I was very impressed with Dr. Azar when I saw him for a broken bone in my hand. He took time to listen to me as a patient and put me at ease immediately. His diagnosis was direct and he made sure I could understand it. In other words, he doesn't talk above you or try to push a treatment that's unnecessary. I think he's an excellent doctor because he obviously cares about his patients and their well-being.
