I chose Dr. R after extensive research online since I needed colon cancer surgery. I am SO HAPPY that I did!! Both surgeries went beautifully! Dr. R is very calming, responsive, knowledgeable, and professional! His staff is warm and responsive, too. I can't recommend him highly enough!! More

I normally do not leave reviews, I am almost 4 months out from my surgery. I was so impressed with Dr. Azimuddin, he was very caring and empathetic with my concerns about my colon fistula surgery and post op pain management and my medications that I just could not stop taking that I had been on for years, He took the time and sat at his desk with me and went over my medications, records and concerns (fears...lol) that I had. Dr Azi did not know, but my daughter was the one who found him as I had been to another facility and decided I was not going to do this surgery, but after talking with Dr. Azi, I just felt like I was in good hands. I could see he took his work, patients and skills very seriously. Every staff member who worked with him had nothing but great things to say about this Dr. and everything we discussed; Dr Azi lived up to his words!! The ERAS pain management worked incredibly well with me, I was surprised how well it did work, that I did not need any opioids and I was not in any pain with this protocol, I was up and walking pretty quickly after surgery and released to go home 2 days after my surgery. During my last appointment, I joked with him and asked if he could do any and all my surgeries I would need because back in the day, General Surgeons were allowed to. My family and I are so grateful for this Dr.! Thank You Dr.Azi, you were my last interview as I was giving up on the medical establishment..... YOU ROCK!! Deb More

My mother in law had to have surgery due to recent diagnosis of colon cancer. From the very first visit, Dr. Azimuddin made us feel very comfortable and put us at ease. He was extremely patient and informative of what to expect every step of the way. The office is great about sending reminders of what to do before surgery and even after. Her surgery went perfectly and she has had a smooth recovery. I would definitely recommend Dr Azimuddin without hesitation!! More

The Best! - I had hernia surgery by Dr Azimuddin on March 5th and if it were not for the band aids and my hernia bulge gone, I would not have known I had surgery. On the pain scale 1 to 10. It has been a zero since the minute I woke from surgery. The medical staff at Memorial Houston Northwest were the nicest people. More

I am 7 weeks out from Hemorrhoidectomy Surgery for stage 3 and 4 internal and external hemorrhoids, done by Dr. Azimuddin. I have to tell you this is one of the best decisions I have ever made. I first experienced hemorrhoids over 30 years ago, but it has gotten worse in the last 5 years. After every bowel movement I have had to push the hemorrhoids back in, and had to sit down for 30min to an hour and wait for the swelling to go down. I had to change jobs from one where I walked alot to a desk job. Because too much standing and walking would cause my hemorrhoids to come out, and sometimes bleed. I love to golf, but I could never walk the course, due to hemorrhoids, I had to have a cart to sit down on to push my hemorrhoids back in. Dr. Azimuddin did a fantastic job, I no longer have hemorrhoids, it is so strange not to have them. I can walk, jog, and run w/o worrying about hemorrhoids now. I am a New Man! But the surgery is not a Cake Walk, the first 3-4 days were really tough! You have to listen to Dr. Azimuddin and keep your stools soft! The first 3-4 days the pain is the worst, but trust me it gets better. After the first week I felt better. You will feel much better two weeks out, and was able to go back to work. But still took it easy. After 6 weeks you should be back to normal, and living your new active life. I am back to my normal diet, but have added a daily stool softener to my diet. It just makes it easier to have bowel movements. If you do nothing your life will not change, if it is time, let Dr. Azimuddin do his thing! He did an Amazing Job on me, I am forever grateful! More

I was diagnosed with colon cancer. Dr. Azi performed the robotic laparoscopic colectomy and my experience was excellent. Dr. Azi was very professional taking the time to answer any/all questions and explaining everything that would occur prior to surgery, while in the hospital, and during my recovery. I was only in the hospital 48 hours and my outcome has been very positive with absolutely no adverse side affects plus a speedy recovery to my normal pre-surgery diet and exercise routines. More

Dr. Azimuddin quickly diagnosed my condition after about 9 months of not really knowing what was going on with me. I visited several doctors before finally deciding to make an appointment with Dr. Azi. He performed surgery on me (my first surgical procedure) to correct a colovesical fistula and I am so grateful for his expertise. Highly Recommend! Thank you Dr. Azi! More

The right doctor - After 2 surgeries from an ER doctor and one from another doctor, my fistula kept flaring up. I decided to get a second opinion from Dr Azimuddhin, and I was convinced to go for a third surgery. Right after the surgery I felt this time it would be all fixed. Because he did the procedure so clean and the incision was thoroughly stitched. I have never given any reviews, but the pain and the procedures I went through last year literally took a toll on me. Thanks to Dr. Azimuddhin, he treated me and solved my issue in merely couple of weeks. Please don’t wait or be scared to get help if you have any colon issues, go to him and get his expert opinion.

