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.

I have been seeing Dr. Nazar for knee problems. He was knowledgeable and very patient explaining everything I needed to know about having knee surgery. Although Dr. Nazar doesn't do surgery anymore, he took the time to explain everything I can expected and referred me to a very qualified surgeon who would have been my first choice. Dr. Nazar was very thorough telling me everything and asked me to contact him with any questions in the future and to keep him up to date. He made me feel extremely good about my decision to move forward with surgery to have both knees replaced. I am so grateful to have Dr. Nazar for taking the time to really explain everything. I didn't feel like I was just a number, rather felt Dr. Nazar truly has a genuine interest in me as a person.

Dr. Lazar is a very competent surgeon and explanes all of his procedures to you. He did the hip replacement in 5 weeks after seeing me the first time. I'm a Viet Nam vet and was not able to get an appointment at their hospital. GREAT DOCTOR.
