As a new patient, I did not know what to expect, and am happy to report that I had a worthwhile and pleasant experience. Dr. Hajjar was an intent listener and put me at ease. I believe he diagnosed my situation clearly and gave me helpful advice and the correct necessary prescriptions.

Dr. Hajjar may be the most personable and welcoming doctor I’ve ever encountered. From simply having good conversation about personal life and activities, while also having a genuine and educated concern for me.. it was that of which I’ve never experienced with another doctor. He even went out of his way to give me an echogram simply for the sake of wanting to ease any concerns. I also came a bit late for my appointment, and was seen maybe no more than 5+ minutes later. As a whole, this place is ran beautifully.
