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.

Terrible experience
My appointment with Dr. Khalifeh was canceled when I arrived 5 minutes late. The nurse told me it is the doctor who requested to cancel my appointment at that time because she needs to leave. This makes me wondering what if I arrived on time, then I will have 5 minutes of her time?

Compassionate
I saw Dr Khalifeh for hemorrhoids which were troublesome and causing significant anxiety. She carried out the consultation in an extremely professional and sensitive manner. She took the time to explain the problem and provide reassurance. I would certainly go back to her in the future if I need to

Dr. Khalifeh should be cloned. This is a dedicated Doctor that provides Therapeutic Communication and simple Patient Teaching. You are not treated like "A Number but as a person seeking medical help". Something I have not seen in many doctors. Dr. Khalifeh is highly recommended.

It was excellent. She is a very capable and caring person and I profited from her expertise. An operation and recovery that usually entails some pain and discomfort had none of these adverse effects on me. I recommend her unequovically.

Dr. Khalifeh and her staff treated me with the utmost respect.. She and her staff reassured me, normalized conversation about difficult topics, took time to answer all my questions, and provided me with clear-cut next steps for my care. I trust the decisions she made for my care. I would rather not need care from a colorectal surgeon but since I do, I absolutely feel I am in good hands.
