A truly caring and compassionate physician. This is a rarity in these times when everyone is so rushed. I felt like my issues were adressed thoroughly and I am very pleased with the care that I have recieved.

It's rare to be totally happy with a provider whether it's a Doctor or an auto mechanic. Dr. Zafar is all I could hope for in a Primary Care Physician. He accomplishes all the usuals- knowledgable, polite, organized. What I love is his genuine concern and patience. I never feel rushed and I'm talked to as an equal. He's what I picture of a Doctor from the last century who makes housecalls.

Dr. Zafar is what a family practice physician should be. Professional, caring and not in a rush to shoo you out of the office. Your conditions and treatments carefully explained and he willingly answers questions. Good all around doc for routine family care.

My overall experience with Dr. Z has been outstanding!! He has been my primary care physician for the past 6 or 7 years and has ALWAYS been very cognizant, caring and diligent in his examination and treatment of me. I have recommended him to friends and family. At this point, I plan to have Dr.Z remain my primary care physician for years to come! I also follow-up regularly with my insurance company to ensure that they process his claims accurately and expeditiously!! A very satisfied patient!

I was never rushed - encouraged to discuss anything that concerned me and was given great advice. Proper tests were ordered for my chronic condition and follow-up was both personal and fast. If I could give this physician more than 5 stars I would.
