Dr. Afzal is amazing! She has been there to support me for quite a few years now! I can't imagine seeing anyone else. She is always kind and caring. She understands my situation and history of trauma and always lets me know I am in control. I feel completely safe in her care! Thank you, Dr. Afzal.

I saw this provider because I had an urgent problem, and my regular provider's schedule was booked for the next month. I really appreciate being able to get an appointment within 24 hours of developing symptoms. This practice provides very good care, from the appointment desk, to the nurses, to the physician. My labs were quickly evaluated, and the doctor advised me of the results via portal within 24 hours. I can't say enough good things about my experience.
