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.

Thorough and reassuring.
Dr Guffar took time to review my history, meds, labs, and asked many questions. He is very personable, relatable, and explains things clearly. I am very happy with his care, and confident that he isn’t missing anything.

Caring and thorough
Dr. Gaffar spent extra time answering all our question and went through other parts of our health history that weren't connected to our inquiry. He even called us back the next day to inform us of the labs that were taken on our visit to assure us that the numbers were not of any great concern.

Positive and Caring Vidit
Dr Gaffar is very pleasant and was very thorough. He spent enough time and I didn’t feel rushed. The practice is extremely efficient. There were 25 people in the waiting room and the staff kept everyone moving to their next station. It almost appeared to be choreographed, it was so organized!

Dr Gaffar is and incredible doctor and has the greatest bedside personality you could ask for. He is concerned with your overall well being and not just the problem you are visiting him for. He takes time to listen and he makes sure he understands all your issues and questions about medications. I would definitely recommend Dr Gaffar to anyone.

Wonderful
Although I did have to wait a lengthy amount of time past my appointment time, I understood once I met the doctor why. He clearly cares about getting to know his patients and takes a great deal of time doing so during his appointments. I felt cared for, and I felt a sincere desire to connect. no feeling of being rushed. Very personable, but also very knowledgeable. I left there feeling very confident that I had the information I needed to make my decisions about further care.
