Zakir Safdar

He listens

He is a gifted doctor. Very connected and he made me feel safe to open up.

Dr Safdar is fantastic in every regard

Excellent doctor!

Good Experience

All great

Dr. Safdar is such a compassionate and professional person and extremely qualified physician. We are so fortunate to have the pleasure to be under his care!

An excellent physician

Provider only knew what he looked up before the appointment in regards to my concern.But I highly recommend this provider because he listens, lets patients have autonomy and make their own decisions without badgering them as my previous providers in this clinic did, and he is always open to referring me to the appropriate specialist. I appreciate he Durant pretend to know everything and is here for me to help navigate my care

Dr Safdar is a superb physian

As a current employee and leader at UCSF, I can say confidently that Dr. Z checked off all the boxes for a 5. He was kind, patient and made me feel heard. The most notable thing is how at ease he made me feel throughout the entire visit. I also appreciated his punctuality.

We are exceedingly pleased. He doesn't rush, is always prepared, uses our time wisely, and is kind.

Dr. Sudhar was excellent

Dr. Safar is amazing. He listens, is completely prepared, always asks if there are other concerns, and finds ways forward without taking on something about which he doesn't know. He is excellent at making me want to be healthier.

Dr.Z is one of the best physicians that I ever had and I'm 71-year-old.

Appreciate so immensely how detailed and caring Dr. Safdar is.

I really appreciated Dr. Safdar's openness to my questions and concerns. He provided outstanding care.

Really like and respect him. Feels like really listens

My experience thus far with Dr 'Z" has been exceptional! I am very pleased with his integrity, his approach, knowledge and listening abilities. Being in the profession myself for 28 years as CCRN,MSN I have found our patient to doctor relationship,quite refreshing,a very welcome change.Keep up the fantastic work!

Great doctor

I didn't think the care provider was completely invested and felt that while he cared, that some of my concerns were minimized.

Dr. Safdir remembered and addressed health Issues from our last visit, then asked follow-up questions that showed me he was focused on resolving/treating my ailments.

Great

A superb clinician at every level

Very good experience

It's the first time I met Doctor Safdar and he exceeded my expectations. He is very caring, a good listener and he tackled all my health issues, giving his personal care to his patient without urgency of the time.

Dr. Safdar was awesome. I had to discuss some rather difficult things, and he handled it all extremely well.

Dr. Safdar was one of the best doctors I have ever had! He connected with me as a person, the person who I am: a 44 year old queer woman. I didn't feel like I was just another patient he was trying to get through during his work day. I truly felt cared about.

I have recommended Dr. Safdar to my husband as his PCP.

An excellent encounter with Dr. Safdar; he listened carefully, did not appear to be in a rush; he was efficient and effective.

I am a fairly new patient of Dr. Safdar (though not new to UCSF Health) and I am beyond pleased with the care he's providing me. He is kind, gentle, compassionate and listens carefully. He is very thorough and is looking at ways of quickly getting tests and care he feels I need at this time. He is an EXCELLENT care provider.

Outstanding!

I am so grateful to be Dr. Safdar's practice. I would follow this guy anywhere he goes. I hope Dr. Safdar has a long tenure with UCSF primary care.

Dr. Z is definitely a kind of doctor that cares about you as person rather than as a project. He was very empathetic about my recent traumas and made me feel seen and heard.

The Provider was Very attentive and engaged. He listened to me, gave me choices and explained those choices. I never felt rushed. I felt at ease.

My care provider was sympathetic to my grieving the intentional loss of some bad health behaviors on my part by coaching me to view them as notable achievements.

He was a breathe of sunshine. He was everything a experienced physician isVery well qualified

It was my first visit with Dr. Safdar, but my first impression was a very favorable one. He's a listener, very sensitive to patient's comments, very pro-active, and goes out of his way to suggest solutions/alternatives to some problems of the current medical system (such as high drug prices.) He has a sense of humor and cheerful demeanor. All around 5 stars!!

I have never felt as seen or as cared for as I did yesterday. It was an overwhelmingly positive experience.

This was literally the best experience I have ever had with a PCP at UCSF. Thanksgiving j you Dr. Safdar

Dr Safdar was professional and respectful

Very impressed with Dr. Zakir Safdar

Very thorough, well informed and pleasant

Provider was extremely knowledgeable and very courteous!

Excellent clinician

Love my new physician!!!

Shared decision-making can be hard (which is the right route to go?), but it's very nice to be actively included in one's care.

Dr Safdar is great! Took the time to listen, asked all the right questions, and explained things clearly. More than anything I appreciate how real he is - open, funny, and totally approachable.

Outstanding. First time meeting this provider. Caring, thoughtful, asked great questions, listened well.

My visits w/ Dr. Safdar have been great. He listens, is curious and is extremely helpful. I've needed a lot of followup with my visits and he's gone out of his way to accommodate my needs. UC is very lucky to have him!

Excellent experience with this lovely doctor

Dr Safdar's care was excellent, he listened, looked carefully at my ear and went with me over my medications. Excellent

I have had many providers change over the last 5 years. I am always worried with the numerous changes in providers. Dr. Sadkar is professional, kind, communicative and thoughtful. I feel secure with him as my MD.
