She said I should have told her about my problems when she first came in. And she had other patients to see and we can discuss it on my next appointment.

Dr. Abuali is a new attending. She is doing great, but she will develop more confidence and casual conversation skills as she gains experience.

I was very impressed with Dr. Abuali. I am a retired physician assistant and she is on top of her game. Her demeanor and knowledge are outstanding. I felt very well taken care of and liked her plan of management. Hats off to Riverside for hiring some somebody of her caliber.
