Pathetic doctor in regards to patient care. Always behind schedule 2+hours, does not return phone calls or emails. She thinks too highly of herself in my opinion.

The day I went to see her she was running 2 1/2 hours behind, but she was helpful and listened to me once I got in to see her. I would suggest phoning the office to see if appointments are on schedule before going go to your appointment, but the office staff rarely answers the phone.

Do not waste your time with this office. If you are referred here from your primary physician request another one. Front staff horrible, you can never get through on the phone and they are all completely insensitive.

Dr. Kazmi is without doubt the worst excuse for a neurologist! She is arrogant, dismissive, doesn't listen to her patients whatsoever and clearly does not enjoy her job. I wouldn't recommend her to anyone and she should have her licence revoked. Tells me she "thinks" I have some rare disorder but gives no info on it or runs any tests. Only wants to treat anxiety or depression which you'll have to repeatedly tell her you don't have (if you don't have it) - because SHE DOESN'T LISTEN!!! Don't waste your time or hopes on her.

Not clear communications. Suggests rather than prescribes. Have contradictory suggestion once.

Writes down my diagnosis on a post it note and walks me out. Completely insensitive and ignorant to anyone’s time. I was sent a referral to see her in January, got in for my first appointment in May. My first appointment she was running over an hour late and I just left. Call me and let me know she is behind and I will better make use of my time then waiting in a waiting room. Also their phones you can only leave messages so it is a constant game of phone tag. The initial reason I went to see her has not even been treated and she is looking into something else she discovered. Never the less once being diagnosed in under 1 minute with something I have never heard of she walks me out and hands me a post it note so I can google whatever this condition is. I am in the process of wanting to see another neurologist.

I saw Dr Kazmi 6 months after I experienced my first grand mal seizures. I had many questions and concerns about the medication I was started on. I was scared, but I was happy to finally be seeing the specialist who everyone assured me would help make things better. I walked into my appointment and within 5 minutes I was in tears, hysterical (this is not like me). She did not have any information from the hospital or my family GP, she accused me of being on drugs and binge drinking, I was talked down to and belittled, I was not heard. She cut me off when I was trying to explain my symptoms to her and she chalked everything up to me being “clearly an extremely anxious person”. I felt extremely upset by the way I was treated by someone who is supposed to be a medical professional. I am sure Dr Kazmi has been able to help some of her patients based on some reviews I have read here, but that does not mean it is ok to cause harm to others. And based on some of the other reviews I have read I know I am not the first person she made feel this way. I would not recommend her to anyone that I care about.

Really liked Dr. Kazmi. Very thorough although it has been well over a month and the staff has yet to send a report to family dr.

I have been seeing Dr. Kazmi for about a year now for my migraines. She has been good for the migraines but I have beeb having many weird symptoms that look like MS recently. On my last two follow ups I have tried to bring up my new symptoms to Dr. Kazmi but she has completely blown me off both times. Like right after I finish telling her that I am having stabbing pains and numbness all over my body, burning pains and can't tolerate either cold or hot she just rushes me out of her office. My symtpoms have gotten so much worse over the last six months yet she has spent less time with me at each apppointment. I am beginning to feel like she simply doesn't care about me as a patient and worry that I have an undiagnosed brain tumor or MS since she can't be bothered to run any tests.

My mom has been seing Dr. Kazmi for about 6 months now. Unfortunately, she has been unable (along with 3 other neurologists) to diagnos my mom. She seemed to genuinely care and has tested mom for more things than the others. Since she is unable to help she has reffered us to another neurologist that specialises in genetics.
