Dr. Anwar was born in the small South Asian country of Bangladesh, and moved as a young girl to Queens, New York. Motivated by her love of children and medicine, she was accepted into an accelerated medical program in NYC for talented high school students known as Sophie Davis School of Biomedical Education. This is a unique program that integrates undergraduate education with the first two years at Albany Medical College. Dr. Anwar went on to complete her MD degree at Albany Medical College and then completed her residency in one of the busiest trauma hospitals in Brooklyn. Following residency Dr. Anwar spent just over a year practicing general pediatrics at a clinic in Syracuse, NY. During this time she fell in love and was married in Long Island just days after Hurricane Sandy. She then moved to Atlanta, where she is enjoying the opportunity to put away her snow shovel and begin her new life learning to be a Southerner. She is glad to have the support of her husband and his extended family, all of whom have lived in the Johns Creek area for many years. Dr. Anwar’s hobbies include traveling, cycling all over Atlanta, eating out in local and ethnic restaurants, reading, writing, and cuddling up with her doggie. She is fluent in Bengali, and conversational in Hindi and Urdu.
Dr. Anwar is very helpful and knows how to make both parent and child feel heard and comfortable under her care.
Dr Anwar is the best doctor I have ever met. I always have a great experience during my kids yearly wellness check. She is knowledgeable, caring and professional. Also the staff is very polite and friendly. Everyone at the Children's medical group work very hard.
Dr. Anwar is always very engaged, patient, listens well and provides excellent guidance. We have been seeing her for 12 years and she is an outstanding pediatrician. All our friends and family go to her.
I find Dr. Anwar to be incredibly knowledgeable and trusts her diagnosis of my children as she is always accurate which reduces return visits. She is super caring, builds a relationship with my children and finds a way to make them laugh at every visit. She is gifted with an ability to recognize what the issue is right away. We have been seeing her since she joined this wonderful practice which my kids have been patients of for 19 years. She is a great physician and a breath of fresh air when the kids are not feeling their best.
Dr. Anwar is amazing. She always answers all the questions and give you as much time as you need. Best paediatrician.
Dr. Anwar is simply the best. I do not have enough adequate words to describe how greatful we are to have her as our pediatrician.
Dr. Anwar is so kind. Although my daughter could not fully communicate her issue, Dr. Anwar was patient and thorough to give us the best visit outcome. She cared for my daughter as if she were her own!
All the doctors at this practice are highly knowledgeable, professional, friendly, helpful and caring! We have been going to this clinic for 8 years now with frequent visits with my 3 sons and one of them being special need. We have always received top notch prompt service from all doctors and nurses. I have been recommending this clinic to all my friends and other moms. They have been very supportive and caring. Excellent Customer service is practiced here consistently with prompt referral turned around within 24 hours! We have been fortunate with this clinic!
We have been seeing Dr. Anwar for over four years. We have four young children and she is always patient and welcoming when we all come. She takes time to check in on all kids there even if it isn't their appointment. We feel that our children are known and valued by her and we trust her opinion when it comes to their health and safety
Doctor Anwar is amazing and my daughters love her. She takes her time to analyze and give diagnoses. My younger daughter loves her soft voice, and my older daughter loves the way she pampers her. Even when a wrong test result was given, she called me asap on the phone to explain the correct situation and the next line of action. She is a great fit for us.
Dr. Anwar is great! She's thorough, detail oriented and really cares about our baby. She takes the time to go through development progress, milestones to hit and any concerns we have. We always feel like we are doing a great job after we leave an appt with her. Thank you!
Dr. Anwar is excellent, she's very knowledgeable and thorough with great bedside manner. She takes her time and answers all our questions. Highly recommend.
