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.

A most pleasant and informative visit. The doctor is the Person that I would refer to my friends.

Dr Hallak is an exceptionally skillful and present physician. He listens, validates, and exudes empathy. He is extremely knowledgeable yet doesn't talk down to the patient. I felt so cared for and validated in my fear over my health.You better hang onto this dude.

I've been visiting Dr. Hallak For about a year now, and there's a reason I keep coming back to him for treatment. He is very compassionate towards me and has learned more about my illness through our visits. He is clearly a skilled surgeon and he's very efficient at excising my complex, abnormal lipomas. This past visit only took half an hour, whereas in the past I've had providers take much longer with a lot more issues. I also have fairly minimal scarring from previous procedures he has performed. I've also had numerous infections after visiting other providers, but that has not happened once since I began care with Dr. Hallak. The facility is very clean and I feel safe visiting.

Doctor Hallak is the greatest. He thinks and plans, researches and comes up with solutions. My wife for years had stomach problems we had been to every kind of doctor you can imagine. Doctor Hallak found the answer and performed surgery on my wife and found 8 constrictions in 14 inches of bowel. She is in good health now thanks to Dr. Hallak. when I say she suffered years it was 25 years. THANK YOU DOCTOR HALLAK FROM BOTH OF US.

He performed 2 outpatient procedures and was excellent. One breast and one cancer. I have an issue with anesthesia and he was able to accommodate the method best for me. Very nice bedside manner.
