One of the most compassionate and understanding physicians I have ever experienced. Not only in understanding the ailment, but me as a patient, and more importantly, as a person.

I had a very rough year with my health, but having Dr. Suhair Abulfarag as my primary doctor gave me comfort that I can always call her with my concerns and question. She is so caring ,knowledgeable and supportive. I never had a problem getting an appointment . I never have to wait for my appointment. She is a great listener and explains things at the patient's level to make sure they understand their condition and what they need to do to take care of their health. Best of all she makes you feel like you are her only patient.

I work at Shady Grove Hospital and met Dr. Abulfarag by over hearing her talk to a patient and then to a staff member. What amazed me first was her patience, then her kindness and but most of all her caring disposition. Everyone in the hospital who knows her feels the same way I do. I think I am the luckest person to have her for my doctor. I recomend her to everyone I know. Dr. Abulfarag is a role model and is what a doctor should be to a patient.

She is a awesome doctor, someone who is not just a Doctor, but cares about her patients.If you want a Doctor that will listen and explain everything to you in details that you will understand, she is the Doctor to go to. Once you go there 1 time, you will always come back. I never want another Doctor.

Overall, she is a very nice and caring doctor. I have thought(wrongly) that her staff was rude-they are really quite sweet and accomodating once you get to know them.