Dr. Azi performed emergency hernia surgery on my 83 year old father a month ago. He was straightforward and honest. He saved my father’s life and my family is so grateful to him. God really him thru performing the surgery which was considered complicated. I recommend Dr. Azi to anyone especially for an elderly patient who is scared. His kindness and compassion goes a long way. May god continue to bless him as well. More

Dr. Raphaeli took his time at our initial appointment and explained the causes and concerns with my hernia and the mesh repair implant surgery that he recommended. He answered all my questions and made sure that I had a full understanding of the procedure and recovery process. For the surgery we chose Houston Methodist Willowbrook and he and the staff at the hospital took excellent care of me both pre and post op. He and his staff offer the best care I could ask for I highly recommend Dr. Raphaeli. More

I found Dr. Azi in 2018 when I was diagnosed with colon cancer. I was extremely impressed from the first visit and trust his judgment on what needs to be done. He has an awesome bedside manner and truly cares for his patients. (His sense of humor isn't too bad, either!) He is very thorough and made sure I understood exactly what was going to happen. He is THE best... I wish I could have him as my PCP. 10 out of 10!!!!! More

I'll update the remarks after the surgery. More

My 82 year old Mom with Lewy Body Dementia needed surgery while she was in hospital and my brother and I were most concerned about her having it due to the tenancy for LBD patients to severely decline after being under general anesthesia. Dr. Azi spoke at length with us and said he would research other anesthesia methods to avoid that risk. He and Dr. Snider (anesth) came up with a way to accommodate our wishes and allow Mom's hernia to be repaired. We have been most pleased with Dr. Azi, his staff and consults! More

Can't say enough good things about Dr. Azimuddin, had major rectal cancer surgery with ostomy and reversal. This was a very scary time for me. He's good at explaining what to expect. Also something about him gave me confidence that I was in good hands. Turns out I was blessed to have him as my surgeon. Would trust him with my children, says everything. More

I was in the office for a physical check-up and to schedule surgery for an umbilical hernia. The office was spotless and tidy; the waiting time was minimal. Dr. Knapps invested the correct time for my review; he was very attentive to my questions and clarified all my doubts. The surgery was scheduled, as well as the subsequent follow-up consultation. I widely recommend Dr. Knapps as a dependable and technical skillfully surgeon. More

Dr. Azimuddin did my surgery at Methodist, and the surgery went well. However, afterwards, I had issues with constipation (kinda a given since it was a GI surgery) but I called to ask if it was okay to take a certain product and was told I’d get a call back and never did. I took it anyway because i was miserable. The next day, I called to ask if they would prescribe zofran because I was throwing up several times a day which was very painful to the surgery site as well, and I was told it would be prescribed to my pharmacy. The pharmacy never received the prescription. The doctor was perfectly nice at my postop, and the surgery was fine, but his front office must not be communicating and not doing their job and that was very frustrating. More

Dr. Azimuddin was recommended to me from my GP. I was diagnosed with Stage 4 colon cancer. Dr. Azimuddin took my case and did the operation on my colon. Bottom line, because of his knowledge and professionalism he saved my life. His care and concern of his patients go beyond the norm. If you are put in the situation of finding a colon or rectal surgery please, contact Doctor Azimuddin if you want the best chance of surviving. More

This email communication is directed to Dr. Azimunddin. Thank you for your extended courtesy in reaching out to Dr. Muhamed Othman for the ESD procedure I wanted done to remove the 35mm Large Poylp from my Large Intestine. Rest assured that I will refer anyone I know needing a Colonoscopy or Robotic and/or Laproscopic procedures to have remove any large polyps found in their Colons. Thank you again for the time you have taken to examine all the documented information I brought with me from El Paso Texas regarding the Large 35mm Polyp discovered by Colon Surgeons during a colonoscopy procedure performed on me in El Paso Texas sometime during the month of September 2019.

