I love Dr.Azen; she is amazing. Her med student was wonderful and very professional, too.
Dr Azen is a top quality professional. She is very approachable, discusses my concerns and possible solutions with me. Takes action as needed. I appreciate and trust the care she provides.
This was my first time with this particular provider. The visit was fairly short, however, she was very thorough considering the limited amount of time we had. I felt she was well prepared for your visit and was already familiar with my circumstances before I arrived. I liked that. My only concern is that he availability is quite limited. Her first available appointment for a follow up visit was more than 3 months out. For me, that its very frustrating. I prefer to have easier access to my Dr. I will try to make this work. Unfortunately, the limited availability seems to be an issue all the why across the board and seems to be affecting all of them providers at this clinic. Typically when I wanted and appointment I need to be seen sooner than later....not 3 months from now. I am a long time patient of this clinic (over 20 years now) so I do not plan on going anywhere. However, this is a big concern for me.
I highly recommend this provider with the one exception that her schedule is very full and she has limited availability to see patients.
Dr Azen has been my dr for 6 years and is an excellent guide and caring person and I only wish I could see her more often. (though I want others to also experience her excellent care)
Like my doctor and her staff very much

Once again, Dr Azen provided the care above and beyond. She is knowledgeable, professional and personable. She is caring and a good listener. I am very happy that Dr Azen is my primary care doctor. I am also very happy to see [...]- she has been the kind and sensitive and also very professional and knowledgeable. Thank you Dr Azen and [...]. I also want to mention the lab technician, [...]. He is gentile and I don't even feel the needle being inserted to my arm. He is so good!! Thank you for the great care!
Dr Azen is the best!
