Explains nothing. Spends minimum time with patients. I have had difficulty with getting staff to return phone calls, even in important matters.

Dr. Al Sabbagh was a life saver to me. He diagnosed me quickly and correctly. I have not had abdominal pain for two years now. I still do regular check ups with him, and he is very curtious, calm, and professional with all my questions and needs!!! I appreciate all his hard work and knowledge!!!

very pleasant, polite and sensitive. I've been having trouble with severe abd pain for 5 years and had been treated by two other doctors. I met him one weekend in an ER, he was covering for my MD. It did take several ERCP's and visits to the ER, but I've been pain free and able to eat just about anything for over a year. I'm VERY please with his care. He was a GOD-sent to me. THANK YOU

I went in for severe stomach and side pain and he scheduled endoscopy and told me it was gastritis (irritation of stomach lining). He prescribed meds and on my second visit was not much better. I wound up having to go to the ER a few weeks later and they said probably gallstones because my liver bloodwork was extremely elevated. I went to my general physician and with a simple test he found multiple gallstones and I had surgery within two weeks.

Superior knowledge. Have not been able to get other doctors to properly treat my chronic constipation...fiber not working at all. Dr. Al-Sabbagh started me on a new drug called Zelnorm, which is not a laxative. It has changed my life! I would definitely recommend him to a friend or relative. I plan to have my colonoscopies performed by him.

I called to setup a first time appt. The person who answered the phone was very unprofessional, put me on hold and never came back. This Dr. should know that his staff has a big influence on getting him patients. I hung up, called another Dr and was glad I did. I found an excellent Dr. I believe the staff reflects on the Dr.

Rude and unpleasant. Verbally abusive of me. Not able to deal effectively and safely with multi-symptom complex case. Did not tell me about dangerous side effects of certain meds (I found out elsewhere and told him) and lied to me saying my case could not be treated with meds - needed dangerous invasive procedure. And that's despite the fact I know the problem can be handled with meds but the side effects are a problem. I do not want to ever see him again for myself or the family member that he was also rude to. Perceived him to be a testy person. On the bright side - readily agreed to have me see someone else and let his assistant fax me the procedure report!
