I like this clinic. However I was disappointed that even after making an appointment for a specific time I was still in the waiting room with some very sick people for longer than I expected.
Dr. Dar was available on a Sunday! That's something I want to share with everyone. I was highly impressed by the respectful and informed manner in which he addressed my concerns. Some doctors have a very condescending attitude towards their patients. It was refreshing to be treated like patients should be treated: with patience and reassurance. And without the assumption that patients suffer from lack of knowledge. I highly recommend Dr. Dar.

Dr. Dar has quickly and thoroughly helped me with 3 unfortunate incidents with both cat bites and scratches. Had it not been for him I would have had severe issues with infection. I am thankful that his office was open and that he was available!!

Original morning appointment got cancelled because the office's systems didn't sync up with ZocDoc's scheduling system so there was a bit of confusion for me there, and I had to wait until 2 hours later to see the doctor. At some point there was supposed to be an assistant in the morning office, which I think would've been helpful for me, but I do recommend giving the office a call before visiting to confirm your appointment just in case. Other than that the doctor saw me as soon as he could and was able to efficiently diagnose my issue and send me right over to the neighboring CVS pharmacy for medicine. He was a kind person, and the lady at the front desk was patient, especially considering that I probably wasn't in the easiest mood to deal with that morning. The facility is a bit dated, but I didn't feel like it took away from my experience, and glad I waited to see this doctor.

The doctor was amazing but it's a walk-in clinic that doesn't check ZocDoc. It was great for a quick trip to get a Z pack for my strep throat but won't be using as my primary Doctor
holy christ it took a long time. I got what I needed done, but don't expect to go during lunch and be in and out in under an hour
not sure if this is a ZocDoc problem or problem with the doctor's office but I filled all forms online in advance and when I got there, they still required me to fill out all the forms I already filled out online.
Was not there

Dr. Dar was great. I was seen quickly and he took adequate time to understand the issues I was having. He then took time to look at and provided diagnosis and advice to each issue. I felt like he was really taking the time to understand my issues and really cared about the end result. I would definetely go back to see Dr. Dar and would recommend him in the future.
He is a good doctor!
Excellent experience. Dr. Dar is a very knowledgeable nephrologist and I felt comfortable asking all of the questions I needed to. Even though they were short staffed, the front desk attendant was very friendly and accommodating.

He is horrible and his staff is even worse. I went in for blood work to determine the creatine levels in my kidneys. This was Wednesday (June 25th). I still have yet to hear the results of the bloodwork. The worst, is that his office has my results and they have yet to share them. I called there on Thursday and the nurse mentioned that they were in and he would call me back in 20 minutes. I called an hour later, and they said he was busy and that he'd call me back in "ten minutes". He never did. I finally called them on Friday and he wasn't in and his office refused to try to get ahold of him. Also, when I was in the office I asked the nurse to check my blood pressure and it was high. I asked to speak to him, and she comes back and says he is busy (I was the ONLY person in the office), and to "keep taking my medication." I am not on any medication. I asked to speak to him, the nurse pouted and went back to drag him out of his office and he says, to come back next week and to reduce salt. That's really helpful. I still do not have my blood work results as of Monday (6/30) afternoon. Horrible. I'm finding a new doctor who is thorough and never going back there.
