Patient
When I lost my last cardiologist to retirement, I was very sad and spent a lot of time investigating a new one. Dr. Atef's reviews seemed to say that he was the one for me. I made an appointment and was very grateful that I'd waited to get that appointment. He is so easy to talk to and very thorough. Most of all, he doesn't coddle me, but speaks the truth in language that I can follow easily and proposes steps that I can take to help myself as well. In short, his approach is more like a medical partnership than an opportunity to lecture. I'm very happy with that and much more inclined to apply his suggestions because they come from a place that respects me and works to find credible solutions. He's a wonderful doctor!
