I am now seeing Dr Issa. She is a very thorough dr and she sits and listens to everything you have to say whether pertinent or not. Her nurse is just as nice and kind also. I felt very comfortable with the dr and felt extremely well taken care of. I liked the fact that I can send messages through the portal anytime and will receive answers back in a timely manner.
