I have had back pain for nearly 1 years now. I made an appointment with doctor Ibrahim and I waited in the office for nearly 2 hours, finally I was about to give up and leave and the receptionist asked me if I would like to see the PA so I agreed, Melissa Gallagher was very compasoniate and knowledgeable, I trust her. SHE GAVE ME A SCRIPT FOR PAIN MED< My fisrt day of taking them I had no problem second day was a whole differant story I called the office and needed to speak to her and left a message for her to return my call, which she did the next day but I wasnt home. I called back and asked for a return call and to this day I still havent heard from her. I made an appointment for a follow up visit and the lady on the phone mader it for 10.30 thursday and asked me to hold on, well 1/2 hr later I called back and the next lady said no appointment was made. Very lack of communication, But Dr. Ibrahim is the greatest. Really cant wait to see the staff when I go Thursday.

I have been seeing Dr Ibrahim for 5 years since a slip and fall on black ice. I truly believe if it were not for him I would not be able to tolerate working. I go every day using my spinal cord stimulator and knowing of I need to see him I have no worries about getting in. The staff is great and they also treat patients with compassion. It is well known that The Lord has angels on earth for us to encounter and from my heart I know he is one of my angels. I have sent friends and family to his office. If I could give him more than four stars I would. God Bless

Since going to him I have lost total use of my arm.After injections, blood formed in my arm and I had to go to a real doctor. He did not blame himself and didn't want to have anything else to do with me... That is until the bill was due.His bill was overly expensive. Not only that but I was double billed. I probably would have been triple billed....I guess he needs more than the above few friends as patients!

I've been a patient of Dr. Ibrahim for quite some time..I do agree wtih the other comments about him being compassionate very understanding about the needs of the patient...There are doctors who treat their patients like "road kill" on the contrary Dr. Ibrahim is someone i would recomment to anyone who needs help with chronic pain....His staff very understanding as well, I've developed more of a rapport with Maria, Anna and especially Mellisa Gallagher their newest(physician assistant) extremely knowledgeable and exhibits a very attractive quality...I will undergo a peripheral spinal cord stimulatation and i know that i am in great hands...

Dr Ibrahim is a great doctor. He listens to your issues and address them very conservatively. He is big on injections but is willing to give pain medication if needed. He has never pushed any medication on me in fact it was the opposite. He is very fair and understanding. The staff is great and always has your best interest at hand. Margarete the manager is the sweetest and the kindest person in the world she would probably give you an organ if you needed one. The nurse practitioner is just as good as the doctor him self. She is MUCH easier on the eye then the doc...lol. Overall my experience with the doc and his team has been excellent. I had insurance before it was cut off and there rate for office visits are the cheapest in the state.. rather in the country. I was discharged due to my own negligence but i have nothing but great things to say about them. I hope them all well god speed...
