All Dr. Afzal did for me was to see me on four different occaisions, that lasted a combined total of 24 minutes, that,s right, 24 minutes. That,s 6 MINUTES each. He wrote prescriptions for me and would not respond when I called toadvise him that they did nit work. Do yourself a favor and see a different Dr.

Dr Afzal did not work for me at all. He was a poor listener. He did not answer my questions, and was too quick for my comfort ready to prescribe medicine. I found him remote and difficult to understand. I went elsewhere, wait 3 weeks for another doctor but it was worth it.

I have been seeing Dr. Afzal for just over 2 years now. He was the first doctor that helped me with my depression/anxiety. I tried so many different medications from my family dr and none of them controlled my problems. I was beginning to think that there was no help that was available to me. I saw Dr. Afzal and within the first 3 months, he got me on the correct medication and therapy that I felt like a new person. I would highly recommend Dr. Afzal to any friends or family.
