Review for Dr. Moazzam
Dr. Moazzam is thorough and I appreciate the directness in his approach. He always provides opportunitiy for me to ask questions and takes the time to answer any questions thoughtfully and thoroughly. Dr. Moazzam has created a team-like approach in which I feel like an active participant.

Review for Dr. Moazzam
Don't trust him. I have a doctorate as well and have never left a negative review ever. This guy not only has a horrible attitude and tone, but he is also lacking in knowledge and tries to make up for it by sounding confident and sarcastic.

Review for Dr. Berger
I have been a patient for several years and he is the best. I always feel I am cared for and that Dr Moazzam is a great doctor. If you see him and his staff, you are lucky to have them.

Review for Dr. Moazzam
Great and I would highly recommend him to anyone seeking cancer treatment care. He listens and makes recommendations without being overly sympathetic, which I appreciate. He always makes me feel better when my appointment time is up.
