Allows me to make inputs on my treatment

The physician who attends to me is very attentive and patient with me. She answers all of my questions, discusses each detail of the process and allows me to make inputs on my treatment. My only regret is that it took me so long to making the appointment after receiving the referral from my PCP.

Going here for almost 15 years

I have been going here for almost 15 years now and Dr. Huang has been great. Today I got my bloodwork done at the lab they have downstairs and had the smoothest/painless blood draw by a lovely new young lady. Thank you all for your service and hard work in bringing strong professionals into this group.

Fantastic listening skills, empathy, and warmth

I met with PA Hafsah Iqbal. Ms. Iqbal is an incredible physician’s assistant! She took the time to listen to my concerns and had fantastic listening skills, empathy and warmth. She presented me with multiple options and next steps and explained everything clearly in plain language. She didn’t rush me and was incredibly compassionate and understanding.
