      Dr. Safdar may be the best internist I have ever seen, and I am middle aged. He was fantastic - empathetic, intelligent, great listener and very efficient, while spending the time needed to get to know me as a brand new patient. I am thrilled that he's my doctor and I will recommend him to anyone/everyone.

      I think you mean Dr. Zakir? I answered the preceding questions for Dr. Zakir. He was warm and convivial, attentive and professional all the way through. I was pleasantly surprised. I felt truly cared for, that he cared.

      Dr. Safdar has been my PCP for several years, and has helped me through various illnesses and symptoms. After every visit, I am reminded of how lucky I am to be in his care -- he listens, he is knowledgeable, and it is clear he wants to provide the best solutions for what I am experiencing.
