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.

Went to her once, got a different primary after
Cannot in good faith consider this doctor professional, she argued about specialists medical recommendations for a disease she doesn't specialize in. She was fast to administer idiotic opinions about topics that she isn't qualified to speak about in a doctor patient setting. As others mentioned her demeanor is often rude and that is completely true.

This doctor was seeing my 8 year old daughter who has leukemia and was complaining about a pain in her foot and Dr Saikali had informed me that she dealt my daughter was “ exaggerating”. Needless to say, my daughters foot got infected, and then she was in the ICU for a week and a half with sepsis. This doctor is a nightmare. Do not take your family to see her.

Thorough Dr. every visit she reviews consults, active problems, new concerns, vaccines, etc. she is a very careful listener with good instincts. I credit her with speedy diagnosis, referral and treatment of a pretty catastrophic condition.

I have gone to Dr. Saikali for a few years now, and I really like her. She is very nice, and when I have had a problem, she listened. and made recommendations. She is very warm, and friendly. I do like her very much, and I think if you treat her with respect , she will do the same. Someone in a review mentioned her hair looked like it hadn't been washed. I guess we all get days that we could appear that way, but she has always looked clean, and well dressed, everytime I ever saw the lady.

I wish I would have found this doctor a lot sooner. She is friendly and makes you feel at ease. She is encouraging and gives you a lot of support, but she will get on you when you are doing wrong. She wants the best for you and I absolutely love her.

I have always received an accurate diagnosis from her. Office time spent with her is typically short, but that's no different than any other doctor. You are expected to follow and take treatment plans seriously. There is a room with a lab tech on site. MA's are always friendly.

This so called "doctor" is the WORST that I have ever met with. She comes into the room looking like she has not washed her hair in weeks. She asked me how I was and I said not good. No response from her, she goes right into my blood work report and states, "it is not good" you are severely Diabetic. She goes off on all the things I have to do. I was visibly upset over the news, I tell her I rather die then follow her treatment plan, she says ok and session ends. Nasty & Uncaring!

Dr. Saikali shouldn't be consider DR. She will not listen to you, report on things that you present to her, and only cares about the bottom line of what she is going to get paid. She will spend 2 - 5 min's with you if your lucky, and is very heavy on sending you to a psychiatrist. I'm done trying with this DR and based on medical insurance it's hard to find a doctor. But it's time that I fire her and I hope that more will stand up and not take this under level of care.

Just visited this "so-called" doctor and honestly,I would've been better off going to an urgent care center rather than her. She seemed as if she didn't care about what I had to say,or what was going on with me. She just asked her little questions and went on about her business. I will NEVER go back to this establishment again.

This doctor was reluctant and lazy to answer my questions. Her nurse, Peggy, didnt know anything. After she called me for lab results, I asked her what cause this infection or what it means that this element is low and she didnt have answer for my question. They asked about my nationality and religion too.

I told her that I was having problems breathing and making noise in my throat. I was also having problems swallowing. She said that nothing was wrong and I was upset and depressed and should see a psychiatric doctor. I went to another GP and I have a goiter that is so large that it is cutting into my windpipe and thinning out my esophagus. She also didn't listen to the complaints about side effects of drugs she put me on.
