It had been many years since I had seen Dr Ben-Othmane but he came in the room and had already reviewed my previous notes and knew my history without me having to go over it again, which surprised me and made the visit go much faster. He listened intently to me, appreciated my typed notes and questions and asked insightful questions back to me and came up with a great plan going forward. I am very grateful for his time and expertise and look forward to my problem improving with his help.

Dr Ben-Othman is always so courteous, respectful, insightful, he always takes the time to answer any questions I may have, even if I don't have questions he has always explained everything to me in detail and then asked me if I understood or had any questions. He is always so pleasant and polite when he comes into the room.
