Dr Alsafwa has been my Cardiologist now for several years and is the best Dr I have seen. He explains in a way that you can understand without talking at you, I would recommend him to anyone!!!

I am an RN, we are notoriously picky about out doctors. Dr Alsafwah is very knowledgeable, spends a lot of time answering questions and never seems rushed to get through the visit. I have recommended him to my friends and family.

Seems to have no time for patient and didn't listen to any questions and left so fast that i had to express my concerns with the assistant.

Dr. Alsafwah has been my cardiologist for over a year. He will be leaving the AZ area for personal reason.His patient and bedside manners in the hospital is excellant. He takes the time and explains everything and repeatdly asks if you have more questions.His patient care in the office is excellant also. He takes time to listen and his diagnosis is always right on.I don't know If I can replace him, but am hoping that in time maybe he will return and I can get him to be my doctor again.He had to put two stents in me and told me what I needed to do to avoid further issues and he reduced my blood pressure almost 20 points on the top number.
