  “This doctor and his entire staff are wonderful. They explained everything to me in detail. They followed up with me promptly as promised. Dr. Farooq even got on the phone to talk to me to calm my irrational fears. I simply cannot say enough. Although I’m moving away from Houston I plan to return in 3 years for my next procedure. It’s simply close to impossible to find medical professionals who are exceptional. That’s why I’ve never written a review. Highly recommend.”
