he was good just felt pretty rushed which I understand but at times it felt as if he didn't have the time to listen to me completely before jumping in. I still appreciate the work he did and I understand you are a busy location! overall not a bad experience just could've been more patient :-).

[...] Dr Azar was down to earth and realistic in his assessment of my concern (shoulder and neck pain for about 10 days) and provide reasonable options for treatment. He referred to my medical record on line. I expect that with time, we could develop a good working relationship.

I was very pleased with the outcome of this visit. I was having problems for a very long time & was given bad advice from another doctor. He helped me a lot & I feel much better now.

This was my first time meeting with Dr. Azar [...] I was hoping Dr. Azar would've spent a few more minutes getting to know me or ask a few other questions about health history, etc. He's direct and efficient with his time; all "business". I will continue to request him; I have confidence in his skills as a physician. This is just some feedback I have, since you asked!

I explained my suspected UTI and/or recurring kidney stone symptoms. Dr. Azar's nurse ordered a urine test for me w/ all suspected conditions included in this test. Dr. Azar skillfully interpreted the test results for me and prescribed me the best choice of antibiotic to treat my condition. I like Dr. Azar's professional and direct manner. He treated me with respect and gave me the info. I needed.
