Good doctor and staff. She is always available for my appointments and is pretty prompt. I do expect the doctor to be busy so I allow myself some extra time. I do not find that they overbook.

December 13, 2018Adolph L.Verified patient
She does not care about taking any time to check you out and ask you all the right questions but rather taking less than 5 minutes to shake your hand make a couple of questions and disappear. Don’t go for general check out, it is better to stay home they will tell you don’t eat salt is bad for your blood pressure and regular stuff that my 5 year son already knows. They don’t take any other measurement but blood pressure and weight. That is iiitttt. Until 50 she will not do any other test or blood test because you are not high risk.... I guess until it is too late or you die because they dont care to diagnostic you.

I've been seeing Dr. Qamar for a couple years now, she's always happy and positive and has a through treatment plan for whatever my issue is.
May 29, 2018David C.Verified patient
I had a bit of trouble finding a doctor to assist me with some issues I had. So I thought I would give Dr. Qamar a try. Immediately upon walking into the door you are met with a smile and a friendly hello. For me this immediately made me feel welcome. Both nurses working on site are amazing. I do have to warn you though, the smiles and good encounters are highly contagious. Even when your feeling down they bring you back up. Dr. Qamar is no exception. She is very polite and understanding. Any questions you may have she will listen and answer them. She has helped me understand the importance of maintaining a healthy blood pressure and healthy heart. I honestly don’t know how I’m able to book appointments with them. They are amazing ??. I would highly recommend to anyone.

I went in for a physical and weight loss consultation. This doctor walked in and in under 3 minutes dismissed me, never touched me and did not even ask if I had any questions. With a surprised look on my face, I told her that I had questions. She did no research and dismissed everything quickly. My insurance was charged for a "physical" that never happened. I was highly disappointed.

I love Dr Qamar, she and her staff are very professional and kind. She makes sure that if you have a problem that she exhaust every measure to get to the root of it and develop and course of action
December 12, 2016Walter J.Verified patient
She seems like she's always overbooked. As a new patient, I would think she would take her time with me, walk me through things. Instead she rushed right through my appointment, I don't even know if the amount of time she took to check on me was enough to actually make sure everything was alright.

Very disappointed; I have worked in the healthcare field for more than 10 years. The physician prescribed 5 medications, ordered labs and CT before even completing an exam on my child. The exam was maybe 30 seconds. She gave no indication of what could be wrong. Told me to follow up in 2-3 weeks and if worse go to ED. My child was in severe pain, received no answers; it was a complete waste of my time. We will NOT ever go back.
The physician never made eye contact; only typed in her laptop everything I said.

Don't waste your time seeing this so called doctor. Her staff are horrible and the doctor was sarcastic, rude and very unprofessional.

Won't be back. The front desk ladies were very unprofessional. Even though the visit was supposed to be free because of my insurance, and since we previously discussed this, they were talking about how they should just charge me anyway. This was a 15 minute conversation that they had with the window closed. I could still hear everything. It wasn't a pleasant experience at alll.

I came in to discuss depression and possible medication, and in the process:
-It was insinuated that I might be a junky because of the medicine I requested which had worked for me in the past and which I had not used in the last 6 months
-Medicine was prescribed with side-effects I specifically asked to avoid (high drowsiness)
-The doctor told me my BMI was over 30 and that I was obese (it was miscalculated by 3 points high). This in the context of a meeting where the patient is telling the doctor they are seriously depressed, then to be told I was seriously obese (when redoing the calculation proved I was overweight, a much less serious/less depressing condition) seemed pretty tone-deaf.
