October 9, 2017Candace M.Verified patient
Visit started out well, office staff was friendly and even apologized for the wait. I went in for a consultation due to a concern I had and at first Dr. Asgar seemed as if she was listening and said she would help get me answers. However as the appointment went on, I felt that her comments were more preachy and condescending, less helpful and I left feeling worse about myself. I do not think I want to return.

For the first time after seeing various Dr's for PCOS I found a Dr who explained everything and gave me a plan and how we would work through to determine the best plan of action. She listened to all my concerns and questions. I'm so glad I found her !
September 12, 2017Nathalie S.Verified patient
This was my first appointment. I felt Dr. Asghar was very kind, pleasant, and was there to help me. She was very thorough in talking about my history and current symptoms. I have had a recent history of rare symptoms with numerous tests and doctor visits. Sometimes you feel like the provider is listening and advocating, other times not so much. Dr. Asghar listened and made me feel like she would do what she could within her specialty to help me find answers. It didn't go unnoticed. The staff were pleasant and very apologetic that I had to wait, checking in on me twice in the waiting room.
August 29, 2017Jennifer D.Verified patient
Dr. Asghar was very kind, engaging, and thorough. She listened to my issues, asked more questions to fully understand my case, then laid out a plan of action to learn more. I did not feel rushed in the least and I left truly believing that she wants to help me.
Additionally, the entire office staff was the perfect blend of professional and friendly when checking me in, getting my stats, and providing follow up instructions.
August 11, 2017Jennifer A.Verified patient
She's great. She takes the time to listen to your problems and shows a real interest. She's caring and concerned for your health...not trying to rush between patients. She's exactly what you want in a doctor
