Sahir Mahir Gharib MD

This is the first PCP I have seen in a long time that actually listened to me and my concerns and explained things to me while he was inputting information into the system. He even noticed a growth on my eye and asked if I needed a referral and that was not the reason for my visit. No other provider has ever addressed my eye.

I love PIH!

The doctor was awesome, the best I've had sense I been in PIH ..

I was very happy and satisfied with Dr.Gharib bc he was very effiecient and very helpful and knew what he was doing. He was very respectful and kind. I would definitely go see him again for treatment. The staff was just as nice and efficient. Im very happy and reliefed having no pain now.

Hi, this doctor is very nice. He's very professional, and very careful in listening, and so management, time and patient feeling well. For so busy life for the doctor in PIH, this is a valued doctor of PIH. Thank you. Thank you doctor, stay in PIH clinic. Appreciate that he's working hard.

Dr. Gharib was very rude and impersonal. He spoke so quickly that I could barely understand him. He mentioned twice that he didn't have time to discuss things with me. At the end of the appointment he mentioned I needed to lose weight, and when I explained I am on a medication that is known to cause weight gain and that I'm having a hard time losing weight, he told me 'it's not rocket science, you just need to eat less. Would you like me to refer you to a weight management program because we don't have time to discuss this.' He spent less than 5 minutes with me. I left the office feeling embarrassed and in tears. I will never see this doctor again.

Yes, I'm still waiting. I really like this doctor, but I'm still waiting on an authorization to medications that have been forever, and it's not just this doctor. It's other doctors, but I don't get no response from them. So I guess that's it. Thank you.

The doctor did not ask questions correctly that my 18year old could understand. I had to explain and tell the doctor how to ask the questions to an 18yr that is use to having mom do all the talking. But yet the doctor told my son if he was confused and didn't know what he was asking him.

Great bedside manner and addressed my concerns with empathy. I appreciated his recommendations.

Happy they took care of me promptly Thank you

So happy to have Dr. Gharib as my new doctor.

Dr. Gharib is my new primary care physician, and yesterday was the first time I met him. I was greatly impressed with his demeanor and his professional, efficient manner when giving me a physical exam. I was equally impressed with the nice nurse who gave me a cognitive acuity exam. Overall, I was very pleased with my visit to the P.I.H. health center and could have not asked for a better experience. (PHI removed)

I'm very happy, very, very happy for the service. Thank you.

I've been dealing with the issue at hand for some time now. It has been constantly over looked. I feel that this time around, after this particular visit. We are finally getting somewhere with my treatment. Thank You.

Just a follow-up. After x-rays. Probably follow-up.

Yeah, the staff is not very attentive. When you walk in, they don't acknowledge you. They want to have the, my blood, the blood workup when they put a needle in your arm and take a blood sample. The young lady wasn't very helpful. So she gave me a cup for a urine sample. Basically just said, just grab a cup. And that's it, no instructions. No, the restroom's over here. Once you're done, bring it back over here and place it there. Nothing like that. It's like a guessing game. You have to figure it out yourself. And then the doctor himself, I had a concern about

Good afternoon. Well, I was referred, but honestly, the doctor didn't seem interested in the patient's health; he didn't show it. Also, the nurses were very serious and very despotic. I didn't feel the way a patient or client should feel in a clinic that cares about people's health. This is what I think, and I have to say it in this message. That's why I'm interested in all the messages that people are leaving. Obviously, this is my opinion. The laboratory was very problematic, and I understand that emergencies can happen, but it shouldn't have taken so long and made my husband return from very far away. If you can improve, there are many areas to address.

Good experience

Yes, this feedback is more so for PH in general. The provider that this feedback is for is, I've already put it in, it was a good experience. I look forward to seeing him again. But he needed to refer me to neurology for an EMG study, but neurology cannot get me in for until January. Currently it is July 28th, and they could not get me in until January for the study, which is needed to make the presumptive diagnosis and then to then treat. I'm a physician myself. I'm an internist. I'm a hospitalist. So I know I understand some of the caveats and the issues with our healthcare system, but not being able to get this one study.

Very thorough, attentive and responsive to my question

Very quick and precise. I knew my results the next day (Xrays).

I would like them to give appointments sooner because they give them very far. They are very far away, so I'd like when requesting a specialist for them to give them to me.

Excellent !

Didnt listen to my concerns, said everything was due to my age and that I smoked.

Friendly, easy to respond, helpful.

