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.

Dr. Zahid was my nephrologist for nearly 10 years. He is EXCEPTIONALLY knowledgeable, personable and has always had my best interests at heart. Highly recommended.

Dr Zahid saved my Kidneys 8 years ago. When other patients with FSGS were having Kidney transplants we decided to try alternative approach. 8 years later my original kidneys are working just fine. We have fantastic Nephrologist in Indianapolis but I still drive back for my check ups to see Dr Zahid. I thank God every day I found Dr Zahid. Thank you Good Dr! Jed

Although Dr. Zahid himself is a fine doctor, his practice is the worst. On 2 separate occasions when my pharmacy tried to call for a prescription refill, they get no response. They tried for over 2 weeks, faxing requests multiple times. I call the office and get only the answering service and am told that someone will call back, but they never do. I have changed doctors, but they want to CHARGE me for my records!! The staff is RUDE and IGNORANT.

Dr Zahid has been treating my mom for years. He is compassionate and takes time to listen,we never feel rushed. He always answers our calls to him, He has treated many ailments that she has that are not even in his field but is so knowledgeable that he knows what to do. He also has referred us to other doctors when there is a problem that he can not treat and then he works with them to treat her. Our family has so much confidence in Dr. Zahid that I felt compelled to tell others.

I would NEVER, worst Dr. ever. Since changing Dr's we have NOT been in any hospitals, we have not needed additional procedures aside from dialysis, that at one time Dr Zahid claimed would have to be done weekly for maintenance. We we're required to monitor his dialysis per session to ensure fluid was being removed to maintain dry weight as his staff constantly over looked the importance of this. 6 months without a hospital stay now, which under Dr. Zahid's care was a WEEKLY event!

Untrustworthy management, they just want to go after your money and send you to collections without any notice. Was trying to lease a unit years later to find out I was sent to collections for a petty amount.

Dr Zahid is a passionate man and really cares about his patients. He goes above and beyond being a doctor in his field. I have so much trust and faith in this doctor. I've been to other Nephrologist and they never pinpointed what the problem I was having. Dr Zahid ran a few test and ultrasounds and he found that my Kidneys were failing. I had a kidney transplant 9 yrs ago and because I'm in the care of Dr Zahid, I am doing very well. He's my life angel. Thank you Dr Zahid

Dr Zahid is the best doctor in IL. He is someone you can trust when a family member is in a critical condition and needs a smart doctor who cares. He will save your life and will be there when you need him the most.
