"Dr Labaratta is compassionate and intelligent! She makes eye contact and cares about you and your disease!"

"I liked her at first, and she was very nice, until she basically called me a liar about my pain in my feet. I did not say that they hurt that day, I said they hurt after a long day at work and she made me take my shoes and socks off and March up and down the hallway to see if my feet hurt. So, she says to me that my feet are not inflamed and she wants to see it, as if I’m lying. My foot doctor can send her the X-rays with the inflammation that they showed me. I have to wear special shoes. Then she tells me I have fibromyalgia and I have no idea what that even is. She told me I’m too young for perimenopause (lies or lack of knowledge) just Google it know it all or do a hormone test or something. I’m never putting myself through that again. I waited 4 months to see her. I drove an hour out of my way only to feel worse! Zero stars! Thanks for nothing and I already know I’m stressed, don’t need a degree for that. I can’t take these doctors anymore. Do some tests. Back up your diagnosis! NEVER AGAIN"

"After 18 months of medications, mris, ctscans and 7 specialist that couldn't figure out what i had Dr. Arshad was like sent by God. As soon as i got to the office i was treated with kindness and felt super welcome. Took less than 10min to be checked in and triaged(super fast). Dr. Arshad came in and asked why was i there i explained her and all she did was a quick test because she already knew what it was, send me for xrays and blood work. Weeks later i finally had a diagnosis and thanks to her i got my life back. I work, i play with my kids, things i haven't been able to do in months. Great Doctor, and the best is that she will not push medications on you. I would recommend her to anyone."

"I had a terrible experience with Dr. Arshad. Dr. Arshad is one of the worst doctors I’ve ever had. She did not listen to me or try to find out the cause of my concerns. She simply dismissed them as caused by depression, which was not her place to do."
