Dr. Makled blew my expectations away. I currently have many referrals and about 6-7 different specialists. I always feel rushed or blown off because I have been experiencing varying medical issues for over a decade. Dr. Makled was SO kind and so informative and patient and made me feel so comfortable talking about uncomfortable topics. She pulled up my labs and discussed absolutely everything she could think of and addressed every aspect from every POV, even in regards to specialties that are not hers. I HIGHLY recommend this doctor and am grateful I was blessed to have such a positive medical experience.
