Dr. Abikhaled Reviews
Based on: 1 review -Add review
I got an appointment when I needed one.
They kept things moving and on time during my visit.
I received a correct diagnosis and up-to-date treatment.
I was given specific advice on lifestyle changes I can make to improve my health.
The provider really listened, gave me the time I needed, and put me at ease.
We discussed treatment options and choices I have.
The provider addressed traditional and alternative medicine treatment options in an open-minded way.

Before I met Dr Abikhaled, I consulted with another surgeon, who proposed a more extensive surgery than what I was expec...ting. I was surprised to learn the proposed surgery is the traditional procedure for my medical diagnosis. Considering the risk involved (plus a lifetime of meds), I needed to feel confident that at least other options were considered. So I sought a second opinion.
Fortunately, I found Dr Abikhaled. He took the time to listen and allowed me to express my concerns without trying to convince me otherwise. He carefully explained the possible outcomes in surgery and gave me the opportunity to ask questions. His approach toward me as a patient gave me the confidence to trust his decision on which procedure would be best.
My surgery went well. Dr Abikhaled skillfully performed a more difficult procedure than anticipated. I am grateful for his extra effort and very fortunate to have a better than expected outcome. I could not have found a better surgeon. more details
