Dr. Wael Jaber in cardiology is superb. He is professional, knowledgeable, and experienced. He explains issues in detail and clarity and means to remedy issues related to my health. He shows a great deal of empathy and concern. I must say the same about the lady professional who performed an Echo Cardiogram. She was polite, professional, and focused lazer sharp on what she was doing. She also showed empathy towards my health situation and put me at ease while she was performing the Echo. She made sure that she covered all bases by sharing the Echo with the MD before releasing me. She is quite an asset!
