“I began to have problems with my leg and couldn’t walk long distances without pain. I went to Dr. Khatib. I was recommended by my primary care physician. He checked it out and found I had clogged arteries in my left and right leg. I had stents put in my left leg and an angioplasty in my right leg. Since that time, I’ve been walking fine. The staff is very good. They always try to work around my schedule. Dr. Khatib is a very caring physician. At the time, I was smoking. We had some conversations about that. He wasn’t judgmental. He explained to me it was in my best interest to stop smoking and I’ve been without cigarettes for a year now thanks to Dr. Khatib.” — Michael Starks, patient of Dr. Yazan Khatib
“I had open heart surgery initially and after having the surgery, I had lots of recovering to do. Dr. Hamdani was instrumental in helping me recover. She is a very good communicator, and I enjoyed the care that I received from her. She would tell me in advance what was going to be done. I appreciated the way in which we interacted. Dr. Hamdani has a wonderful and engaging bedside manner.” — James Swenson, patient of Dr. Irram Hamdani
“My primary care doctor is the one who recommended Dr. Ibrahim to me. He said ‘He is the best; this is the one you want.’ He became my cardiologist, and he’s followed me all the way through. Dr. Ibrahim was so down-toearth from the beginning, not on that high platitude that so many doctors are on. He was just very upbeat and humble. I feel like he probably saved my life. The office team is wonderful and friendly. It makes everybody happy.” — Shirley Purdy, Patient of Dr. Morhaf Ibrahim
