Poor to say the least. He appear to try and figure out where from he can extract money more than checking the patient. He asked to go for 10 things for something as small as some spasm in leg/knee. Even after MRI revealed nothing, he asked to go for physiotherapy - and that too for a specific center! He also would do X-Ray at his own clinic irrespective of whether you have done it earlier elsewhere. He would also request all lab/radiology at his own choice of centers. As I said he would give you a bill that's astronomical. So, be prepared!!

Absolutely amazing experience!
Yes, the wait time was longer than others but worth every second waiting. On your first visit, he does xrays (conveniently, x-ray machine and x-ray tech are part of the office) and performs very very detailed evaluation. Bring all your records because he doesn't skip anything, previous MRI reports, surgery reports, xrays...etc.
He will take the time to review all of it with you and make sure you understand what it all means.
Then he takes the time to explain your diagnosis in such a clear, simplified way using online pictures, educational videos, plastic knee model. I never understood my complex knee issue like that before. He was my 3rd and final opinion, i was scheduled for surgery with another doc and after understanding Dr El-gazzar's conservative tx plan, or "recipe"as he calls it, i cancelled my surgery. 2 months later and i was back at the gym, playing pick up basketball games. Do yourself a favor, go here for the best orthopedic TX and care!

Wait time is way to long waited over an hour, especially since he only keeps his clinic open during normal business hours 8-5 it is really unacceptable to keep people waiting this long if you take time off work an need to go back. Overall I will never be coming back, do not have time to wait for nonsense

Dr. El-Gazzar is an amazing physician/surgeon. I met him over 4 years ago when I had a broken leg and ankle. 2 years later he performed a partial meniscus replacement on my knee. He is kind, caring, confident and knowledgeable. He has done a knee meniscus replacement on my son and seen my daughter for knee issues. The process for all procedures and after care went smoothly because he took the time to explain everything before and after. I would highly recommend Dr. El-Gazzar.

Dr. El-Gazzar is the finest surgeon I've ever had the pleasure of meeting. He took care of my son as a charity patient when he shattered his elbow. We were so lucky to have had him as Jesse's surgeon. He has a reputation for arrogance, but he has earned that right, because he's just that good. I unconditionally recommend him to your attention. I don't even care about the extended wait times to see him at the hospital... we were, after all, a charity case.

I've been to many doctors over past years and I can safely say that this is the first time I was compelled to write a review.
The doctor himself is very busy but he takes the time to explain everything until you feel comfortable with your diagnosis. Also Dr Elgazzar is NOT "let's rush surgery", surgery was the last resort after we tried all other options.
The office is very modern and clean and the staff were pleasant and professional.
I recommend him highly.

Please do yourself a favor never go and see Dr El-Gazzar. I was made to wait 120 minutes before his assistant come and took a stock at my problem. 6 mins that's what he took to document my years old problem. Then comes Dr El-Gazzar, a self proclaimed super busy guy, not in mood to understand patient needs and problem. He spent 2 mins, yeah that's right 2 MINS, and went away. Then comes his assistant back again and gave me prescription and left the room. That's it the appointment was over.
