Dr Bashir has been my doctor for over 10 years. He has seen me through my toughest years as a patient. He is always respectful, understanding, kind and he is one of the few doctors that actually listens to his patients. My recommendation is that of you need a dialysis doctor, he is the perfect doctor for you. Great service, plenty of locations, and availability are some of the attributes of Dr. Abid Bashir. NGNC will be my physicians office from now on!