I started having extreme pain and had suffered for 2 weeks. I had gone to another Dr. who prescribed some medication but the issue kept getting worse. It was so bad I went to the ER and they were no help. I called Dr. Azimuddin and he got me in the next day. I was in so much pain that he had me admitted to the hospital that day. He conducted surgery the following day and that took care of the issue. That was 6 days ago and I am feeling great and have no pain. I was introduced to Dr. Azimuddin in a very bad situation which he handled extremely well. I can not recommend him enough. More

I was referred by my dr for hemmoroids i made a appt and arrived one week earlier than my scheduled date and was told that i could be seen. Dr R listened to my concerns and preformed a exam and Concluded that I indeed needed surgery. I had to reschedule and they were very accommodating. On the of it did take a bit of time to get to the surgery room. I did see the dr before during the nurse visit. As I was wheeled off to surgery i was repositioned and woke up in aftercare. There was a bit of pain and i was given som morphine. This did not work as well as the tylenol 3. The ibuprofen did the job so i never really took the tylenol 3 again. Although a uncomfortable procedure it's not a bad experience. Very nice dr Thank you. More

He did my colon resection. He’s personable and straight forward. He took the time to meet me in his office to explain the surgery and recovery. More

Dr azimuddin has seen me 3x and has done 2 procedures including davinci robot surgery for r inguinal hernia i have the utmost confidence in him he listens, and my results have been excellent he is friendly and professional and clearly explains things his staff is also friendly and efficient More

I cannot say enough about Dr. Azimuddin. I suffered with a fissure for over 6 months. Day in and day out of constant, agonizing pain. When I had been turned away from two other doctors writing them off his hemorrhoids, I knew my body and knew they were something more problematic. I thank God I found Dr. Azimuddin. We didn't spend more than 5 minutes in the room together before he ushered me to his office and scheduled surgery. One week later, he performed the 15 minute surgery and since that day (3 months ago) I have not had ONE day of pain! He knows what he is doing, please don't put it off. I was scared to death but I will NEVER wait again. Go see him. He is an absolute God send. Thank you again Dr. Azimuddin! I can never repay you for giving me my life back! More

A couple months ago I suffered from severe pain in my lower abdomen which caused much difficulty when going to the restroom. My rating on this pain was a 10.After several Doctors failed to determine the source of my pain, I was lucky at last to have my gynecologist confirm it was a colon problem and that I needed to seek out the help of a specialist. My journey to Dr. Azimuddin was not an easy one as I was initially scheduled to have the procedure done in Miami. Due to a tropical storm my appointment was cancelled so I decided to head to Texas where I had family. My sister searched online for Colon specialist and there was Dr. Azimuddin of the Houston Colon & Rectal surgery with great reviews. Honestly my encounter with Dr. Azimuddin can only be described as ‘A Blessing’. In a nutshell, we emailed him in the evening for an urgent appointment given my level of pain. Imagine, Dr. Azimuddin was online and responded immediately confirming that he would fit me in for an appointment the next day. He was able to review all paper work and advise all next steps in order to have the procedure done quickly. A colonoscopy was done to confirm source of pain followed by a colon resection. I vouch that Dr. Azimuddin and his team lived up to their commitment to the patient of:1) Immediate access to care2) Complete Evaluation of GI Tract3) Rapid Relief of Symptoms4) Individualized Treatment for meIn addition, I felt very comfortable knowing that I was being attended to by someone with so much experience and knowledge in his field. The level of professionalism was impeccable and I knew from my first appointment that I would be ok.My surgery was minimally invasive and my recovery has been nothing short of amazing.Thank you Dr. Azimuddin for making me pain free and able to live life to the fullest again.

I am really glad I was referred to Dr. Azimuddin by my PCP. I had terrible hemorrhoids and he walked me through my options, before I made the decision to have a hemorrhoidectemy. He doesn't show much emotion and it straight to the point, which I appreciated, but not everyone does.A few days after my surgery, he saw me for a same day appointment because I was in pain that I thought was more than I thought I should feel. But after a discussion and guidance on keeping on top of my medications, within 24 hours, I was a different person. It was like a light switch.While he seems unemotional, he seems to really care about his patients, and was very patient with my questions.I highly recommend Dr. Azimuddin to anyone for any procedures or office visits he offers.

Dr. Azimuddin has been my surgeon for a total colectomy, an ostomy reversal, hospital stays, and in-office checkups. He is always friendly and is always concerned about my progress. He gives direct answers and takes the time to make sure I (and my parents) understand things. I always feel comfortable asking him any questions I have. Any nurse or hospital staff I've talked to always has great things to say about him. Dr. Azi looks out for his patients and is a great doctor to have on your side. More

Dr. Azzimuddin diagnosed and resolved my issue in 2 weeks, that had been on going for 7 months. Although he is a surgeon his first statement was not let?s cut you open and see what we find (as I had been told by another surgeon)! His test showed the issue immediately. my intestines had a hole made from mesh from a previous surgery which resulted in my body creating a fistula. He scheduled surgery, operated, and fixed the issue, that was in Sept. 2015. More
