The doctor that I scheduled my appointment with never actually saw me. She sent the PA in, and I waited 2 hours for nothing. They didn’t do any tests or anything and just tried to have me schedule more appointments.

This was my first time seeing Dr. Hossain and I would easily recommend her to anyone and everyone. After avoiding GI doctors for 5 years due to a bad experience she was like a breathe of fresh air. She was thorough and took everything I said into consideration. She communicates so well and really wants to make sure that she gets to the root of the problems. She immediately ordered all the needed testing for me as well so we can get started on the process. The MA that did my intake was so lovely as well and a great listener. Highly recommend this office and this doctor!!
I would highly recommend Dr. Hussain She and her staff were helpful informative and attentive I had a very positive experience on my first visit
Verified patient
Dr haussan was great I recommend her
Verified patient
This is a change of Dr. for me. I went to another practice and needed a change. Dr. Hossain was so wonderful, but from the office staff to the medical assistants, I couldn’t have asked for a more friendly and patient office. The medical assistant took all of my information, she did not rush in and out, they kept me informed of what was happening every minute. I never felt like I was sitting around without knowing what was happening. Bloodwork done in the office! This was the most thorough panel and my results came to me by the next day. I can’t say enough about my first impression. It’s a great practice.
Verified patient
I really liked Dr. Hossain, she was extremely friendly and really took the time to listen to everything I had to say. She made me feel comfortable and hopeful after two years of difficult experiences with other gastro doctors. I like this office a lot!

Dr Hossain was very thorough she spent so much time listening to me and evaluating my condition. Shes the first Dr to spend the time and make me feel at ease with what is happening to me and give me the resources to better help myself. Thank you so much
Verified patient
I made an appointment with Dr Hussain. When I got there after driving 20 miles I was told that she wasn’t available. I’ll have to see a PA. I asked why they didn’t call me to tell me I did make the appointment the morning before but there is such a thing as a telephone and she could call me and tell me I’d have to see a PA but no phone call. I don’t want to see a PA. I want to see the doctor. A waste of my time.
Verified patient
First time in this facility and I'm happy with the service. Front desk greeting by Ms. Paige H, was awesome. Doctors assistant Mr. Ajay, was very welcoming and attentive, he explained everything in details and any question I asked he answered. Final was Dr. Hossain who will be the attending physician. Overall I'm extremely satisfied and happy with this facility. Professionalism, concern and care at its best. 10+****** #satisfiedpatient
