Dr. Yusuf is truly exceptional. She took time to explain my condition and treatment options in detail. Her bedside manner is excellent, and I felt genuinely cared for throughout my treatment.
After being misdiagnosed elsewhere, Dr. Yusuf correctly identified my heart condition and provided the right treatment. Her expertise and attention to detail are remarkable. I'm forever grateful.
Dr. Yusuf combines professionalism with genuine care. She listens attentively and provides clear explanations. The only reason I didn't give 5 stars is because the wait time can be long.
