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. Almallah is professional & very knowledgeable. No doubt he is an expert in his field. I left the initial visit very comfortable & confident with my upcoming surgeries

I was unsure if to make a decision to get Lens Replacement. Wearing glasses most of my life became annoying. Dr Almallah made it easy for me to decide. Just had the procedure done was the best decision I could have made. Now I no longer wear glasses my vision is back to 20/20.

Omar Almallah, MD at Susskind & Almallah is the absolute worst. I would not recommend anyone to use him. He is one of the most arrogant people I have ever met. He may be a good doctor but the way he treats people is horrible. My husband has been seeing him for years for a severe glaucoma problem but after yesterday's experience we will never go back.

Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Almallah?
It was my first time with Dr Amallah as I have been going there for years and never had him. He was very personable and informative. My only negative was that all the doctors take my insurance but the facility that does the operative procedure doesn’t take my insurance. That was very disappointing now I have to go somewhere
else and I really don’t want to. Thank you. Highly recommend this office and all the doctors there.
