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 Doctor!

Dr. Azhar is the best doctor I have seen in years. She is very attentive to my concerns. She is extremely knowledgable and asks questions to decide the proper treatment for me. Dr.Azhar has a warm personality and I am very comfortable talking to her.

Awesome
I'm so glad I've been seeing Dr. Azhar. I've been with her since the latter half of last year and have noticed significant improvement in myself. She's been with me periodically for updates and changes in medication. Always listens to my concerns and glad she works well with me.

I am very pleased with Dr. Azhar. I have been seeing her for 6+ months. She listens and is sympathetic to my concerns. I feel that she really cares about my well-being. She put me on a different antidepressant which is a better choice for me at this time. I can do telehealth appointments which is so convenient for me. Her office ladies are professional and courteous and make me feel that they too care about me. I totally recommend Dr. Azhar for anyone needing mental health care.

Does not listen and will tell you to take control of yourself. Nobody would need a psychiatrist if it was possible to control a mental illness

Not too happy with this virtual visiting. This should be over with. Do not feel like sometimes am getting the care needed. Issues with the Doxy system and getting help is little to none. May seek care elsewhere

Dr. Azhar is my favorite doctor, before her I visited to several other psychiatrists. They did not listen to my problems completely and intelligently. They put me on high dosage of medicine. No counselling, no empathy, no history taken properly, and rushed the appointment time. My mental health got worst, which affected my physical health as well, and I lost my job and relationships. I was completely isolated at my home for several weeks. Then I searched for a psychiatrist online, and Dr. Azhar’s rating and reviews were the highest. I went to her office, and my life changed completely. She untangled all my fears from my brain, and brought me back to life, by counselling and exercise. She did not prescribe me any drug, that made me sleep all day, and night, and made me lethargic and unproductive. I improved my relationship and went back to work.

Dr. Azhar is a remarkable doctor and I am extremely grateful that I found her. She is very personable and easy to talk to. She is an exceptionally good LISTENER! Extremely knowledgeable in her field with extended knowledge into other fields. Since the onset of my symptoms, I was seen and treated by 5 previous doctors and given up to 7 different medicines, all of which created new symptoms and made some of the existing symptoms worse, after being on them for several days. From my first appointment, virtual (due to covid) with Dr. Azhar, she was able to help me to feel confident that I will get through this tough time that I’ve been dealing with. Dr. Azhar is very encouraging and I know that I will get through what I am currently dealing with her continued help and encouragement. Her office staff is also very pleasant and helpful.

I’ve been going to Dr. Azhar for a little while now and she is GREAT! When I started I was an emotional wreck and my anxiety was intense but now things are much more different. If you’re iffy about talking to someone because you don’t know where to begin, Dr. Azhar is great at getting you to open up. She’s honest, patient, insightful, kind, informational, and has a very calming way to her that makes you feel safe. Thanks to her I have a better outlook on my life and situations that I encounter. I couldn’t be more grateful to my friend for introducing her to me.

Went to see Dr Azhar at a time in my life when I was an emotional wreck and also having issues with my current mental medications. She was very professional and a great listener. Within a short period of time and some medication changes, I am on the right track, happy and enjoying life again. Thank you so much Dr Azhar for all the help you have given me and will continue to give me. Best thing I ever did was calling her office to get an appointment with her. Her office staff is also very professional and called me for an earlier appointment due to a cancellation. I would highly recommend her to anyone who is struggling with any mental health issues.

Although at times there is a wait it’s worth it, she just doesn’t rush patients out, she listens and provides you with the best treatment. Yes it’s easy to complain about wait time but those same people would be complaining if she didn’t listen and just prescribed and rushed them out. Dr Azhar has helped my family member so much, I’ve seen her go from being locked up alone to now enjoying family events and smiling all the time! We are so grateful for Dr Azhar, we’ve been with Dr Azhar for 3 yrs and have never had a problem leaving messages when she is out, her lovely staff are always quick to respond as soon as they can, and I doubt the story about her or her staff calling police on anyone!

Dr. Azhar is amazing. I've been seeing her ten months. The first time I saw her, I was having a panic attack that was ongoing for a month and a half. I wasn't eating, sleeping, and just couldn't think clearly. She listened to me and gave me advice to help me get better without antidepressants or any extreme medications. She prescribed me anxiety medication and continued to see me every few weeks. Each time I saw her, I followed her advice and as weeks passed my anxiety lessened. I couldn't see the light at the end of the tunnel, but Dr. Azhar helped me see that light again. She saved me, and I cannot thank her enough.

I’ve been seeing Dr. Azhar for over a year now. Prior to that I was a patient in the county mental health system in which my doctor was an automaton who did little listening and a lot of medication increases. I cannot believe the stark contrast in doctors after finding Dr. Azhar! Dr. Azhar is kind, attentive, knowledgeable, empathetic and takes time to listen! She is conservative and careful with changing or adding prescriptions. She recently wanted me to get into inpatient and/or intensi

Wonderful, had to wait but thats the new normal with all drs and Dr Azhar is worth the wait. She gives excellent advice, listens to the details and always makes sure to listen to any concerns. She absolutely loves to hear about accomplishments and rejoices with you. She is my cheerleader and goal setter.
