tldr - Dr. Ashraf was an 1hr 10 min late, did not apologize - Dr. Ashraf and her staff did not tell me all info required to make this a productive appointment When I described my cold, congestion, and ear problem to the staff, they said that regardless of whether or not I came to their office, the appointment would have to be virtual. With that information, I took the appointment from home. I arrived in the zoom room on time, Dr. Ashraf's staff kept delaying for an 1 hr and 10 min. When we both got on the call, Dr. Ashraf said that if I drove to the appointment, she could have quickly checked my ear to see if there was an infection. I told her that the staff informed me that the appt would have to be virtual regardless. She said that they generally make the appt virtual, but she can "tweak these things" if necessary. This was not communicated to me as an option, even though I made it clear before the appointment that I had trouble hearing from one side.

Incredibly friendly, informative and proactive doctor. Listened to all of my questions and concerns and suggested tangible next steps.
Verified patient
Dr. Ashraf was very respectful and extremely thorough. This was only my first visit but I felt comfortable with her and confident in her recommendations. I look forward to working with her and her staff again in the future.
Verified patient
Horrible bedside manner I have never been treated so rudely by a doctor. Also, the medical assistant had me get fully undressed and told me I should get a Pap smear. The doctor came in and had no clue why I was fully undressed and said I didn’t need one. ?? you couldn’t pay me to return to this doctor’s office
Dr. Ashraf's main concern is to maximize her billings. No questions or concerns about underlying conditions, only pushing to prescribe add-ons/referrals.
I had a great experience during my visit! The doctor was kind, attentive, and made me feel completely comfortable. She listened carefully to all my concerns and answered every question I had with patience and clarity. I truly felt heard and cared for. Highly recommend!
Very nice doctor
She is a very good listener and she cares about her patients. She recommends the best treatment and medication. My overall experience with her is great.
Verified patient
Doctor is friendly, and polite.
Despite ZocDoc verification, I was informed 5 times this doctor does not accept Medicare Part A, 4 times via phone the day before, the last time during my scheduled appointment time. My appointment time was changed, then corrected. Each time I provided a ZocDoc photo verifying (ZocDoc) coverage they agreed to see me. The next person would contact me that they don’t accept it. On appt day, the same sequence happened. All paperwork completed, I was partially clothed in the exam room: I was presented with an additional document titled “Consent to Treat” with unfamiliar wording and different format from other documents that “had to be signed to be seen by the doctor.” There was no header, or professional appearance. I declined, was refused to be seen. Disappointed, but was also relieved to leave. In healthcare for decades, retired from the industry, have never experienced anything this disturbing in an office setting.

The office staff was great and friendly. My doctor was very sweet as well. She was very thorough and interested in my wellbeing.
Verified patient
She was an amazing doctor, paid attention to detail and made me feel super comfortable. The best doctor I've seen in a very long time.
I have had a difficult time with doctors in the past, but Dr. Fariha absolutely blew me away. I felt so supported and comfortable around her, and she made sure to be timely and help me as much as she could. It was clear she's incredibly knowledgeable when it comes to medicine, and I'm very happy with how my visit went.
I'm really happy with the care that I received. Dr. Ashraf was able to diagnose my condition and recommend the best treatment, and I am now feeling much better. Thank you, Dr. Ashraf!
