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 Khawar has saved me from suffering more than once. He is intelligent, yet humble, knowledgeable, yet approachable, thorough and engaging. Even though he is dealing with life and death matters, he can still put you at ease. I am heading toward a transplant in a few months, largely in part to his skill and care. He really cares about his patients. All the best, Dr Khawar, all the best.
