I was greeted immediately upon walking in! The receptionist was very nice. The nurses were very compassionate and explained everything very well. I really liked the doctor! She made me feel totally at ease. Very easy to talk to, explained everything in great detail! I scheduled another appointment!

Verified patient
I think it was excellent mean the Dr. was ok the High Dro.
Unfortunately my experience was not good and I will not be returning. Office staff and nurse were fine but the doctor I saw was very judgemental. Came in for an ankle/knee issue, never had met this doctor before and within 10 minutes of sitting with me stated I should consider weight loss surgery. Didn’t take my history, or check any of my levels just judged by appearance. Then had the nerve to ask if I was coming back to be a new patient of hers, steer clear.

Doctor was good, thorough and informative but the office needs to get it together. They called me 3 times and it was evident they didn't communicate with each other. They all told me different things about my appointment and made me feel like i was the one that "forgot" or wasn't prepared. The doctor said someone would call me back with referral info for a specialist but no one did. I know things are hectic nowadays so I'll give some grace on todays appointment but I did not have the best first impression.
Verified patient
Meh, I was not impressed.
Verified patient
Not as caring and nice as the other reviews said she was and why i picked her....So i dont think i will be going back to this doctor.
She's very smart, knows what she's talking about, and very intimate w. Her patients. The office is clean, comfortable, and hospitable.
Verified patient
She was very pleasant and straight forward.
In general I did not like the visit, when they called I said I haven;t been to a primary care doctor in year like 10+ and I told them them I wanted a complete work up and they said okay. When I got there they did nothing because they said I needed to have an empty stomach for test which they never informed me. I also thought she criticized my diet plan way to harshly for not knowing the plan and for our first meet. She literally only talked to me so I paid a copay and nothing was done that I let them know in advance about.
Verified patient
I was very pleased with the ease as to which I could talk to Dr. Najam. I left the office with more information from my one visit than from 10 years at my previous doctor. I received a follow-up phone call the next day. I feel like I am finally on my way to becoming healthy!
Verified patient
Very attentive and caring staff & extremely caring Doctor. So far every interaction has been pleasant & I find Dr. Najam to be assertive and diligent. I am happy to have her on my healthcare team.
