Straightforward, very personable man. My knee surgery went very well and I believe it’s because of the skill level, expertise, and knowledge Dr Azar possesses. I can and will absolutely endorse him for knee surgery to any and all.
Dr. Azar is an amazing doctor. He cares about his patience. He is very knowledgeable with you. Explains everything and treats you with the utmost respect thank you so much for his wonderful work and his wonderful bedside manners.
Dr Azar took the time to understand the history of my knee issues and how they related to my recent MRI. He offered sound advice to focus on the area of pain through a series of shots and PT. Easy to talk to and takes the time to explain the physical issues and symptoms.
Dr. Azar is fabulous. He takes his time, explains everything, tells me all the options and answers questions. I couldn't be more pleased.
Kind, nice bedside manner. Respectful
He’s a very good doctor and his bed side manor is extremely good
Top notch, super nice to my adult special needs child (38 y/o), right away put her mind at ease about no surgery needed and more than likely post traumatic arthritis.
Dr Azar is so caring and friendly. He explained my problem in depth to me and took time for my questions.
Dr. Azar is a wonderful, caring doctor.
Awesome........ He's easy to talk to & very informative.
