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.

Excellent physician
Dr Variar is one of the most compassionate physicians I have ever had. He listens, values input and wants to work with me to make sure I am at my peak.

Best Endocrinologist
I'm very satisfied and happy that I have Dr Variar as my Dr. He truly cares about his patients. He is very thorough. Dr doesn't rush my appts and makes sure I understand everything and don't have any questions or concerns before my appt ends. He has been helping me so much with my diabetes and overall health. His staff is also great! I am so appreciative of Dr Variar and his staff. They are the best!

The BEST Endocrinologist I have ever had
Dr Variar is The Best Endocrinologist I have ever had!!! When I told him how pleased I was with the surgeon he had recommended. He responded, I would not send you to anyone I wouldn't go to myself.I have never had a Dr say this without being ask. Dr Variar is a total asset to this complicated field of practice!

Attentive & Caring
Dr. Varier really listens to your concerns/issues and takes action when necessary. I like that he is looking at alternative med for me due to bad side effects of current med, instead of prescribing other meds to combat the side effects.

Dr. Variar is very attentive to his patient’s need
I have several health issues which are impacting me at once. My sugar has been steadily increasing and I need a doctor who can help me control this. I am grateful for Dr. Variar’s professional insight and knowledge of what would help me. I wish that other people could access diabetic and digestive care earlier in their medical conditions. Preventative care is so much more compassionate than emergency care.

Wonderful, caring Physician
I was worried about my visit because I have very high insulin resistance and use Humulin R 500 (concentrated) in my pump. We had relocated to Saginaw in November and it took awhile to be seen by any Dr. He was very happy with my numbers and put me immediately at ease. He talked to me like I was a person, not just an insurance payment.

Dr Variar is kind, compassionate, and is up to date on pertinent patient information and structures his plan of care around that, giving the patient options. Very respectful and seems genuinely concerned about me, the patient.
