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.

I was very pleased by how caring and attentive Dr. Youssef was, as was my daughter who accomplished me. He was a good listener and provided answers in easy-to-understand layman's terms, answering all of our questions. I am pleased that my condition is in his care.

Dr Youssef needed to reschedule my appt. I had a tight schedule due to leaving the State. Dr Youssef accommodated my schedule by squeezing me in between two surgeries via video call. Greatly appreciated his flexibility.
