Excellent patient care and very friendly; I recommend them 100%.
Very efficient, on time, thorough. Old school medical office mentality with all the modern bells and whistles. Impressive on all fronts.
I left the office feeling very confident that I was making the correct choice. Dr. Sakir answered every question I had and did not rush the consult He described the procedure and what would occur both during and after surgery. The staff was pleasant and helpful. The office itself has a comforting and calm atmosphere. I am now waiting to set up my next appointment.
