if you have chronic pain, Dr. R is a decent doctor to reach out too. however, his coworkers were incredibly rude and lazy. the nurse who checked me in complained about having to type in 20+ drugs into my chart. also, the Xray tech made a point to try and convert my to Christianity.

knowledgeable, friendly
Just a check up

Dr Rizvi was very courteous, he listened to what I told him regarding my medical history and his feedback was so positive. I like that he took his time evaluating me, he was very thorough.
Verified patient
Attentive, methodical, caring doctor.
There was no communication between the Dr. and patient. He asked questions and didn't explain why he was asking them as well as the exam. He ordered Xray's and I had to ask why they were needed. He typed information from my primary care Dr. into their system while I was sitting there for my appointment. Total waste of time.
Since it was my very first visit, I that Dr. Rizvi was very thorough and professional. He seemed to take the time to go over every detail regarding my health and wellness.
1st visit. I think it was very informative. His nurse and him listened to my concerns. Let me know what my diagnosis was and what was to take place that day and in the future. I thought he was really funny. I think that he was very patience and listen to my problems. I would recommend him.
