"I have been going to Dr Zaheer since May 2007 for breast cancer. He is the NICEST Dr I ever had. He takes time to hear your questions and concerns and thinks about them before he answers."
— Vitals review for Dr. Wajih Kidwai"The office is overcrowded and the wait times are extremely long, with little consideration given for the state of the patient... The doctor is extremely knowledgeable but spends very little time with patients- is always rushed."
— Vitals review for Dr. Wajih Kidwai"Very rude and unprofessional doesn’t deserve any stars.. wouldn’t explain treatment plan, tells me I’ll die in 6 months if I don’t do as she says... leaving her patients in the dark, terrible to deal with on top of cancer"
