Doctor Ashar was very honest and expressed his opinions about past medical treatments that he had concerns with.
Providence Patient
Overall my rating is based on the provider enter the examine room, stated I have pink eye prior to examine me a noted nothing can be done, other than heat compress etc. Made the statement prior to actuallyomi g at. Y eye which I asked him to do. I also noted other issues which were not fully addressed
Providence Patient
The offices were beautiful and comfortable. The doctor was more "serious" than expected. Didn't make us feel particularly welcone. Seemed unsure and a little uneasy, assuming because of the autism. I have faith doctors will improve in time, especially since this was our first visit.
Providence Patient
I had a very good experience with this provider. I was a first time patient, he had clearly gone through my entire chart, he was kind, knowledgeable and took his time. I did not feel rushed, which was nice.
Providence Patient
Dr. Afshar is an excellent doctor. He always listen to my concerns and explain everything in detail with available options. He is very respectful, polite, and professional.
Providence Patient
First Appointment
Providence Patient
My experience was informative and I was able to have a pre-op exam that day that was scheduled at a later date. Thank you for doing this.
Providence Patient
Dr. Seemed to be in a hurry and I felt he should have spent more time with my concerns. If your busy don't schedule people if you can't spend reasonably time to address their concerns. I wasn't very happy and I felt I was being rushed through. Might be looking for another primary care doctor to switch to!
Providence Patient
I never had a bad experience
Providence Patient
Dr Afshar always listen and explain everything in detail. He is very polite, knowledgeable, and professional.
Providence Patient
Always professional
Providence Patient
I am happy to have Dr Afshar as my doctor. He follows up my progress as needed. His assistant and receptionists are super helpful.
Providence Patient
He seemed to go through the physical exam a little quickly, but in fairness, I didn't ask for very much, so I wouldn't say he was dismissive.
Providence Patient
Office, staff were courteous and helpful. Dr shared and explained his assessment of my symptoms and provided speedy referrals. He was a bit hurried in his approach, but was not rude.
Providence Patient
Dr. Afshar and his staff are always upbeat, knowledgeable, and genuinely concerned about my health.
Providence Patient
I'm very happy to have a doctor Afshar. I trust him because he is very knowledgeable and good person.
Providence Patient
I was impressed with how Dr. Afshar had reviewed some of my medical history and came into the exam room prepared to talk about my current medical issues at my first visit with him. I had some ideas for the future direction of my care and Dr. Afshar listened respectfully and contributed several good ideas for what needs to happen. He did a great job of placing referrals and helping me get connected with the right specialists. I will continue in my medical pathway thanks to Dr. Afshar.
Providence Patient
NO waisted motion. Dialogue encouraged. Efficient visit.
Providence Patient
I received excellent care.
Providence Patient
Doctor could not treat me because he did not have my medical records.
Providence Patient
I'm 62, and have seen my fair share of doctors. Dr. Afshar is the best doctor I've ever had. He's polite, he gives you his full attention, he is very organized, and I always feel that he covers everything very well. He's also very responsive to online messages which is a huge help.
Providence Patient
Thanks for the care and prompt attention!
Providence Patient
I have seen this doctor before for the same condition, but I felt the doctor was very rushed and didn't listen to my concern about this condition. I left the office feeling like the doctor didn't fully listen to my worry and fear about this condition. He didn't examine any part of my body that was being affected, and just handed me a paper on how to do home care. I felt like he was rushing to get to the next patient.
Providence Patient
Dr. Afshar is very respectful of my questions and is very thorough in his practices. I'm happy to have found him as my care provider.
Providence Patient
I have been experiencing high blood pressure. My doctor has been aware of it. All I needed to do was get a television visit with him and he prescribed me medication. Since the medication, my blood pressure has gone down considerably. I'm very pleased. It eases my mind as I am getting older and worry too much.
Providence Patient
Dr Afshar and his entire staff do an outstanding job. I couldn't be happier.
Providence Patient
Dr. Afshar listens to me concerning my health. He is easy to communicate with and to explain my needs.

Providence Patient
My right knee hurts. MRI was ordered - waiting on insurance approval. PT was suggested - waiting on insurance. No help shown from provider to help get these approvals. Very frustrating!
Providence Patient
I only need a blood test because my cholesterol high, I requested need blood test on email but staff call me two times want me come to see doctor, so I Made a video appointment. Actually, Dr.Yama only spent less than 5 minutes with me. He should respond me in email instead.
Providence Patient

Providence Patient

Providence Patient
First time I had Dr. Afsar. I was his last appointment. I was having alot of of severe Thigh pain. He didn't check my leg just asked questions. Finally I told him what should I do? He said go to rehabilitation and go back to provider after several months and ask them for a MRI. I said why cant you order the MRI. He said no have your primary do it later. I will never go back to Dr. Afsar again. He didn't read my file and was not helpful at all. I wasted my time speaking to him.
Providence Patient
Very efficient in answer the phone, booking appointments and answering any question.

Because Dr Afshar asks ME questions, he checks beyond initial problem. I ALWAYS learn some new info on how to use prescription correctly,or more effectively, or he will spot a new issue while checking what I came in for. He has prevented me from becoming seriously worse when I did not see the problem.
