He is very cervicial, he tries to help in everything, he worries about health when insurance does not cover, thank you doctor [TRANSLATED]
Professional and friendly. Explained everything.
I felt like he decided that I didn't need to be there before he even talked to me. He was uninterested in my case. Brushed off every symptom I had as something I needed to speak to another specialist about, without any discussion. Refused to even look at my scans. Went forward with basic testing but couldn't discuss with me what the possibilities were or what we were looking for in the testing. Following my visit in his notes he stated that I denied several symptoms that I specifically brought up to him and discussed having. He also described in his note the reasons for testing and what the possible outcomes would be. Would have been nice if he had discussed them with me during the visit.
Doctor Zaman, was fantastic, he explained what he was doing, what the next steps would be, and estimated when I would get back my test results.
Extreamly kind and listens and understands every need. Would highly recommend him to every.
A good visit. Good information and future plans.

Tahúr is a genuine caring physician. It is obvious he cares about me as his patient. Thanks to his constant encouragement my health has greatly improved.
A very kind and caring medical professional.
Poor bedside manner and worked based on his own agenda and not based on my needs as a patient. Any work to attempt to work with him was met only with ultimatums. I'm sure he is a very knowledgeable nephrologist, but the appointment was a waste of a year of waiting for me.
Tahir is not only a caring physician who knows his field very well, but also a great friend to have. He is always accurate in his assessments. Thank you for being genuinely interest in my wellbeing.

enjoyed my experience from arrival to setting my new appointment set up 4 months to the future! smiling I left the building feeling happy I went to the doctor
excellent
I had done research on kidney problems possibly related to a Genetic Birth Defect I was born with. He said he could not answer some of those questions. However; he said he was interested in finding out mire and would do some research on my birth defect. I was extremely impressed by this. Most doctors are not interested enough to do some research on the topic.
dr. discussed results of lab work and answered all questions I had concerning results.made positive .changes to my meds as needed. asked if I had any further questions/concerns and answered them. also concerned about other medical issues I have.
I PREFER DR. ZAMAN IN PERSONHE REASSURES AND EMPATHIZESWITH EACH PATIENT.
overall this is a very good way to have consultations at this time, but I feel there should have been some previous contact for blood work so that all information was up to date and could be discussed.
Excellent Doctor and staff
I'm very happy with Dr Zaman, would recommend him to anyone without reservation.
Dr. Zaman is great! Professional, caring and great in discussions on condition and treatments. You should give him a raise! Please take good care of him!
Good
Dr. Zaman is a caring doctor. It's obvious he wants to help his patients. He personally called us two hours after we had gone to the lab, to reassure us that the lab test results were within range. That's what you call genuine care!
The doctor explained the results of my testing, explained my condition, possible areas of concern going forward, alienated my concerns.
I recommend Univ of Utah Health to all I can. Very happy with phisicians, clinitians and assistants!
Great
Really liked Dr. Zaman
He was very understanding and cared about what was going on
Easy to talk to, informative, knowledgeable and has a great bedside Mannor.
My experience with Dr. Zaman was extremely disappointing. Throughout my hospitalization and follow-up care, I felt dismissed, rushed, and left without clear guidance during a serious medical situation. Important information about my kidney function was not communicated, and when I asked reasonable questions, I was met with abrupt and unprofessional responses. I left feeling confused, unsupported, and without a clear plan for follow-up care. I would not recommend him based on my experience.
A very concerned and informative doctor. Great experience!
Dr Zaman Always makes my visit so fun to come to. He puts me at ease, answers all my questions and works hand in hand with my other doctors. This helps me to stay more healthy
