Dr. Amjad Mahfoud, MD

We have gone to Dr. Mahfoud for years with good care. Now they are charging to fill out a physical form... $15! It literally takes a few seconds. Wrong and ridiculous!

I can only use the word IGNORANCE to describe him. I find him to help me fill out the immigration documents, waste me one month's time to get all the paperworks from health department and then told me he cannot do it. Then I go to another doctor ( i call two other doctors) borh said the things he asked me to do is unnecessary. I told him the very first day at his clinic that I had syphilis and even I got treated, my blood test will always show as positive. He said its ok he will explain. Fine then i trust him. So after the blood test result came out, he ask me to go to health center to get proof of treatment, i said i have medical record from health center but he said he wont accept it and i need to go get letter. The things he want from the letter actually is stated on my medical document. Fine i already wasted 15 days so i guess i willn go get it even the health center said it is unnecessary and the medical record should show the proof. Now I got the letter saying that i alreasy… got treated. Then the most ridiculous thing happen the day after, he asked me to go get treatment because my blood test result is positive!!!!!! I explain to him that according to CDC website , the patient with syphilis will always got tested positive for a long time even after successful treatment. THE nurse argued with me that NO! she said after treatment i m supposed to be NEGATIVE!!!! its like arguing with me that HIV is treatable when i have show them every proof that it is not. She said according to the doctor. If your doctor is educated about syphilis, he wont request me to go a letter when my medical record has explained everything and ask me get treatment when my RPR titer is dropping year after year. Even i get 10000 times my blood test result for syphilis will always show as positive. Then the nurse qsked me go to health center again to get a proof stating that syphilis test result will always be positive for lifetime!!! This is ridiculous!!! its all on CDC website. You are asking me to go to health center asking them to educate you about the nature of syphilis when you are a immigration doctor??? thats crazy.At that time i just feel like he is wasting my time and i just need to go find a doctor who knows what he is doing. He need to be disqualified as an immigration doctor because he doesnt even educated about one of the things that is part of immigration requirement. i will do everything i can to get him disqualified so he cannot let his ignorance ruin other people's live and waste other people's time anymore.

Not only is Dr. Mahfoud an excellent doctor, so is his staff. Dr. Mahfoud is patient, kind and takes time with patients to make patient and parent feel comforted, understood and helped. I have never met a doctor with better bedside manner and who is so dedicated to helping people. His staff are thorough, smart, and very courteous. This is sadly not always my experience with other doctors. I highly recommend Dr. Mahfoud.

I've been bringing both of my children to the same doctor since 1998. I love their service and I'm happy that I never had to change doctors for any reason.

thanks you

Dr Mahfoud is very knowledgeable and extremely thorough... My son has had many issues in his short life, and his follow-up and attentiveness are fantastic. Many people don't realize, but when you call his office after hours, your messages go straight to his personal phone. Most physicians do not take the time to respond to you via their staff, let alone give you a personal call back after hours even when it's not even an emergency! In my personal experience as a nurse, it doesn't get much better. I have noticed that Dr. Mahfoud's clinic is very busy, and looking at some of the negative reviews on this sight, and knowing him as I do over the last year; there are always two sides to every story. As a consumer, any time you see someone go on a rant or say something to the extreme, you have to ask yourself...what REALLY happened here? I can't tell you how many times I have seen a restaurant on yelp with 1 or 2 stars, walked in, and was blown away by the service and the food. Everything… he does is purposeful, and if you feel like you don't understand something, or his reasoning behind something...ask! He will always take the time to explain something to you, and has no problem being questioned. I would definitely recommend him to other mom's and my patients!

My son has seen Dr. Mahfoud since he was born and he has always been very caring. He treats his patients as he would treat his family. He answers all my questions and makes sure that all his patients received prompt medical care from referrals, test and follow ups. His staff is always professional and follow up on all requests promptly. You always know that Dr. Mahfoud and his staff are available and are looking out for your health and well being.

I had to change my son's doctor late in my son's life 17 as I had a recent job change and with that new insurance. My son and I were both apprehesive to go to a new doctor. My Son had been with his previous peditrician since he was 5. Needless to say the experience was AWESOME.. Dr. Mahfoud treated my son with dignity and kindness knowing that my son was feeling very awkward about seeing a new doctor. Dr. Mahfoud's kind and gentle disposition was very much appreciated. He even after the visit gave my son the opportunity to speak to him in person with my being present, in case he had private concerns, knowing my son would be 18 in a matter of weeks. I would reccommend this doctor to anyone. :-)

Dr. Mahfoud is kind and caring. He genuinely has the best intrest of his patient's well being and health. So sweet in the way he speaks to the children.

DO NOT GO TO THIS PEDIATRICIAN!! Both of my kids have had this dr. since birth. They are now 7 and 4. Last week I had a really bad interaction with Dr. Mahfoud. I took my daughter in for a vaginal infection. He also noticed that I am having a skin infection on her legs and "private area" treated by a dermatologist. When I went to him first (about a year ago) regarding this skin virus he told me not to do anything and it will eventually go away. After a few months of doing nothing her virus was spreading all over her body and they (small red bumps) were very itchy. I finally took it upon myself to take her to a dermatologist and we have been getting them treated. Very easy treatment and not painful, which he told me all treatments for this were. The day I took her in he had an intern with him. After examining my daughter and ending the appointment he turned to his intern and started to explain to her about my daughters skin virus and said "as you can see, she had them treated. She… should have left it alone but its the mothers choice." I was really offended by this and turned to him and said "just so you know the bumps have tripled in 4 days. I can't just let them do that. Yes, of course I am having them treated." He then chuckled, smiled at me, turned back to the intern and said "like I said, she should have left them untreated but again, its the mothers choice" I was very upset! How dare he question my parenting and right in front of me??? He should have at least waited until I was out of the room to speak badly of my decisions. I was shocked. So when I got home I called the office manager and discussed with her what just had happened. She said she would take down the message and pass it on to him. So over the weekend we received a letter of him apologizing for the situation which I really appreciated. However, at the bottom of the letter he said that he was "sorry that our doctor/patient relationship would end this way." I just called them and spoke to the manager and told her I never said I didn't want him as our pediatrician again. And she said that he decided to not be our doctor anymore. WHAT???? Again, I was in total shock! I said to her "so, he insulted me and because I complained about it he doesn't want to treat my kids anymore? And you are telling me that my daughter, who has only known him since birth has to go to another dr., especially now with this vaginal infection? A total embarrassing and private issue???" She said without any compassion "I guess so". My poor kids. I can't believe I have put my trust and my kids health in this man's hands. Shame on me. So I just want to warn any of you thinking about going to him. Just know the minute you go against what he tells you and you follow your instincts he is going to let you know how you failed as a parent. Oh, and you better not complain about anything or you will be "kicked out". Unprofessional and ridiculous.
