I saw dr. Nassif for the first time yesterday for an appointment and I will tell you that I felt very heard. He was an excellent listener. And I think that's a incredibly important characteristic of an excellent position. They are excellent listeners to their patients. He sat quietly. He looked directly, he was listening to my concerns of what I was experiencing. He asked questions based on what I said, and I just felt very heard, and I really really appreciated that. So, thank you Dr. Nassif
