Very knowledgeable, great Dr. and staff! Everyone in the office is extremely helpful!
Dr Makhdoom has been my gastroenterologist for the past 16 years. I received such great attention, and care. He goes above and beyond to care for his patients and their family. I’ve never had this level of care or treatment from any other specialist regarding my health issue.
