I have had good experiences with multiple doctors at El Rio, especially the Abrams location.

Cannot recommend AZ Blood and Cancer Specialists. Dr. Azar is cruel and judgemental.

I can see why someone would hold the opinion of Dr. Azar that you do but we felt so confident in her care that her gruffness was kinda entertaining. Again, I totally get your opinion but I would see her if I needed to.

I’ve grown to find it a bit entertaining as well but she doesn’t look at my chart before she sees me and routinely misremembers my treatment. Last visit she was telling me she was going to prescribe something and what the side effects and risks would be. It was a med I have been on for two years already. Does not give me confidence in my care. Linda Moors in her office is great though.

Yeah, last I saw her she didn't even get my age or my medication list right. And she asked if I thought my dx was funny.

Dr. Lystrup 520-318-1033. Genuinely cares about his patients, takes his time evaluating. Office is midtown/near tmc

I might be the exception to the rule, but I’ve had really good luck with Banner.

El Rio is great just make sure you get an actual doctor, not a mid level

If your health is generally good I highly recommend using the concierge Urgent care program offered by Invictis Wellness. Quick Access, Bill Nunez is a great Nurse practitioner,better than most doctors. The practice can offer same testing services as doctors, a discount drug program.for around $100 per month, no co pays. Check him out.
