Doctor spent a total of 5 minutes with me, did not answer any question seemed not concerned . Was in a hurry I was very disappointed. left with no answers was given a referral I'm in the process of finder a new provider. Felt like I wasted my time even going there. We all have bad days a little bit of courtesy would of been appreciated

I am frustrated with the slow progress of getting better. I feel that I should be improving faster. I feel there should be quicker solutions to getting better (double ear infection). I am concerned that I have not been able to hear for over a week - I do not want permanent damage and am hopeful that wont' be the case.

He came in the room chewing gum, very unprofessional. He was not polite or personable.

This was my first personal visit with Dr. Azar, though I have met him before as my son sees him. He is wonderful, and for what we have needed, the perfect combination of listening to concerns along with efficiency in terms of time.

[...] I needed a new primary care physician and met with Dr. Azar for the first time. He was knowledgeable about my medical topics and concerns and was very clear and concise about his recommendations.

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 :-).
