Dr. Muhamed Hazem Nouraldin, MD

Awful doctor. Complete pill pusher. I've never had such an awful experience in the medical community. I had two disc herniations in my lower back for 7 months (found out from a different doctor who would finally give me the mri that I wanted). Dr Nauraldin kept giving me more and more medicine and when I said I wanted real treatment he suggested I was depressed, it's fibromyalgia (catch-all term), I have a low pain threshold and because I took a nerve test that didn't find any nerve issues with my back, he decided that the test dictated nothing was wrong. Even though i told him I know my body and I know something is wrong. He suggested I continued at work, continued to lift heavy bags of soil and do not focus on pain. If I didn't listen to my body, he would have absolutely made my condition worse. He did a brain MRI and a neck MRI but I asked for a lower body one. He said it was not necessary. Even though it was exactly what I needed. I was clear on my pain points, my level of pain and… what I was going through. I barley left bed because of his "medical advice". I cannot express enough how awful my expirence with him was and how he prolonged my progress. I had to ask for Physical Therapy 4 months in. He never once suggested it and gaslit me into believing it wasn't something I needed. My Physical Therapists were the closest to diagnosing me (seeing it as sciatic nerve issues) and when I told the doctor of the PT treatment, he said "Physical Therapists are not real doctors" I don't care about the doctor specifications of whether or not they are but it was the implication of what he said. He was talking down someone who opposed his views and I had said was actually helping. The ego on this man. I hope you have a better expirence with him than I did but God forbid you try to advocate for yourself. I didn't even contact him with my results of the slipped discs because, from prior visits, he excels in snaking his way out of blame. If he would have said to me "I am sorry I didn't suggest PT" or "I am sorry I didn't do the MRI that you needed" or " I miscalculated" whatever it is, i would accept it. However he has refused to take any accountability all this time, why even try at this point. Seeing him always made my blood pressure go up because as a young adult, fighting for yourself is a difficult thing. But I did, and he refused.

Dr Nouraldin is friendly and caring to his patients, my family all see him and we are very satisfied.

I am in my 59 th year of life and I thank God Dr. Noraldin as my doctor. He takes time to listen to my concerns about my health issues and always explains to me what has to be done to achieve recovery. He is every thing a doctor should be. In my opinion he is second to none.
