This was my first virtual appointment and it was so much better than what I'm used to. First appointment with this doctor, zero wait time and texting over the app actually helped me get everything I wanted to say out better. The doctor was friendly and knowledgeable and got me answers on the call.

He spent no time with me and didn't listen to me at all. He wouldn't let me finish telling him my symptoms before he quickly diagnosed me with neurodermatitis and just prescribed me with a cream and pill for the itch. My problem was besides the itch, so it didn't help at all. My biggest problem is he would not listen. He didn't even examine me at all or look at all the swollen lymph nodes, etc. I'm just glad my insurance covered 100% so it wasn't a total loss.

He's usually very thorough, but sometimes he can seem to be in a rush. Overall, he's very kind and answers questions. All of his staff are very professional and attentive which I greatly appreciate!

Very nice bedside manner. Right to the point of my visit. He asked probing questions about my condition and came up with a treatment plan.

Very nice clean and modern office. Everything about their systems and even checkin is smooth and intuitive. Both the NP (or PA? She told me but I forgot) and Dr Fakhouri were very kind and friendly, listened to all my concerns and made me feel comfortable despite freaking myself out after googling about a suspicious mole (I know, I know lol) it turned out to be nothing but I'm glad I had it checked out.
Verified patient
Looks like he is good professional.
There was slight miscommunication regarding what I wanted to know regarding my condition. I was ready to go and just call the appointment a waste of time, but his assistant was adamant that I not leave unhappy. Dr. Fakhouri made sure all of my questions were answered a
I thought both Dr. Fakhouri and his entire staff were amazing. Polite, friendly, and very knowledgeable! They seemed happy to use humor to make an otherwise awkward situation great! Look forward to seeing them for any future assistance I may need.
