Dr. Viqar meets with me for about 5 minutes, and does not listen to my response after he asks me a question. He will ask me the same question several times because he doesn't realize I just answered it, because he wasn't listening. I specifically asked him not to prescribe a medication that had caused a bad reaction before, but he insisted and I had the same reaction again. He feels the need to talk down to me and often comes off as hostile, which is very odd because I'm not a confrontational person. I'm switching providers after 3 year, since the office I go to won't let me switch doctors. Dr. Viqar is truly horrible to deal with and he messed up my medication by not listening to my input.

In 2009, this man, who graduated from some unknown medical school situated on a piece of volcanic rock, diagnosed my son. His exact words, that I will never forget were: "You should give up on any high aspirations you have for him."

In less than 3 months, my son will graduate with a degree in Business, with high honors from his university (here in the Lehigh Valley) as an inductee in the Business Honor Society. The road has been difficult, but that's part of life. His plans are to study for a Masters in Business.

Viqar made that diagnosis when he was practicing at St. Luke's. He's not practicing there any longer. He hasn't practiced there since about 2010. My letter to the Health Network's General Counsel is perhaps related to that. Or maybe it was coincidence.

He gets one star only because this system won't allow less. If you see him as a patient, I advise you that you're a you're a fool.

So far I've seen Dr. Viqar twice, and both appointments have resulted in a very positive experience. He is extremely knowledgeable in psychiatric medicine, although he did also ask me a wide array of questions in order to better pinpoint my treatment. I'm on a new medication that is working wonders for me, and I will absolutely continue to see him!

They are an absolute expert in the field. I would never feel unsafe or apprehensive in their care. Absolute caring professional, listening to everything you say to create a great treatment plan. Dr Vigar is a kind, gentle person with great wisdom and insight!!

They always make sure to return my phone call as soon as possible. They've never left me waiting. When I arrived for my appointment the friendly staff seemed to be waiting for me. I've been to other places where I had to wait forever after I arrived for my appointment, but not here. I was very impressed. Not only do my appointments never get canceled last minute, they take time out of their day to send me a reminder so I don't forget. They are extremely reliable. They always have an immediate answer for me when I call with a question. They would never try to get me to make an appointment unless I really needed one. Their offices was one of the easiest places to locate ever. I found it in minutes.
