July 2022

The doctor was friendly, personable and patient. Dr. Khatib took his time to listen to me and answer my questions. I felt confident I was getting excellent care.

June 2022

Everyone was kind, compassionate and informative. Dr. Khatib drew a diagram to help me understand my diagnosis and explained all the options. He was very helpful.

Dr. Khatib is easy to communicate with. Takes sufficient time to address my health profile. Excellent doctor!

Never had a doctor explain to me this way he actually wrote on a board and drew exactly what he was going to do. Very impressive.

He was amazing. He was very knowledgeable about my history even though I had never seen him before. He explained everything that he knew about me and asked if that was correct or if there was anything else I needed him to know. He thoroughly explained everything I had questions about and was very reassuring. I am very pleased with my care.
