I had a bad allergy and the staff arranged with the doctor to have me come in immediately. They were so understanding & my doctor was very informative and caring.

This was my first visit. Staff was friendly and helpful. Dr Waqar was also very friendly and took the time to listened to all my concerns. He told me what treatment options I had. He prescribed new medications and explained the possible effects. I left there feeling very confident in his advice.
