Dr. Phares is very passionate about his care and the plans he has for his patients. We may not always agree completely, but his intentions are purely motivated in what plan he believes is in my best interest. He provided resources for research to support his plan. I appreciate that.

I have been seeing a physician and my next annual visit is scheduled with a nurse practitioner. I am a master's prepared nurse myself, and while I don't have a problem with being seen by one, I was surprised by this change when the receptionist told me of the change and felt this was something the physician should have tole me himself.
