January 2023

Good.

Dr Quamruddin is always compassionate and caring about my family history of heart issues. Easy to relate to!

Upon leaving the main campus I felt that I had been gifted by God to have the time allotted to my concerns as well as the depth of information about my condition. The physician was not only concerned about my reason for the visit but about my general welfare. The medical profession has experienced the full brunt of a historic pandemic and it was extremely solacing to have the physician treat me with such passion and concern. I have shared my experience with others and have recommended Dr. Quamrrudin to others who I am certain will benefit as I have from her knowledge and wholistic concern for her patients.

Liked her, just who I wanted. I was actually surprised I wanted a cardiologist who specializes in women, but there was no way I could figure out who one could be, so lucky me.

I think Dr. Qamruddin is great. She explains things really well and cares about your overall health - not just cardiology.

Great experience! Dr. Qamruddin - The best!
