Dr. Arief is an excellent doctor! Her explanation of my condition, possible progression and remedies were very thorough and easily understood. She started off by saying that my issue was not cancerous or extremely serious. after being relived by that statement, it was much easier to focus on what she had to say and what the potential outcomes would be.
