I think he is very competent, but his bedside manner is weak. It feels like he doesn't have time to really listen or to ask good questions.

Dr. Phares is very passionate about his care and the plans he has for his patients. We may not always agree completely, but his intentions are purely motivated in what plan he believes is in my best interest. He provided resources for research to support his plan. I appreciate that.
