The staff is overly friendly and dr. Yousaf goes out of his way to answer all your questions and does not believe in jumping to surgery until it is a last effort. Plus he does not believe in over medicating a patient unless you need it. He goes right to the problem sit down and explains everything so you can decide what works best foe you. He treats you like a person no a number.( like you only have 15 min. With the patient he takes all the time you and he needs to help you) you don’t get that with everyone anymore.

I highly appreciate the professionalism of Dr Yousaf. He took the time to understand my problem and provided invaluable information. I did not feel like the standard patient; more like a member of the family.

It would be truly wonderful if all in the medical world would follow the this form of practice.

I am extremely pleased with the professionalism and personalization involved in the care I receive from Dr. Yousaf and all staff. I see many physicians on a regular basis, and I find that unfortunately there are many offices that do not take interest in each individual's full circumstance, to best approach a sound plan to address the patients physical situation. The personalized care, professionalism and sincere compassion displayed in this office scores a 100%. I have no hesitation referring family and friends to this office. A sincere thanks to all for the care I receive. It's quite a blessing,
