Dr Anwar is a great surgeon. He is informative and mild mannered and has helped me through some of my pre-surgery jitters. I feel as though I am in very capable hands. I would recommend him to anyone!
I'm currently consulting with Dr. Anwar about a tummy tuck and hernia repair (I haven't had WLS). He was prompt, professional, and I didn't feel rushed. He's got a great manner and answered all my questions without being at all condescending. I was worried about insurance covering the tummy tuck but he had some strategies and support to share, so I'm hopeful this will come about.
So far he seems competent. I havn't really talked to him very much except in two little mini meetings. He has group meetings with his nurses and support staff who talk about everything related to the surgery. While this is going on, everybody has a mini appt with him while he check your vitals and is there to answer any questions. He has done over 125 surgeries with no fatalities. I had total confidence in him and is there to answer any questions you have. His bedside manner is caring. The surgery went perfectly and the after care is great. I was a little too active after surgery and had some concerns and he saw me right away with no appt. I would recomend Dr. Anwar and the Palo Alto Medical Foundation. From his office to the nutruionists and psychology dept.--everyone was very respectful and helpful
Dr. Anwar is a first class surgeon all the way. He manner is kind and caring, at no time did I ever feel like I was any but the most important patient he had. He is honest and forth coming with any imformation I requested. I was completely impressed with him, his staff and that of Stanford hospital. I was a lot scared and they all helped me to feel at ease and as comfortable as possible.
My surgeon, Dr. Haroon Anwar, is AWESOME. The moment I met him, he put me at ease. I have Multiple Sclerosis and he was amazing helping me get approval. The funny thing is all the nurses in the hospital wanted to page him because he is so hansom. He has an incredible bedside manner and I appreciated all his support and kindness. I would totally recommend him to anyone having the surgery. Dr. Anwar’s Physician Assistant, Myra is great too. She is really your key person and will call you and help you when you need it. I had questions the first 2 days I was home and called to ask some questions. She called back within the hour and answered all of my questions. Palo Alto Medical Foundation was wonderful.
I liked Anwar th minute i met him. He remained very attentive and sensative. Dr. Anwar's asst. Mira was so helpful EVERY time i called her. There is really nothing that i did not like about him. Future patients should know that he is VERY handsome and easy to talk to. We meet as a group once a month for 3 months then once every 6 months. I can call anytime i need to. I would give Dr, Anwar a 9.5.
I was always impressed with Dr. Anwar. He was good at explaining the surgery to me and I am really impressed with his bedside manners. He is very professional but also very kind. I would recommend my surgeon to anyone having this surgery. The program at Palo Alto is new but structured. The after care program is also structured. Dr. Anwar personally phoned me four days after my surgery. He was very concerned. I was one of the most blessed and fortunate bariatric patients. I did not have any problems. No pain. I felt like I have been supernaturally healed. I am no longer on insulin. My most recent lab results were fantastic. My primary physician said that it was like I never had diabetes.
I rate my surgeon above 100% in all aspects of my bariatric experience................The only thing that I disagreed with was when he addressed the risks. I knew that the God that I served had given me the supernatural approval for this surgery. I told Dr. Anwar that I knew without a doubt that I would come out of this successfully because I had divine approval. Hope you understand......
Dr. Anwar was great I had RNY almost 5 years ago and I would recommend him to anyone wish I didn't move away to continue seeing him.
