This doctor and his entire staff are wonderful. They explained everything to me in detail and followed up promptly as promised. Dr. Farooq even got on the phone to calm my irrational fears. Although I'm moving away from Houston, I plan to return in 3 years for my next procedure. It is close to impossible to find medical professionals who are exceptional. Highly recommend.
