I have been going to Dr. Arif for a couple of years. I find that Dr. Arif is compassionate and listens to my concerns. She is always looking to help me with any issues I might have. Her staff is wonderful and have always treated me with respect and caring. I really never have to wait long and if I have it tells me that she is spending time with a patient that might have problems. The same treatment as I have received when I have seen her. Always takes time and I do not feel rushed. I would recommend her to anyone that might ask me for a Gastro doctor.

I have always had great success with Dr Arif. I find she listens, is gentle, knowledgeable and thorough. ALL Dr’s Appointments are short and you wished they were longer, but if you got right to the POINT when you see the Dr, you will have more time to discuss.

Honestly, I would not recommend Dr. Arif to anyone. She spends very little time with patients and minimizes their concerns. She takes her sweet time renewing important prescriptions (I have gone DAYS without medications that she swore she would call into the pharmacy 'immediately'). I will be leave this practice before my next appointment.
