Dr. Abdullah is amazing. Very easy to talk to. He literally sits across from you in the exam room and has a face to face conversation. He actually listens and understands my concerns. His nurse Nicki is exceptional. She is the sweetest soul. She is a light that just radiates from within. She is so caring and understanding. She is the true definition of a nurse!! Kathy the receptionist is always kind and sweet.

My other treating Drs of 12 years, have repeatedly expressed concern that I suffered from an autoimmune condition. One of them insisted a get treatment and an official diagno sis. My worst luck was being sent to this cruel, egotistical, small man. He was offended that any other Dr than him dare to diagnose me. He could tell by looking at me that I didn’t have a condition worthy of his time. He wouldn’t bother running tests because his own belief in his genius told him it wasn’t worth it. He claims to follow data and science but then refuses to employ either. His need to be seen as all powerful and have you beg for his consideration is the ONLY path to care and to his desire to be famous. He is dangerously pathological.

Had a appt with Dr. Mishal Abdullah almost 2 wks ago and I found him to be very thourogh in his assessment, asked alot of questions and truly cared about you and finding the right diganose to get you on the path to feeling better. He even called me personally to explain and educate me on my possible diagnosis. Don't find many Doc's like this anymore! Kathy (front office) and nurse were wonderful too!!
