Dr. Abu is an excellent cardiologist and conducts himself in a manner that puts his patient at ease. He addressed my questions, discussed possible treatment options, and explained why he was ordering an EKG and a two-week period of heart monitoring before finalizing the treatment plan. I trust Dr. Abu to manage my cardiac health.
