I would like to say that Dr. Chahine has been one of the best doctors I have seen. He explained possible causes and treatments thoroughly using language that my 13 year old daughter could understand. He took his time, was never rushed and made us feel at ease immediately. I would recommend Dr. Chahine to everyone as we were extremely happy with our visit.

Dr. Chahine is unlike any doctor I have seen in a long time in that he doesn't let you leave the room until you have a thorough understanding of any conditions you may have and the various options at your disposal. On my first visit he personally spent one hour with me addressing all my concerns and administering tests, whereas other doctors delegate most tasks to nurses and spend fewer than 5 minutes with their patients.
