I have been with Dr Husni for years but she has changed a lot. She has become unfriendly and her medical advise changes from one visit to the next. I will not be with her much longer!

Dr. Husain is a most professional practitioner. She listened to all my concerns and answered them in a way that I could understand and be aware of what the challenges I could have. She relieved my anxiety about concerns about my osteoarthritis.
