Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep the reviews trustworthy, honest & fair.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

Terrible table side manner, does not respect patients time, his practice is just a money factory, he cares about your money and not your health. Avoid at all costs. Dr Agha's practice is mismanaged, the office is disgusting, and the staff are incompetent.

We thank God every day for finding us Dr. Agha. He is a wonderful physician, kind, caring, and concerned. We would not have the life we do today without his care. We have been seeing him for six years now and have been grateful since the first meeting in the hospital. I have 100% confidence in Dr. Agha and I trust him completely. I have and will continue to recommend Dr. Agha always.

On my 4th visit I waited over an hour. Then got put in a room and sat for another 10 to15 minutes. Doc came in unprepared with my results then came back and spent less than 2 minutes with me. Then his assistant was supposed to set me up with a clap machine. They sat me down for another 25 minutes and then the assistant saw me and said no one told him I was waiting for him. He said he had to reschedule me. Blah blah blah. All the while not one person in the office apologized for jerking me aroun

Dr Agha is very knowledgable! He diagnosed me correctly after I was told nothing was wrong with me by another physician. He helped speed up my recovery and I am back to normal. I would definitely recommend him!
