5.0 star star star star starDr Issam A. Mikati MD listened intently to all my concerns and evaluated my symptoms and did not down-play anything. He requested the necessary testing without hesitation and thoroughly explained my results. I do need to be monitored but I am very comfortable and have no doubt I am in good hands. Dr Mikati took his time to go through my family history and explain how that might impact my health and advised me on what steps to take to better my health instead of just prescribing a daily medication. He has my best interest at hand and I truly appreciate his approach. Dr Mikati went above and beyond to thoroughly explain all aspects to all my questions and never made me feel rushed. He’s soft spoken and kind. I know I am in great hands with Dr Mikati.
