Dr. Zakir's personality may not mesh with everyone's, but I consider him an efficient professional. I was seen on time and Dr. Zakir did all the preliminary vitals himself. We discussed my symptoms and prior treatments and devised a treatment plan. I will definitely consider going back again.

November 3, 2016Colby S.Verified patient
Very good doctor, a little too stern but then again it was only my first visit. His staff was very patient with me and have a good sense of humor. Will definitely be using him as my go to doctor from now on. The medication he called in has done wonders and it's only the first day.
June 15, 2016Cameron K.Verified patient
I Didn't like the way he looks at you when you tell him your symptons. If they don't make sense to him he starts basically looking at you stupid. Also his assistant basically acts likes she's a doctor but she's not.

Would recommend this site to anyone, so easy and stress free. And the doctor's visit was great as well. Hands down the smoothest new patient visit I've had,
May 5, 2016Elijah C.Verified patient
Staff is polite! Dr. Zakir is great with kids! We switched doctors because of insurance so this was their first visit with Dr. Zakir and my kids love him and how fast the service is. Our total time in the office for two children was about 30-45 minutes (including wait time). I've been places before that have a wait time of 30-45 minutes even with an appointment!

amazing doctor
January 27, 2016Nafisa S.Verified patient
Very nice man, office is small and never over crowded. We have never spent more than 30-40 total in the clinic and we have both our children seen at the same time. I don't feel rushed or overwhelmed with the process. I live in Spring Tx but I think the drive is well worth it.
November 24, 2015Krystiana R.Verified patient
Dr ZaKir was very professional.
November 25, 2015Duren A.Verified patient
Excellent Doctor! His office is very clean and his staff is extremely friendly. I was able to get in right away. He took his time to review my issues and asked several questions and I felt like we developed a treatment plan together. I have since made him my Primary Care Doctor and switch my mothers care to him as well. I have had to contact him on numerous occasions and his office is very quick to respond. I also like the fact the office has a portal and I can post message to the doctor and view my profile at his office. My mom was admitted to the hospital and he is very trusted by other professionals as they sang his praises. I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Zakir.
September 17, 2015Sherry M.Verified patient
Excellent visit. My son has been well assessed and looked after. Few days after the visit Dr. Ali Zakir even phoned and asked about my son if the swelling was getting better.
September 24, 2015Initials hidden
Excellent! He listens to the patient, their concerns and he is ready and willing to do the work. Dr. Zakir doesn't dismiss your concerns, he addresses them. This doctor doesn't disappoint.
June 24, 2015Christian W.Verified patient
Very personable, thorough and methodical in my visit with him. Told me things about my health other doctors the same week did not notice. When visiting, I saw only the doctor, no nurse or middle person, this made the visit very pleasant, and quick as well.

SUPER CLEAN OFFICE....BATHROOM, LOBBY, EXAM ROOM, AND EVEN THE FRONT DESK AREA.
Dr. Zakir is VERY kind, skilled, and has great beside manners. His staff was just as awesome. I can't imagine anyone visiting this doctor and not returning as a resident patient of his.
Side note: as a testament, our first visit with Dr. Zakir involved him needing to remove stitches from a womb on my 2 year old sons' forehead near the eye. My kid wanted no part of anyone touching is head so of course he screamed and a few people in France heard him I'm sure. But at the end of the visit, my 2 year old told Dr. Zakir goodbye and that he will see him next time. If my picky son doesn't like something or someone, he will have no dealings with you for any reason and won't think twice about it. (That's the beauty of infants/toddlers - expressions with no filter; candor at its finest.) My fiance' and I thoroughly enjoyed our visit and more importantly my 2 year old did too.
June 22, 2015Caiden J.Verified patient
The first visit was awesome he spent time talking to me throughly about both of my children. That made me really comfortable.. this time was the exact opposite I felt rushed and couldn't remember all of the things I wanted to discuss because of how the visit went....

Dr. Zakir was a breath of fresh air. After visiting several doctors in the area, he was the only that sat down and talked to me like i was a person and not a number. Very thorough and concerned. I have made him and my family's family doctor. What a blessing. Ruby p.

We are so grateful to have found Dr. Z. One of the most personable doctors I have ever met with such an engaging, attentive bedside manner. Takes his time, is extremely thorough. Wait time was very short.
February 16, 2015Robert A.Verified patient
We were politely received and form filling was quick. The doctor saw us and even was helpful in accomodating my wife's consultation after mine to save me waiting. He listened to us and answered our concerns professionally. We are happy with him and will definitely continue seeing him.

Dr. Ali was very informative concerning my diagnosis and medication, my past experience with my last Doctor wasn't a good one, she appeared to be detached throughout my visit with her. I just wanted to leave her office as soon as possible.
