Doctor Waqar was very kind, thorough, and helpful. Although he could not address the main issue we came in with as it was more immunology-than-allergy-related, he genuinely wanted to help however he could. He listened to our concerns, didn’t make us feel rushed or foolish for coming to him with questions outside of his immediate domain of practice, and referred us on to a colleague for future immunology-related concerns. We really appreciated him taking the time to sit with us and listen even if he wasn’t able to input too much on the issue at hand.

Great bedside manner, detailed questioning, offered different options.
December 21, 2021Samantha P.Verified patient
He seems like a good doctor but my visit was inconclusive. I still have the same issues and I still have no idea why.
I need a doctor who is adamant about finding out what’s wrong instead of being so quick to administer medication for something that they can not explain.
My issue isn’t just with him, I wish more doctors were passionate.

Dr. Waqar and his staff were incredible! They were very efficient and answered all my questions. The office space is brand new and doesn't even look like a doctor's office.

Dr Waqar was very nice and listened to all my concerns. He was attentive and explained my condition and possible treatment plans with me thoroughly. I did not feel rushed at all and am looking forward to working with him for my allergy needs. Also Janine was my nurse and she was great as well. I usually have most nurses struggle with drawing blood but she got it in one shot and no pain. Highly recommend!
