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.

While Dr Safar used to be a good and caring doctor, covid has really taken a toll on his practice. He has given up his physical office, no longer has an office manager and conducts all his business through his iPhone. He has become difficult if not impossible to reach, and his bedside manner has vanished. I personally do not feel a physician, especially a neurologist, can conduct a proper exam 100% virtually. It is time for him to retire and hand his patients off to a younger physician who is interesting in physically treating them.

Truly a bad experience. He was very weird and quirky not to mention did not give me any feedback was very cold and uninformative about my condition. he later then would not send my results to my GP or other family Dr until I went to the office then he told me it was nothing and billed me $406.00 for an office visit what a scammer. I would never recommend anybody go to him or his broken down practice, won't even take credit cards cash or check only.

Dr. Safar always takes his time to exam you from head to foot. Explains what he finds and goes over the avenues we can pursue. His office doesnt have any bells and whistles, but runs like a fine tuned machine. Sandra is very knowledgeable and is always willing to help with all of my questions. They work very well together. They both get an A++ from me :0

I've been seeing Dr. Safar for more than 10 years and he is very caring and thorough in explaining all medications, side effects, if we are changing them. He always encourages me to call the office if need be as well. I have follow up visits as necessary and his bedside manner is a little quirky......but there is nothing wrong with quirky!!

I have been a patient of Dr. Safar for a number of years now, he has helped me with a few problems . He is very understanding,listens to you and figures out your problem or can refer you to a Dr who can . He doesn't keep you waiting long and he doesn't rush you out he door. All Doctors should be as kind as Dr. Safar and that's why he is one of my favorites .

Terrible experience. He was condescending. Would only give us minimal feedback. My wife had a serious head injury and he never took it seriously. He would ask her a series of yes and no questions and then give us no feedback even if we asked for it. Appalling

I found Dr. Safar to have amazing attention to detail which is always important in a physician especially when dealing with a head injury. He listened to all my concerns and I left feeling very confident,
