of my doctors were like Dr Houri.

What a rare find in a doctor! This doctor listens and follows up after visit. Office staff is superior to the staff at any fine hotel. Manager is right across the hall from desk where appointment is made and she is ready to jump in and offer extra help to staff when needed. At my visit the girl was new and couldn't find an information packet on my condition (polymyalgia). The manager overheard and right away printed me up the information and came over and gave it to me. I am very pleased.
