I adore Dr Abu so much. Such a kind and loving soul. The whole practice shines because of him. I was a little sad because I have a new issue with my heart but he is tapped into helping me by encouraging me to just take it step by step and not project into the future. He is a really good medical provider, as well. The whole package for sure. He has good ideas about managing my conditions and making priorities clear as to what I can do to help myself.

Due to the care of Dr. Abu I was released from blood pressure medicine and I give them the credit because I follow exactly what he tells me.
