Oct 04, 2024
Dr. Safdar has been my gastroenterologist for over 10 years. From the very first appointment, he demonstrated incredible empathy and professionalism in addressing my complex medical conditions. His precise diagnosis of my small intestine Crohn’s disease has significantly changed the treatment and management of Crohn’s disease for the better. Dr. Safdar not only possesses vast knowledge in his field but also has an exceptional ability to explain complex medical terms in a comprehensible and accessible manner. He always took the time to answer all my questions and concerns, which provided me with great peace of mind and confidence in my treatment. Throughout the entire process, Dr. Safdar has shown unwavering commitment to my well-being, adjusting my treatment plan according to my needs and always ensures that I received the best possible care.
