Dr. Abousaif has been my gastroenterologist for many years. He got me through a very difficult time in my life and never gave up looking for a diagnosis. His kindness and professionalism has always been comforting as well as his knowledge. I wouldn’t even consider another gastroenterologist.

Great doctor. Walked into the examination room exactly at my appointment time (made months ago) and had doctor walk in within minutes. Asked questions to get to the bottom of my current state (flair-up). Didn't let it slide and asked for studies be made also prescribed medication for my current state. Only issue, could not make future appointment until another four months. Medical group needs to hire more Gastro doctors for quicker appointments.
