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.

Incapable, Oblivious, Uncaring
I’m writing this review on behalf of someone very dear to me. Dr. Ghaffar has repeatedly failed to properly treat his kidney disease for months now. She’s completely overlooked his other conditions that effect his renal health, she’s put him on medications that have actively worsened his condition, and now the cherry on top is her dropping him for noncompliance. That noncompliance you ask? His potassium levels spiked for ONE DAY (which leveled out within almost 24 hours) and when he said he couldn’t immediately see her due to lack of transportation, she dropped him. I try to remain cordial and couth in my review of this medical “professional”, but frankly I wouldn’t even recommend her for veterinary care. Protect your family and yourself, find a more compassionate nephrologist who cares about your healing and comfortability.
