Dr Jaber is an excellent doctor to work with. He provided me useful information about my test results and was able to contact his colleague, Dr. Saliba, while I was in the office on a prescription I was taking. Even though the doctor is quite busy with a stream of patients, I never feel hurried with him.

I have been a patient of Dr. Jaber's for over 10 years--I trust him implicitly. My only concern is his reluctance to discuss symptoms I may experience as a result of a change in medication, or in my condition. I believe he does this to allay worries, however I am not an alarmist. And if I don't know what symptoms are concerning, how will I know when to be concerned?
