Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Great group of people.
Dr. Zafar and his staff are wonderful. They go out of their way to make sure I'm taken care of.

I need a second opinion!!!
After multiple tests and concerns about my condition. No real help was offered and he didn't want to do a kidney biopsy. Instead wanted to refer me to another type of doctor, for them to do his job. After waiting months for an appointment and getting clarity and help, I don't feel like I got any. Just another appointment to see him in 6 months, while whatever is happening with me gets worse and worse!!!
What went well
  • I felt respected
  • Appointment scheduling
  • Staff friendliness
  • Appointment wasn't rushed
  • Wait times
What could be improved
  • Didn't listen or answer questions
  • Didn't explain conditions well
  • Didn't trust the provider's decisions

At one time I thought Dr. Zafar was a okay Nephrologist, until he abandoned his patients. It has been over 6 months since Covid hit the US, and Dr Zafar still refuses to see his patients. You can truly find out what kind of a person your doctor is when there is an emergency. Stay far away from Dr. Zafar, he doesn't care about his patients.
