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.

I'd give zero stars if this site would let me.
Undoubtedly the worst excuse for a 'doctor' I've ever encountered, and I've encountered a lot of doctors because of a cancer and heart diagnosis. Do not do not do not under any circumstances allow this charlatan to treat you. He's arrogant. He's sarcastic. He's patronizing. He's useless. He's dangerous.

great doctor to work with
I have worked with Dr.AFAQ for a few years. I have faced and come to accept some core fears about myself and my family. He has fundamentally helped me, and I strongly recommend him to anyone.

Unhelpful
I've had him as a doctor on multiple occassions when inpatient at several different places. Everytime they put him as my doctor my stomach drops knowing how awful he has been in the past.First he hardly ever speaks to you face to face. Second he just throws pills at you and holds you there as long as he can. Third one time he let the nurses inject me with like 3 different medications in the span of aroun an hour in an attempt to 'calm me down' and I had a dystonic reaction so when the morning came I was feeling horrible by the evening was still having a reaction and I had to go to the ER for it then the hospital I was staying did not want me back. I would assume they why on not letting me back is because they knew they gave me way to many medications in such a short period and caused that. At the time I was a minor so I couldn't do anything legally. If it happened now as an adult he would definetely have a lawsuit on his hands.

Steer clear.
Emotionally traumatizing. Careless. Dangerous. Uninformed. If you love someone do not let this man near them. You should hear the way he talks about the patient behind closed doors to truly understand. Shame on him

I agree not sure why this doctor is still in practice. Clearly seems to keep people on a hold unnecessarily. Seems to want insurance money. Did nothing but cause more mental health trauma. He has a terrible reputation even in the hospitals he services.

He stopped my medicine cold turkey and switched me to a different medicine without telling me. I was at a peace hospital. I had to take the medicine. He had me held there. Got attorneys to get me out. Rude, foul mouthed, only in it for the money. Could care less about anyone other than himself.

Seeing this doctor was the worst experience of my life. There are to many reasons to explain in this comment of why. I personally do not think he should still be practicing medicine especially psychiatry!
