I really appreciated being heard, the thorough explanation, and ability to ask questions and receive complete answers. I really like their manner, too. Good listener, kind, and capable.

Dr. Zarour is a very knowledgeable doctor. He seems to know me better than all of my other doctors put together. His attention to detail is very helpful. The information and explanation he gives helps me better understand what is happening inside my body and why it's happening. He doesn't just describe with words, but he draws pictures to help visualize, what it is that's happening. I feel like I matter with this doctor. I genuinely feel like he cares about the well-being, overall health, and quality of my life. His level of compassion is Greatly appreciated. He's one of the best doctors I've ever had, in every category.

Dr. Azar and heis staff are awesome. I visited the ED Department and had a pendecitis. I was scheduled for surgery the next day. The surgery went excellent and I was better after that. I only meet with Dr. Azar and his staff 2 times and would recomend him and his staff for surgeries that they do.

Well run, smooth operation.

Dr. Starley and his staff are amazing. I came to them with a problem I've been experiencing for over 5 years. He understood what was happening and made a comprehensive plan to help me through performing robotic surgery to remove the problem area. This is the 8th surgery I've had in the last 20 years and this was by far the easiest and most successful surgery of any of them. The time spent in the hospital was minimal and my recovery time was very short. I would not hesitate to recommend Dr. Starley to anyone seeking a remedy to a complicated medical situation. He listened to me and respected all of my concerns. Thank you for helping me and making my life easier to live.

The question where you ask about my medical team. My medical team has doctors outside the Legacy system. Dr. Starley and his staff are phenomenal. My primary care doctor, who is outside of the Legacy system, recommended him from a conference he led. They were quite impressed with him.


Mar 29, 2024

Dr Zarour and his staff are amazing. They always make me feel comfortable and in great care. They always make sure to listen to me.


Mar 07, 2024

Apparently it took a few days for the office to complete and send leave paperwork to my employer causing a delay in benefits. Otherwise my experience has been 100% positive and I couldn't recommend Dr. Cowell strongly enough.


Mar 05, 2024

Extremely knowledgeable Doctors. Compassionate. Explained my case with expertise. My husband and I were able to understand the Doctors /Surgeons every word.

This medical team assessed my injury and had me in for surgery within 2 days of my initial visit for this issue. They have been diligent about following up and making sure my questions are answered thoroughly.
