Dr.Khater is a wonderful doctor. He is very friendly and explains things to you on a level that you can understand. I'm getting ready to go back to him on Wednesday. My husband likes him so well that he is his primary care physician. He takes good care of my husband. Found a bunch of stuff that was wrong with him. Until Dr. Khater my husband wouldn't go to the doctor. I would recommend Dr. Khater to anyone.
