Dr Attar was very attentive, explained my condition in detain and put my mind at ease. He has a good sense of urgency and genuine concern and got me an EENT appointment right away/next day and set up a follow up appointment too. Their office staff from the receptionist/check in to the assistant nurse/staff were all very helpful and expressed sympathy and concern..
