Patient Reviews
Sep 13, 2024
I was admitted to the emergency dept and I was fortunate to have Dr. Zafar perform life saving surgery on me. I wouldn’t be here now but for him and the team he led that day. He is very modest though, about his role, and attributes survival to one’s own body’s ability to heal. It was his skill that saved me, no doubt in my mind about that! My surgery was quite a challenge. He also took care of me on a weekly basis after my three week hospital stay, with wound care and recovery from what was a very difficult surgery (for me). I would recommend him as a Colo-rectal specialist and surgeon to anyone I can, and definitely to those close to me. His office staff are also all nice, professional, and return calls when required.
