Dr Abu was a pleasant surprise. Friendly, personable, knowledgeable, and very concerned for my ease of mind about the appointment. Listened to my concerns and addressed all of them and came up with a plan of action to follow and appointments were made to put that plan into motion. Provided me with enough information to put my mind at ease. All of this and a wonderful bedside manner to boot.
