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. Ghattas is an impeccable doctor!
I started chemo for Oligodendroglioma, brain cancer, six months ago. During that time, Dr. Ghattas has been supportive, in depth when answering any and all questions, fought for a medication that my insurance did not want to cover, and checks on me often (especially when my body feels like it's falling apart due to the chemo). I could not ask for a better oncologist.

Love Dr. Ghattas
My mom was diagnosed with breast cancer recently. Dr. Ghattas took care of her. Made her feel comfortable and explained everything in details. He was very patient and repeated everything until we understood. He was available for all follow-up questions we had.

Great oncologist
Dr. Ghattas quickly came up with a treatment plan and explained everything to me so I knew what to expect and listened to all my concerns. Went above and beyond to get me started on my treatment right away although insurance didn’t want to cover initially. He also has great connections to other specialists. Highly recommend Dr. Ghattas.

Great Oncolgist!
I've had numerous oncologists over the past several years, but Dr. Ghattas is my favorite so far. I just met him for the first time my last visit, and he was very attentive and listened to everything I had to say. Not that my other oncologists haven't been listening. They have. However, you can tell that Dr. Ghattas is not only attentive, but is well versed in his occupation.

He sent my husband home to be placed on hospice! I wouldn’t recommend taking my dog to him. My husband has a new liver and he told us he wouldn’t quality for a transplant. Never offered having my husband transferred to Houston knowing we had an appointment. We made it and by the grace of God he survived the trip. He was in Christus for 2 months and nothing was basically done! Stay far far away from this doctor!

My recent experience with him in May 2020 was less than anything desirable. It is very unfortunate that we trusted Dr. Ghattas’ treatment. Fortunately, my loved One was taken to another facility and has received life saving treatment. Dr. G wanted to discharge him home on hospice. He made very poor decisions in my loved ones care. I am thankful that we did not take his recommendation to go home and die. I wish I could give negative stars. Sorry, but this is truth.
