Dr. Alahdab is very professional I can see he loves his specialty. He makes me feel I am in good hands. I would definitely recommend family members or friends to go see him if they have heart problems. The waiting time is more than an hour, but it is worth it without a doubt.

There was a mix up with my appointment, so my husband and I arrived when no one was in the office. The doctor gave me a call and told me he was on his way. He came in when he did not have to he could have made me call back and make another apointment. I have never had a doctor so down to earth and want to help a patient and family so much. When the apointment was about over he asked me if I had any questions and then truned to my husband and asked him. I had never had a doctor talk to my husband before. This made me know that I could trust this doctor, and that he cares about the people he treats!
