    Dr. Massad was extremely thorough even catching a staphylococcus infection from almost a decade ago treated at an entirely different hospital. I had forgotten about. He also took the time to teach me the reason why for many of the things we discussed for which I had questions about. Dr. Massad is an excellent doctor I trust him for my care.
