Patient Comments
The doctor took time to go through my medical history vs a rush to tell me I am young and strong. She was thorough and diligent about gathering an understanding of her patient and the appropriate next steps.
I liked it so much that Dr. Islam reviewed my history not just medical but my life history. Then she went into my medical history. She looked at the current test and results. And then together we formulated a treatment plan. It was very satisfying to have a doctor, not talking down to you but talking with you and asking your opinion and we came to a unified agreement on treatment plan. It was wonderful.
Everything went well.
Dr. Islam always listens and answers my questions.
Yes the communication is always very good
