I can not be more grateful to Dr. Ai-Kalla, besides being an exceptional surgeon; he’s also very caring about his patients. He takes his time to explain, listen, and makes sure that there is no unanswered questions. Plus I had a qShow moreuestion on a Saturday night while he was not in the office, and he still took my call and made sure that I was taken care of. Dr. Tarik Ai-Kalla goes over and beyond for his patients. And his staff are just as great, they are friendly, patient, and very caring.
Dr. Al-Kalla is the best! He has a good bedside manner and always listens to his patients. I highly recommend him.
