There are not enough kind words to say about Dr.Fakhouri and his staff. This office provided an efficient and thorough exam experience. I felt seen and heard by the people working with the Doctor. In fact the office was run with such perfection I asked the Doctor if he could consult with Emergency Rooms to ‘up their game’ to match his practice. Bravo to everyone who make this office about the patient in such a remarkable way. Thank you!

Dr Fakhouri was very nice. He made me feel at ease with letting me know what was going on with me verbally and visually. He answered all the questions that I had. He insured that he would take good care of me and the day of surgery that is exactly what was done. Surgery was quick and successful.
