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.

Dr. Lareef saved my life! I was diagnosed with Hyperparathyroidism in April 2024 which at that time had no idea what it was, but I learned about it really quick. June 2024 Dr. Lareef removed 2 adenomas from my parathyroid and gave me a restart on life. He has the best bed side manner, funny and he made me feel very comfortable and calm. He's very professional and he really cares about his patients, even gave me his personal cell phone number just in case I needed to consult him on any rising questions or concerns. I highly recommend him to anyone who needs a excellent surgeon!

Dr Lareef shared the scientific details of breast cancer with me but did not treat me as a science project. Dr Lareef treated me as a human. He genuinely cared and helped cure me from the horrific disease. Thanks Dr!

Amazing, caring and excellent oncologist
He is just a wonderful soul who wants to help all his patients through a cancer diagnosis. Excellent skills. His staff is wonderful including his right hand woman, Nurse Tiffany. This team can not be beat. I was scared after my diagnosis but he put me at ease and promised to take care of me. And he did! And he wears the best bow ties. What a kind, wonderful, powerful doctor/surgeon! He is the BEST. And so is his staff.

Excellent Provider
Dr. Lareef and Tiffany went above and beyond to make sure that we were comfortable and had a great experience. Much more than what we expected from a surgeon and team. Great work and thanks for taking the time to discuss all our questions pre- and post-op. Thank you!

Dr. Lareef's surgical skills are truly exceptional. He meticulously explained the procedure, ensuring I fully understood the risks and benefits. Throughout the entire process, he provided clear and concise information, making sure I felt informed and comfortable every step of the way. His bedside manner was unmatched to any other experience I have had prior. During surgery, I had some intricate procedural issues that came up and he took his time with painstaking precision to make sure it was done with excellence. I would highly recommend him to you or your family members needing his expertise.

Dr. Lareef is very kind and he cares about you as a person. Before my surgery he explained everything to me. When I went for my checkup he took the time to answer any question I had regarding the healing process. I have recommended a friend to go see him for her surgery that she needs. A great doctor!!!

Dr. Lareef is an excellent surgeon. I highly recommend him. In fact, when my daughter needed a surgeon, we didn’t have to think twice as to who she needed to see, we immediately knew it was Dr. Lareef. He is compassionate, knowledgeable and funny. He also has an amazing team who, like Dr. Lareef, go above and beyond to make you feel comfortable. When you walk into the office, it’s like walking into a family member’s home. It’s welcoming and the team always has a smile for you. If you are looking for a surgeon who is skilled, knowledgeable, available to help at any time, and has a patient-focus philosophy, look no further, call Dr Lareef’s office.

Doctor Mohamed Lareef is one of the best surgents I know. Crozer is very lucky to have him. He is very knowledgeable and skillful in his area of expertise and not to mention his bedside mannerism is outstanding. He made sure that I was well educated about my situation, surgery, and post surgery. He always reassured me that he would treat me as if I were family, and he stuck to his word. I am very grateful to have been referred to Dr. Lareef and his staff. I highly recommend him!

Dr. Lareef is without a doubt one of the best doctors our family has ever encountered. His dedication to his patients and wonderful (jovial) bedside manner are unparalleled to others in his specialty. His determination to please and to comfort his patients are unique. He made himself available to my mother; our family was able to reach him directly whenever necessary for questions and concerns regarding my mom's condition. As a surgeon his work is very meticulous but as a person he remains hum
