Totally unwilling to work with patients' scheduling limitations. Almost impossible to get a scheduled prescription if you can't come by the office during office hours. Can't remember patient plans that are in writing, and ignorant about new medication laws and technology.

I'VE HAD DR. AHARI FOR THE PAST 3 YEARS ALMOST 4 AND I WONDER HOW HE IS ABLE TO SIT AND EXPLAIN IN DETAIL TO ALL HIS PATIENTS AS HE DOES ME. HIS BEDSIDE MANNER IS TO BE COPIED AND GIVEN TO ALOT OF DOCTORS. I WAS HOPSITALIZED ONCE AND ALTHOUGH ONE OF HIS COLLEGEUES TREATED ME HE DID NOT TELL DR. AHARI WAS IN THE HOSPITAL, HE WAS NOT HAPPY. THE NEXT TIME I WAS HOSPITALIZED THROUGH ER, HE MADE A POINT TO VISIT ME EVERY MORNING BEFORE GOING TO HOSPITAL. THIS WAS AT GW HE FOLLOWED MY CASE THROUGH THE STAY AND, AS HIS PATIENT STILL DOES, I RESPECT AND ADMIRE DR AHARI, I THINK WE HAVE A GREAT RELATIONSHIP. IT IS NOW TIME TO BE HONEST WITH HIM, FOR I HAVE NOT DONE ALL THAT HE HAS INSTRUCTED.

Dr. Ahari is truly outstanding in spending time with patients and helping them understand their problems. Excellent "bedside manner." Unfortunately this probably causes the delays you'll experience in the waiting room. But its worth it for a top notch sleep specialist.
