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.

Dissociative maladaptive staff and Doctor.......
The not dead but dying cockroach on the waiting room floor should have been the indication to make tracks, Nevertheless this office was in the Medicaid trash bin of providers to choose from, The office is filthy so if you are comfortable being examined by a woman in full niqab; who disavows having created a new patient profile for you after having established it with your lengthy intake and evaluation plus a phone call with my Medicaid Provider insisting to the point of perseverating that you change your card to her name and then prior to your first follow up visit, The Doctor picks up the phone to bellow that my insurance never pays and I will have to change it to another plan and pay cash for my prescriptions if I wanted to see her. ah No.. This Doctor clearly suffers borderline personality. Do not waste your time or dignity with this unstable person who in my opinion is not fit to render care. Pay careful attention to the negative reviews, I did not, so beware.

A great dr who has always been there for Patients
Even overcoming her own obstacles, she has always been there, always been helpful, and always been consistent. I have been a patient of hers for over 10 years and I appreciate everything she’s done for me.

I have been going to Dr. Begum for over 20 yrs. Love that she is an internal medicine and she will do her best to find out what is going on. She took care of my mom for 14yrs and she lived to 94 with major health issues. (Heart, copd, diabetic, and in wheelchair and on oxygen) Dr. Begum saved her life many times and mine just like when my pacemakers batteries ran out she was the one that called the pacemaker rep to her office and had me checked and sent me straight to the hospital not my heart Dr. I cant say enough good things about Dr Begum she really cares about her patients. I highly recommend Dr Begum she is truly professional and knows all the body and how it works to be able to treat her patients health issues. I Love Dr. Begum and Thank you for treating all of my family and keeping us healthy.?

I have never had someone try to bully me into putting my husband in hospice the way Dr. Begum did. She even tried to get around me by asking about other family members. She I not interested in even trying to help my husband. I have never dealt with such a rude,uncaring and callous behavior by a health care professional.

Dr. Begum is a very rude, uncaring and nasty attitude PCP. She is extremely unprofessional and does not listen to her patients. I have been hospitalized and faced severe health rise due to her thinking everyone is lying. I honestly don’t know how she can still practice medicine when she puts her patients lives at risk. She even prescribed medication that I am deathly allergic to. Please stay far away from this doctor.

I wish I could give her 0 stars! She is NOT very personable nor has she shown conern about my grandmothers' condition! My grandmother has had a Bilateral stroke that has left her without the movement of her lower extremities! Dr. Begum walked into her room rudely putting a stethoscope to her chest with little to no compassion about our concerns of a sharp pain she was having in her head! She said she needed to get up and walk and proceeded to rudely and unethically say other things in front of
