Over a year ago, Dr. Tahir saved my leg. A surgeon affiliated to the largest hospital in the Lehigh Valley had told me there were no other options than to amputate my leg. Days before the scheduled amputation, I was informed that Dr. Tahir is well known for trying absolutely everything to help save his patient's legs, and very rarely has to amputate; I was strongly advised to get his opinion. Because of Doctor Tahir, a kind and caring experienced surgeon, I have a normal life, and still walk on my own two legs. His staff is very nice and friendly; scheduling is always easy and convenient. A few times the wait was a little bit past my scheduled time but everyone I talk to tells me he is the best, so it is a busy office, the wait truly is worth it! Another thing I really like about that office is that, he is the only one there unlike other offices in the Lehigh Valley where there is a partner or a group, and you don't know who you are going to tell your story to all over again. I give Dr. Tahir the best rate of all ratings!