I felt like my visit was rushed. The doctor did not explain the medication that he prescribed to me, did not show interest in my story or give me any feedback when I would explain. It was very direct. He did not want to spend as much time with me, so I do not know much of my medication. I have to go online now and read on it and see exactly what I'm taking. I did not care about my back situation. I would not want to go back with this process.

Dr. Is sharp but front office isweak

Hello, (unreadable) are all happy with the doctors who have treated me so far, I don't have any complaints, I feel very good about myself. I'm perfectly fine. Thank you for the good service you have given us and to me, I am truly there, thank you very much, thank you very much, may you continue like this throughout your life with all the people, as with me. Thank you very much, good afternoon, (unreadable).

After seeing the doctor I can honestly say my pain level has gone down 80%. Amazing. It's not fixed but far more manageable. This was affecting me 24 hours a day.

Always a great experience when I see this doctor and the local staffing at the office

That they have someone who speaks more Spanish.

All ok Thank You

My entire visit was very good.

My whole experience with Dr Gharib is exceptional. He was very accommodating and very professional.

Doctor was very knowledgeable and courteous.

I was severely ill with high temperature and upper respiratory infection. I followed up with Dr. Gharib and he was able to asses my situation, prescribe the right medication and medical advice. Very friendly staff and very knowledgeable welcoming doctor

My son the patient is 38 years old and has Down Syndrome he can speak for himself when he has spoken to. I am there as his mom to make sure things are explained easily and any concerns that we both have. The Dr. did answer my questions and explained what things But he didn't look at either one of us in the eye. His focus was on the laptop. Maybe it was a busy day for him

Compared to other visit at other locations this was pretty quick

Thank you for your support and service for my mom who is elderly with dementia

Everything went well and a big thanks to Dr Gharib and staff. I was only disappointed in that the on site lab was "closed until further notice"

I was disappointed with the referral process as he referred me over to a GI who was unable to schedule an appointment or meet my needs based on insurance's purposes.

I didn't make an appointment I just was a walk-in but he was great. He listened well and I trusted him and my issue is gone with what he provided for me so I think him for that.

I think the doctor was a rookie. He was treating me for COPD exasperation, although he said I had other issues. He prescribed a very weak. antibiotic Along with two other medications, which I already have one in my position. as it's prescribed by my normal MD It's kinda sad that PIH does not have appointments available to see a doctor within. 48 or 72 hours. I wish I would never have taken alignment health care because it is junk. People on Medicare are not being treated right.

I am extremely happy with PIH..I was unable to see a PIH physician for a few years because of insurance reasons..but new insurance and very happy to be back and receive good health care

Helped a lot

Dr. (name removed) was a great doctor. I will miss him. I wanted to send him a "thank you" for taking care of me all these years. I was told I would be able to have someone take the card to him, but when I got there, the nurse told me that it couldn't be given to Dr. (name removed). However, Dr. Gharib was able to at least try to see if there was a way to contact Dr. (name removed) so that I can send him the card. Dr. Gharib was a helpful person and hopefully will be able to care for my medical needs as years continue. If you ever hear from Dr. (name removed) can you please let him know that I would like to send him a "thank you " note.

Dr. Gharib listened and presented a clear care plan. I feel much better that he's my PCP.

For me everything was very good, they treated me very well, all the staff were very kind to me.

very pleased.

Service was fast. Nurse was even courteous to take us to X ray dept.

Dr Gharib listened to my concerns, and answered my questions thoroughly, doctor was pleasant, very knowledgeable regarding my health concerns. Will definitely stay on as a patient with Dr. Gharib.?

The entire staff was noticed treating everyone and each other well.

Everything was good. Everyone took good care of me.

The facility with the doctors and the staff is fantastic, but there needs to be more of a private place for when they're doing an intake, not necessarily the vitals, but when they're asking you what your problem is. There's no privacy. There's other people around listening. So that's very important. There needs to be more privacy in that sense. Thank you.

Yes, he was very thorough and I like that, but he didn't have much of a bedside manner. It's like he didn't hardly pay attention to what I had to say or acknowledge what I said, but he was thorough with what my problem was and I do want to recommend him for that. I'd rather have somebody that is thorough than somebody that has a wonderful bedside manner and is not very thorough. I would recommend him.

Doctor needs to be more more careful when he is checking patient so there's no injury to patient!

