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.

Because of my faith and trust in this doctor, I became an addict which is something I'll live with for the rest of my life. I was overprescribed two different highly addictive medications from Dr. Qamar for years, and I took them as I was directed. As a result of the negligent actions of this doctor along with the liberal manner in which he wrote prescriptions, I became physically and mentally dependent on both meds that I'd been prescribed. When I realized the severity of my dependency, of course I was not offered a solution. Further, I was never informed of the risk of abuse for either medication prior to being prescribed. Proceed with caution; your life matters, just not to this doctor.

Well during the whole time of their office to do phone appointments due to covid for over a year I never heard from them note they billed my insurance that they had phone appointments with me which they had not. So without hearing from them the past year and needing adjustments to my medication due to a medical problem my health was declining which resulted in me having to go to cardiology to get it figured out that I was being overdosed on the medication I was on.

Terrible. Do not see this doctor. He sent two wrong prescriptions to the pharmacy- both could have been dangerous had I no prior knowledge of the medications. The pharmacist identified the mistake. The fact that 2/2 of the medications were incorrect (and both mistakes could have been dangerous if I trusted him and took them) makes me hesitant to trust this office.

I never had a problem with Dr.Qamar. I've seen two psychiatrists before I came to American Family Psychiatry, and I never got relief or proper care. He listens and cares. I never had him yell at me. He works very hard and very long hours. His staff is very helpful and returns my phone calls as soon as possible and answers all my questions as quickly as possible as well.

Simply put, this man should seriously not have a license. The best (and only job) for Dr. Qamar would be in an office cubicle interacting with absolutely no one with zero responsibility over another person's necessary medications. This office is an absolute disgrace.

Inconsiderate to patients, rude, slow, and completely unhelpful in managing medications. I will wait in the waiting room for around a half hour each time, but then spend less than 3 minutes with Dr. Qamar. He double checks to make sure he has the right medications and pharmacy listed for you and then hits send. He kept prescribing me a medication that I had overdosed on even after speaking with the doctor that dealt with my overdose and constant reminders from me to stop prescribing those medications. Dr. Qamar has no care, concern, or consideration for his patients. This office is simply a vehicle for getting people their medications--a dangerous responsibility to treat so carelessly. They aren't flexible nor do they prioritize patient needs. There have been times where I have made it clear to Dr. Qamar and others that I absolutely need immediate access to my medication--each time they have made it difficult for me. Medication and treatment is a right--one Dr. Qamar hardly recognizes

To the comment above, he has raised his voice to me once during the 5 years he had treated me. He is still my psychiatrist and at first I just wanted to leave. But I realized that he just cared for my well-being and oversees not only is private practice in 2 locations, but Pennhighland's Hospital Inpatient Unit. I would even hear him on the phone talking rather loud towards other doctors and colleagues. I think it is funny because he is doing his job. Maybe being from Pakistan has something to do with it? Like that is just how he talks, and they may have those tempers. Who cares? If he was a problem, he would not have his practice. Believe that. He is a good psychiatrist so don't listen to one silly comment about a tantrum, especially if your not his patient.

Had 1 conversion with this doctor as a fellow professional and he went into a temper tantrum and started yelling uncontrollably. I expect more from a psychiatric doctor than this unprofessional, childish behavior.
