Providence Patient
Dr. Anwar is the best doctor I have ever had (in my 76 yrs). The smartest, the quickest, the most understanding of what I say - and he can see more than I say. Uncanny. I get answers to questions I didn't know how to ask. I receive insights on my ENT health that are invaluable for my future health. We sometimes laugh, having known each other for at least 15 years. He "gets it" - always. I don't go to doctors often, and he seems to give me as much time as he can without a sign of bother or discomfort. I bring people to see him and he is always caring, kind, knowing - and fun to be with. UNUSUAL man, and his assistant Is fast, expert, happy to be there and work to give us care.
