- Dr.Ismail saw my son a couple of weeks ago. She is very kind and a great professional. She explained every step to him very clearly and with very good manners. She's very knowledgeable and will go to the bottom of the medical issue, no guess work, arranging any necessary tests to get the final results. We are very pleased with how the appointments with Dr.Ismail went.
- Dr Ismail was wonderful. Very approachable and explained everything clearly and patiently.
- Dr Ismail has a lovely manner and able to bridge the differences in language between ages, explaining in simple terms what the medical terms mean. Put together a plan to follow and a follow up future appointment. Would be great if she was our family dr! 5 stars.
- Dr Ismail was extremely knowledgeable about our concern and has a fantastic bedside manner which put our son completely at ease. Would highly recommend.
