Dr. Khabbaza is an excellent doctor and I credit him greatly for his care during my time in Marymount Hospital when COVID attacked my lungs 4 years ago. Dr. Khabbaza is still taking care of me if problems come up with my breathing. When I come to his offices on Rockside Road, I usually go upstairs for a breathing test.The medical people in the Lab upstairs are kind and VERY helpful during a breathing test and I usually have my results from Dr. Khabbaza before the day ends.
