“Dr. Waqar was one of the best doctors I have ever seen. He was so nice and friendly immediately and took so much time to listen to me even though I felt like I rambled on for forever. He was patient, caring and helpful. He also made suggestions and HELPED me which sadly I feel is very rare nowadays from doctors. He even printed me research and took time explaining things to me. I’m thoroughly impressed with him and his staff. I really can’t recommend him enough. ”

After seeing a different doctor who kind of shrugged away my symptoms, Dr Waqar listened carefully and fully explained which tests he was ordering and what he was looking to rule out. It was a relief to feel heard after struggling with symptoms for the past month.
