He is completely unprofessional I feel sorry for the staff there he yells at his team infront of patients which is extremely demoralizing to the workers.
More than 1 year agoHisham R.Verified patient
I'm a first-time patient, his bedside manner was cordial. He was very direct didn't speak in a way that would worry and scare me out of his office. He was responsive to my questions and explained in a clear and succinct manner.

It was my first visit but I was very happy with my experience
the staff are so nice and helpful the doctor is very knowledgeable, caring ,attentive and informing
November 14, 2019Nehayah H.Verified patient
I do think this doctor is knowledgeable, but his bed side manner is atrocious and a deal breaker. He’s incredibly rude and won’t complete any forms insurance requires. So tests or prescriptions that insurance questions, you will not get because it’s too much trouble for this doctor to complete a form. Bad experience. There are far too many doctors to choose from to tolerate his behavior.
April 22, 2019Dawn K.Verified patient
I saw Dr. Almoudarres two months ago, he was dismissive and in a rush ( I guess I was his last patient for the day).
After couple of questions he prescribed me something and he sent me for some lab test that I did the day after, until now I’ve been waiting to know about the results, he never got back to me( two months later !!)
Not professional or trustworthy at all.
I would not go back to his office nor I recommend.
October 19, 2018Lia K.Verified patient
Receptionist is very professional and friendly, she makes me feel welcome when I come. Dr Almoudarres has a great bedside manner and addresses my issues accordingly. I left the office feeling much better about my medical care plan and would highly recommend him.
More than 1 year agoSarah C.Verified patient
Every visit was terrible and really demonstrated incompetence in every possible area. Wait time was bad, advice was wildly out of date with [what I later learned are] medical best practices, and the practice was disorganized, so people forgot about me, left medical devices on me accidentally, and actually lied to me about whether they had gone over post-procedure advice with me.
Every interaction with this office has felt like just them trying to milk me for money. I am still dealing with the horrible billing practices over a year later, as they had a DIFFERENT DOCTOR PERFORM MY SURGERY who was not covered by my insurance.
Absolute nightmare with no redeeming qualities. There is no situation where I would recommend this doctor to anyone.

More than 1 year agoSkender D.Verified patient
I arrived earlier than my appointment and had to wait, which was understandable. However, I wanted past my appointment and the doctor arrived 30 minutes late.
Given that, he was wonderful and gave many recommendations, joked, and answer all of my questions. Highly recommended.
Next time, I might not arrive as early so I don't wait too long.

August 29, 2013Qais A.Verified patient
Dr. Almoudarres was sweet, patient, & very thorough with explaining certain medical terms & meanings. He also likes to be accurate with your sickness or issue and therefore recommends running tests to be sure of what is on going with your body. The women who work there are really nice & patient as well. I am relieved that i found this doctor for my father he definitely put my worries to the back burner after leaving his office.

He was thorough in updating my medical records, since I hadn't seen him in 10 years ! He explained the procedure (done in his office, not a hospital), and preparation. He gave me two prescriptions for my prep, and made an appointment within two weeks. I was finished in about 20 minutes. A good visit overall.

Aside from waiting about 50 minutes to see the doctor, he seemed to take a thorough history,had a pleasant disposition and gave clear instructions for the colonoscopy that I will have next week. He was patient and answered all my questions.

My visit went very well. Dr Almoudarres took his time to ask questions & explain to me what was necessary for the procedure I would be having. Also allowed me to ask any questions I needed too.I felt very comfortable talking with the doctor.

The doctor seen us pretty quickly, and asked the needed questions, he even spoke a little bit of Russian (to our surprise). So far everything went well but it was only just a consultation.
