Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Dr. Hakim in Torrington, CT
I don’t usually write about my doctor’s visits but when I had the good fortune to get an appointment with Dr Hakim I now must write about all the positives I experienced. I am on summer vacation and my knee was getting very painful. I called Dr Hakim’s office and they arranged an appointment to see her that very same day. Dr Hakim listened carefully about what my symptoms were and understood what I needed to get me back on the path of healing. Dr. Hakim has so much empathy and patience I was very grateful. She also asked me to stay in touch to make sure I let her know how well I was doing. Her expertise was very reassuring and I am hopeful that I will be back on the tennis courts soon thanks to this wonderful doctor and her terrific staff. Sent from my iPhone

On 11/21/21 I fell and dislocated my ankle with 2 fractures. I called Dr. Hakim's office the next day and got an appointment for that day. Dr. Hakim performed surgery to repair the damage. Her staff called me the next day to see how I was doing. I followed Dr. Hakim's post op instructions which allowed me to go back to work sooner than anticipated. I am very satisfied the care I received from Dr. Hakim and her staff. They made sure I received the proper care before and after the surgery. I felt my office visits were exceptional and thorough including Xrays and exercise instructions to improve my mobility. I would highly recommend Dr. Hakim and her staff for any orthopedic needs as you will be well taken care of.

A friend recommended Dr Hakim-Zargar and I was very impressed with her listening to my concerns and she took the time to explain every detail regarding my care and helped me to read the x-rays so that I could understand exactly what my issues were. I never felt like she was trying to rush me out of her office because I was taking up too much of her time. I would definitely recommend Dr. Hakim

I was referred to Dr. Hakim-Zargar by my physician and was extremely impressed with her from the moment I met her. She is very knowledgeable in her field, takes the time to listen to her patient and then decides the treatment plan to follow. I have had three appointments with Dr. Hakim-Zargar. I would heartily recommend her.

I have recommended Dr Hakim Zagar to many colleagues. She has yet to disappoint anyone with whom I have spoken. Her office is efficient, pleasant and well-run. I have yet to wait more than 5 minutes to be seen and appointments are not difficult to get. Dr Hakim herself is personable, attentive and sympathetic yet not a pushover. Her treatments always start at the conservative end of the spectrum, moving only toward more invasive options after all other avenues have been truly exhausted. Her bedside manner is excellent and she not only listens to but hears what her patients are saying. I recommend her without any reservations whatsoever.

Dr. Hakium is one of the best doctors I have ever had the pleasure to use. She is thorough, compassionate, intelligent and just an all over wonderful human being. She is not "knife happy" opting for surgery as a last resort. She does not rush you through your visit, and takes time to really listen to you, since diagnosing properly comes with diagnosing the whole person and not just the foot! I have read the review from Harwinton (one star) and say ignore it! That is not her....period!

Not very compassionate office at all. I was rear ended, and was diagnosed with whiplash. We have med pay though our auto insurance and health insurance through work. The office still insisted on us paying $150 up front before they would treat my wife. I'm sorry, but it was obvious they were more interested in money, than my well being. Office was empty, and she is accepting new patients. Now you know why. Also informing my PCP so they no longer will refer anyone to them.
