Patient Reviews
Jun 19, 2019
Dr. Safdar was the 5th doctor I had been sent to in order to try and figure out what was going on with me. Out of 5 doctors and 4 ER visit he was the only one who took responsibility of me and my health. I saw him on Tuesday I was admitted into the hospital before the week was up. He saved my life. If I had gone to the weekend I would have died. After i was discharged he called me at home during the week to check on me. He went to great lengths to help me.
