Dr. Safarov listens,take the time to answer. I had a list of questions and he answered everyone he knew the answer to. Some were insurance related, so he didn’t have the answer.

Dr. Safarov is the best. He takes time to evaluate and explain his findings but he also takes time to listen to any concerns and help in anyway. I would highly recommend him and I could not ask for anything more from him.

Dr Safarov is an outstanding orthopedic surgeon. He took the time to advise me of possibilities to address a knee issue, performed the surgery, and was clear on what it would take to recover fully. He answered all of my pre and post op questions and I feel confident in my recovery after OATS procedure on my knee.

First time here and he was great. Nothing against him but we did wait about an hour from my appointment time. I’m just glad we weren’t in a rush.
