No problem at all, moved from one nurse to another then to doctor and he spent a lot of time with me and showed concern with my issues.
Very good

Very good.
Frien fly, efficient, listened well, encouraging
All personnel professional and courteous.
Nothing bad. All good.
Dr. Attar was very prompt to come into my room and immediately used hand hygiene which I appreciated. He had my chart open and went over every aspect of it with me including prior tests that other providers had ordered that related to my issue. He took the time to explain my diagnosis. He knew my background very well and could easily tell how well he knew me through my chart. He updated my medications and went over everything we talked about to conclude my visit and allowed me ample time to go over any questions. I left there feeling more confident.
The Dr is great, but definitely relies on his staff to spend more time with me than he does. It doesn't seem to take away from the level of care I receive and his team is very well prepared and awesome to work with!
All good
Nothing bad. I do not know this provider very well; it's only my second annual visit for a check-up, but I'm favorably impressed by his understanding of my condition and my concerns. I noticed that he had looked at the tests I'd had recently, and he explained how he judged my condition on the basis of the tests.
All was very good.
Everything was great
Pleasant & to the point. Showed concern & a plan to do different tests to try to figure out my issues for me so I would know if there are any reasons for concern or not. If so I actually trust him to fix it.
Again, very friendly & approachable. Explained P.O.C. Etc.
