Good. No problem.
Providence Patient
Dr Ajaz is the best doctor I have ever encountered. He has always displayed the best characteristics that I or anyone else would ever want in a care provider. He told me that he is leaving the area and that is a terrible loss to me and Spokane.

Visit was great, tried to set up next appointment but was told someone would call. After a week I called them and had to leave a message. Finally they called and let me know Dr Ajaz was moving away. I couldn't believe he didn't tell me himself. My next visit I will have a new Doctor. Thank you Dr Ajaz you were great while you were there for me.

Providence Patient
Great provider
Providence Patient
All was great with Dr, Nurse and all personal, it seemed like a happy place to work! Dr was fantastic, explained everything well. My only complaint was having to wait almost three months to get an appointment while being in excruciating pain and so sick. It's sad you can't get to a doctor when you really need too.
Providence Patient
Great start to a doctor patient partnership. Treating Lupus can be a long road and I'm so glad to have a thoughtful caring team with me for the ride. Thank you.
Providence Patient
Dr. Ajaz was professional, compassionate, and easy to talk to about my condition.
Providence Patient
I really trust Dr. Ajaz and feel like he cares about my well-being. The ability to meet via Zoom can be handy, the only issue I have is that following up to schedule the next appointment is not easy. If we could do it online or someone could follow up with us, that would be fabulous. I've got a note to make an appointment, though I get involved in my work and forget to call. It will take me a while to get to it and I might be off schedule by the time I am able to do this. Just a suggestion.
Providence Patient
I am very happy with my care

Providence Patient
Always good experiences.
Providence Patient
Dr Ajaz and his team run their practice like a well oiled machine. He runs on time, doesn't rush through appointments, is a great listener and remembers things I tell him (and takes good notes). He refers to my comments from previous appts to follow up with those concerns. He makes sure, via text reminders and calls from his team, to remind me to get blood tests on schedule. He explains well. We always establish a game plan of care until my next appointment. His team always gets back to me very quickly, and much of the time, I get through to his nurse right away. Any time I have had something urgent come up, that might be my own fault, or a last minute call late in the day, they work with me to make sure that I get the care when I need it, without necessarily requiring me to come in or be forsed to go somewhere else. And finally, he has really troubleshooted and helped me feel better. My quality of life has dramatically improved over time, thanks to him.

Providence Patient
Dr. Ajaz is the kindest and most professional Doctor that I have ever been treated by. He truly cares about my well being and makes sure to reach out to me if any of my tests that he has prescribed show cause for concern. I am thankful for Dr. Ajaz and only wish that other health care providers took their work and the care that they provide as seriously as Dr. Ajaz does.
