He is a good doctor very kind and always thorough with his patients. I would kindly suggest that he reminds people that you cannot offer a narcotic medication that is the prescribed to you by your doctor as a relative has done so to me. Thank you for your time on the matter.

Been seeing him four times a year for a few years. Couldn’t tell you one way that this doctor has given me treatment that any rational human being would call adequate. In fact, I know my insurance has been billed by him for services not even rendered. And why would somebody need to follow up with their PCP every three months if the only care they’re getting is an albuterol refill? Consider this review inclusive to all of Hartford Medical Group’s “money first, treatment last slogan. They are vultures and part of the reason why medical care and insurance coverage is so expensive. They should be ashamed of their pathetic business.

I like Dr. Zafar. Easy to talk to and overall pleasant when able to see in person. I tired to make an appointment to discuss my constant headache, 24/7 for 4 weeks. Was told no appointments available. Not even few months in advance. Was directed to virtual visit with someone I don’t know. What’s the point of having physician if can’t discuss things in person.
