    Dr Pakzad is incredible. A great surgeon. An incredible proceduralist. And a trustworthy physician.

    He may be one of the best doctors I've ever encountered. I certainly rank him up there with my PCP and my Neurologist. He listened, asked questions, and he spoke to me as if he believed I was smart enough to understand him. At no point did he talk down to me or assume I wouldn't understand medical jargon. He made certain I understood everything before he moved on to the next thing. He was thorough, even going through my medical history to make sure he hadn't missed anything. When I mentioned something I thought might be relevant, he did not dismiss me. He actually thanked me for mentioning it, and we explored that aspect as well. He's an excellent doctor.

    The provider spent 5 min with me. Told me my foot wasn't broken which I already knew and I was there to figure out what was wrong with it. He said it wasn't broken, come back in 3 months. Why would I return when he did nothing for me? And didn't listen to me at all.

    Dr Pakzad was very thorough in his explanation of my injury and description of proposed surgery. After care was discussed and was realistic.

    He ignored questions and concerns, spoke down to me, when I tried to tell him what I was told by a previous doctor he dismissed me. He had no clue why I was there, it was in reference to the safety of getting an MRI with all the metal in my ankle, which I had been told by a previous doctor not to. He said he refused to do surgery, wasn't asked to, because I would only break my ankle again and was to busy to really explain other than I lean to the left. Always have cause I'm a bit bow legged, duh. But couldn't explain how or why it would break immediately after removing hardware that does cause pain. Told me to lose weight and if he had looked at my chard I have lost 28lbs with an average of 7poinds a month. Just because I'm fat doesn't mean I'm not trying. The arrogance and rudeness of this man was beyond ac c eptable
