    I love the fact that the staff knows me, they are very friendly, the customer service is excellent. The doctor repeat and Jennifer are very knowledgeable and explain what they are helping you with. The staff will contact you, as well as PLS, will contact you and keep you up to speed with scheduling, appointments, and upcoming healthcare needs. I love the office. And the doctors.

    I was able to discuss my health concerns and the doctor was so kind, understanding, and put the best judgement toward my concerns. I really am glad I went back to Dr. Rafiq and his team!
