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.

I felt that Dr. Azar is unfriendly and leaves people in pain. If you have broke bone and another place where you chipped the bone off then yes you need something for the pain! And I told my son I was sorry but he would just have to live with the pain. The doctor said No Sorry! How are you telling me what i can say to my son.

Today was my first visit w/ Dr. Azar. He was very thorough and took time to explain things to me. I've never had a more caring doctor who actually took time to make sure I understood my diagnosis and treatment plan. He is the best doctor I've seen!

Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Azar?
I went to this practice 3 times & never saw actual Doctor only PA. Would of had to go a 4th time before seeing Dr. Azar to schedule the actual surgery, had not even seen him after the MRI was told by PA that surgery was needed.
Too many delay tactics after I got steroid shot was told to wait a month to see if it was going to get better on it's own. Terrible practice!

Dr. Azar is an excellent surgeon. PA Jonathon Adams is the absolute best PA ever! I love seeing him as much as Dr. Azar. They both listen well and tell you/give you treatment needed. Jonathan always has a kind and helpful and sympathetic demeanor while being professional. Dr. Azar can have off days with his bedside manner but not Jonathan.
I am absolutely satisfied with their care and treatment - from checkups, to shots, to surgery, to post op follow up. I highly recommend them!

He was very kind and considerate of my daughter and for me as a parent! My 9 yr old broke both radius & ulna and needed surgery after he tried to set it twice in the ER. Dr. Azar was very easy to talk to and understand when he explained everything. I was so impressed with his bedside manner.

Dr. Azar displayed a passion for his work that translates into great care. I felt like he was excited to put my knee back together after I suffered several breaks from a fall. I wish all my doctors were this optimistic and caring.
