"Dr Qureshi, seems like a fine person. The problem is his office staff. I send emails I call and it falls on deaf ears. I suffer with pain right now and they will not respond. The excuse I usually get is under staffed, well blah blah blah."

"I was seeing Dr. Qureshi for the results of a MRI of two fractured vertebrae. Upon reading the MRI Dr. Qureshi showed me the MRI and assured me that the vertebrae’s were healing by themselves and no treatment was necessary. His confidence put me at ease and I left with a smile. I would definitely see Dr. Qureshi if I had another back problem in the future."

"Had to wait over half an hour after my appointment time to see the doctor. When he finally did get in the room, he seemed to be in a hurry the whole time. Explained things in medical terms, which is great for people that understand all that stuff but I don’t. Seemed like he just wanted to get past my appointment and move onto his next one. Nice enough doctor and fine bedside manners, but just not my cuppa tea."
