Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

The doctor was well informed about my case by reading my chart prior to the appointment

I cannot say enough good things about the level of care that I received from Dr. Safar!! He spent so much time hearing my health history and trying to figure out what might be going on with my symptoms. He ordered a bunch of tests and offered up many potential diagnoses and possible solutions based on what the lab and imaging results find. He was so easy to talk to, and we could tell that he is so knowledgeable in his field. The care and attention he gave us at my appointment yesterday was extraordinary!! I highly recommend Dr. Safar!! My wife has already told numerous of her friends that if they ever need a nephrologist, they need to see Dr. Safar. My appointment was only yesterday, and she's already telling people about the wonderful care I received from Dr. Safar!!
