I felt that she didn’t do anything. She asked questions about my swollen legs but didn’t even look at them. She never sat down to talk with me only over me and then walked me out. I didn’t feel like she did a thing.

03/24/2025

She only gave my husband cortisone shots in his knees. Tried Methotrexate, it wasn't working. Tried to call her office 2 Mondays in a row with no callback, nothing.

I have been seeing Dr Lena Sabih for over a year now, & every appointment with her, is like the first, she's very caring & always takes her time with me, I am very lucky to have her as my Dr. Would recommend her to anyone, who needs a good Dr & rheumatologist

02/12/2025

I always walk away well informed. Dr. Sabih is thorough and explains things clearly!

02/11/2025

**Update! I have now seen Dr. Lena Sabih 3 times, and everytime she has been amazing. The way she asks you questions and listens to you and doesn't make you feel rushed at all! I will continue having her as my doctor. It was a good experience for my 1st time there. She listened to me and made a plane. The nurse I had was absolutely fantastic!

01/30/2025

Dr. Sabih was kind and listened. She thought my issues were more allergic rather than rheumatological.

01/08/2025

I appreciate Dr. Sabih and her staff. They are wonderful to work with and answer all my questions and concerns. I feel very fortunate to have them on my health care team.

12/04/2024

Dr. Sabih listens patiently and explains everything. Don't feel rushed. Highly recommend.

11/21/2024

I saw Dr. Sabih for the first time this week. She was very professional, thorough, and a good listener. She took time to carefully collect pertinent history. She offered both options and recommendations, and I left feeling like I have a new partner in my healthcare journey.

11/18/2024

Dr. Sabih is kind, knowledgeable, and caring. She takes her time with me and addresses all my concerns and questions. She is also very prompt as are the rest of the doctors in her office.

11/11/2024

My experience was great. Dr. Sabih And her nurse were very professional, respectful, and personable.

10/29/2024

Got right in. Treated with respect. Felt very comfortable with Dr sabih and her staff.

10/22/2024

Dr Sabih is thorough and she listens to my concerns. She takes the time to make sure all if my needs are met. I would recommend Dr Sabih to anybody needing a rheumatologist. I also like the virtual check in process at this office.

10/04/2024

Dr. Sabih listens carefully and gave me treatment options.

09/25/2024

Excellent.

09/16/2024

I have just started seeing Dr Sabih and I like the way she listens and is helping with this new challenge. Her staff is friendly and that adds to the experience. No one likes to have to go to a doctor but she wants to help and her caring makes it all better.

08/30/2024

Anesia, a nurse of Dr Sabih's went above and beyond to help me with some medical concerns. She was quick to get back to me and great at communicating. She made me feel at ease and was professional.

08/09/2024

Dr. Sabih listens and asks questions. She is totally present with you and does not rush.

07/25/2024

It took a few months to get in for my initial visit but like they say, good things are worth waiting for. I am not the easiest patient as I’ve been given the run around by multiple doctors over the years. That was not my experience here. The doctor and assisting staff are kind and took the time to listen to all of my concerns. I highly recommend Dr. Sabih.

07/18/2024

Unnecessary doctor visit. Referral from family physician for a blood result showing a marker. Waste of everyone’s time and money!

07/17/2024

The Dr and her nurse are amazing! Waiting to get in is quite lengthy.

06/24/2024

My first time visiting with Dr Sabih. She was kind, patient and explained in detail my options now and in the future. We agreed on a way forward together. I don't think you could ask for more from a physician. Plus her staff were all nice and professional. I'm glad my primary Dr referred me to her.

06/24/2024

Dr. Sabih was friendly and took time to talk to me and answer all of my questions. I look forward to following up with her.

06/13/2024

This is the first time I have seen Dr. Sabih, but she took her time listening to me and sent me for labs and x-rays right then. The next day I had a message in my chart regarding what steps she proposed I take. I couldn't ask for anything more than that!

06/06/2024

It’s a treat to have her take care of all my concerns a great doctor.

06/04/2024

Dr. Sabih get straight to the point. So I have to admire her for that. But research hasn't come up with solutions. You have 2 ways to go. If your joint problems are minor, it's treatable. If not then there is really nothing she can do for you, except pain medication with side affects and or physical therapy, which in my experience, has made my problem worst.

06/04/2024

Went in today 6-4-2024 from a referral from my primary I am very impressed with Dr sabih! She is very knowledgeable and caring finally a doctor who knows what going on and what they are doing! Thank goodness I was referred to dr sabih I highly recommend her She's great! If not the greatest doctor I had so far!

05/29/2024

Dr Sabih and her nurse are amazing! I finally have found a doctor who listen and is looking for a solution. So glad to have found her!

04/30/2024

Dr. Sabih is always on time, very professional, friendly and covers current treatment and possible future treatment is necessary.

04/24/2024

My appointment was scheduled for 8 and I was told to arrive 15 minutes early. I want called back until 8:30. Frustrating considering I was the first appointment of the day. Overall the Dr. Herself is good. Listens and explains things well. But did not appreciate waiting 45 minutes.

04/23/2024

One appointment in (that I waited 3 months for) and I’m severely disappointed with the lack of compassion, understanding, and care that the doctor put into my appointment.

04/18/2024

Dr Sabih was warm, friendly and very helpful in examining my mom's conditions.

04/05/2024

Dr. Sabih is a very competent doctor, very clear and thorough, with a very pleasant manner. I am a relatively new patient but very thankful that I was referred to her.

04/01/2024

I had a great experience. Dr. Lena Sabih is knowledgeable, compassionate, caring, and professional.

03/27/2024

Dr. Sabih is kind and compassionate. She listens to your concerns and is open to trying new therapies.

03/25/2024

Dr. Sabih was attentive and direct. She addressed all my concerns and made sure to check-in again at the end of the appointment in case I had any new questions. I would be comfortable seeing her for any joint issues in the future.

02/02/2024

I was very pleased with my initial visit with Dr.Sabih. She addressed all of my concerns, answered all my questions, followed up with additional questions to make sure we were hitting all of the bases. I never felt rushed and never felt like I was asking dumb questions. It’s nice to have a provider who seems to genuinely care about their patients condition.

01/25/2024

I felt comfortable at ease with Dr. She made me feel like she was going to try and get to the bottom of this sickness I've had for a long time so yesterday was my first appointment with her and she's very nice she listens.

01/08/2024

I was looking for answers for the arthritis that has been an issue since I was 16...I felt like the doctor and I formed a plan of "attack " which gave me a direction to address this chronic problem

12/04/2023

She was very nice and very knowledgeable.

11/07/2023

Dr.Sabih is knowledgeable and was patient with all my questions. I left feeling positive that there is hope for a fairly normal life.

09/27/2023

Dr Sabih took me and my symptoms very seriously and made me feel comfortable by explaining the next steps we would look to take in great detail. The staff, the nurses, the imaging technicians and phlebotomists were all incredibly friendly and helpful. Overall, it was a great visit and a wonderful office!
