Excellent communication and caring skills!
Dr. Waheed was thorough in interviewing me, examining me and explaining what the diagnosis might be and ordering tests to assess the source of orthostatic hypotension. He was kind and easy to talk to. He genuinely cared about helping me.
Excellent experience during every appointment!
Dr. Waheed is the first person I have gotten decisive answers and recommendations in this 10 month, so far, journey. It is very difficult to get anyone to give concrete answers and recommendations. He was very good at getting me some answers that I could then take to the next step. So thankful for him and his staff.
Very thorough and clear explanations.
