Very good. Provider was a good listener !
Dr Attar is awesome
Listened well
Everything was good
I've been seeing Dr. Attar since 2021. He is super. Very pleasant, excellent doctor, and responds to messages immediately. He knows my health history well. I'm really fortunate to have him as my cardiologist.
Friendly
The cardiologist is unequal in his expertise; however, this visit could have easily been completed via telehealth to allow him more efficient use of his very valuable time
All good
Good
The Nurse practitioner and the Dr are wonderful people

Listened and helped figure out what was going on with me

He gave timeframes for timely scheduling surgery and instructed me to message him if outside of those times so he could help speed the process up.

The best
Dr. Attar is an excellent doctor. He is very knowledgeable and thorough.
Peace of mind . He was and always is great
Very thorough, and asked questions that made it clear that he had reviewed my medical records from visits with other providers before this appointment. Very kind and personable. Reasonable and explains his reasoning in a way that I can understand. Also speaks in my native language of Arabic.
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