It was fast and efficient which was lovely but the doctor went into a rant about me losing weight and what nutrition I needed to eat even though that had nothing to do with what I was there for. Since he's not my PCP he doesn't know my history around weight and it was extremely uncalled for. He even kept going on about me having a child even though I told him multiple times I wasn't having kids. He doesn't know that I've had an ED or even if I'm capable of having children or even how triggering those topics could be for me. I was there to get a cough checked. Not to talk about nutrition for losing weight and how vital it is for me to lose weight so I could have a child. That's my PCP's responsibility. Not an urgent care doctor. That conversation could have an extremely negative impact on mine or any other woman's mental health. Please stick to the topic of concern if you're not the PCP. You don't know the patients history.

Good person, showed respect and understanding, did not waste my time, thank you.

You can implement more training for staff that they can actually take respiratory issues seriously because this is the second time that I haven't been taken serious and my breathing problems were ignored. And I would like actual providers to also take into account how serious respiratory issues are. This is the second time this has happened to me. But I want to file a grievance against you guys. Goodbye.

i saw the summary and things that i said were hurting or happening he said were not...i think he only focused on the 1st thing i said and ignored the rest

Yes, I thought I was treated very, very well. I always get expert service with PIH and I'm happy to stay with them. Bye-bye.

Everything was fine with the doctor and the staff. They were very nice. He was very helpful. My only suggestion is that the facility needs to be cleaned up a little. It looked like it needed to be vacuumed and cleaned. But otherwise, everything was fine. Thank you.

Yeah, this doctor was the best. I've been coming to PIH for a while, like the internal medicine doctors, and they don't care. They do not care. But this Dr. Sahir, he cares. He even listened to my lungs for the first time. Other doctors in there, they don't even listen to your lungs. I was, I came there one time, I was coughing, I had pneumonia. Nobody listened to me, listened to my lungs. This doctor did, he took the time, and he made sure that I understood. And he, I've never seen, this is the first time I have a doctor at PIH, other than Dr. (name removed), the pediatrician, and the OB/GYN, the other internal medicine doctors, or they call them family medicine doctors, they don't care. They don't care. Dr. (name removed) doesn't care, doesn't even listen to your lungs, doesn't

The Doctor was very conservative. He examined me well. He checked my foot, which was something that no other doctor had done. Thank you, I'm very grateful.

Dr. Gharib encouraged questions about the care and took the time to answer them thoroughly. It was a very, very big help to have his patience and expertise, as well as very good communication skills.

He gave the shot very well

He is an excellent doctor

Good experience

Excellent care...All staff were great.

I wish that the urgent care was open earlier on Saturdays. There were nine people in line by 930. It was another half an hour before you even opened and there were even more people in line after that. It would be nice to open at 9. It would be kinder to your people that need help. Thank you.

Completely satisfied. Thank You

Satisfied

Very friendly service thank you ?

The sports doctor help me to get rid of my pain. He was very professional and explained everything he was going to do! I feel so much better! Going to get physical therapy soon and I know I will feel better soon! Thank you for all your help!!!

Everything is very good, thank you.

This was an urgent care visit. The wait was roughly three hours. The time spent with the doctor was less than five minutes. He did administer antibiotics and cough syrup, which I'm going to have to probably go back for because I'm not really getting better. Thank you.

Everything was great except that it was a weekend day at Urgent care so I had to wait for an hour and a half. The appt with the Dr. and all the rest of the staff went smoothly and he answered my questions.

I wasn't able to get a hold of Dr. Shabib after my appointment and to know if there was any problems or side effects with the medication he had ordered. So I would like to be able to get a hold of the provider after my visit.

Staff is very professional, friendly and efficient. I always get good service here.

Very nice Doctor and Nurse . Thank You for the very nice visit.

I have a question/concern Some years ago, whe ever you had a physical exam, a series of exans were performed at the time of my visit and now they mainly check your vital signs and send you for to have a lab work done, and that's all, unless you tell the MD that you have a pain or concern other than that you are in and out in 15 mins. They don't even offer to give you the flu shot and if you ask after the MD leaves the room they just tell you to have it done on the follow up visit cause the doctor has gone to see other patients. Takes a long time to schedule an appt. appt. for a physical cause I guess they have a max number of PE exams they ca do in a month or week I don't know, but I belive I shouldn't have to wait 3 months to have a physical done specially if my med refills can't be done until a see a doctor

I was very satisfied with my visit with the doctor. I was satisfied with the staff. Everybody treated me with respect. They were very knowledgeable. The doctor answered all my questions.
