"Seriously the most friendly Doctor out there... Not only is he an intelligent Doctor he genuinely cares about his clients. He will spend as much time with you and let you ask as many questions as you want. However, some of the staff there aren't the friendliest."
- Healthgrades (Dr. Safwat Iskander)"This is possibly the worst experience I have ever had with a pediatrician... Not once did any of the staff introduce themselves. Not once did the nurses or doctor ask about my daughter or why we were there."
- Healthgrades (Zaheer Pediatric Associates)"I was rushed in and out each time and I wait for at least 30 minutes each visit sitting in the patient room... We do not feel cared for or taken care of by any of the staff or the doctor."
