  • Very pleased and satisfied for the professionalism of the team
    My experience with Doctor Afshar is excellent. He always care about my health.
    This was my initial visit with this Doctor Who is going to be my primary. I found him to be very forthcoming. We had a good back-and-forth discussion.
    Kind and patient doctor. Supporting staff was also kind and responsive. I came in for painful coughing and sickness that had been occurring for about 4 weeks. Chest was checked outside of clothes and throat was checked upon request. Ears were not checked. Diagnosis was viral infection. 2 days later still feeling unwell I went to urgent care. Urgent care did a 15 pathogen panel and confirmed I had a bacterial infection. Urgent care also looked in my ears and saw fluid. Urgent care also did a lung check and determined that my lungs were not clear - they were junky indicating inflammation or bronchitis. Urgent care put me on antibiotics and I started to feel better. At my appointment, I would have appreciated a referral to get the 15 pathogen panel test to get an accurate diagnosis and faster resolution.
    I just had my first visit with Dr Afshar I was very pleased with him
