I really like Dr. El-Bakush. She listens and explains her thoughts and plan for treatment in an understandable way. She also shows an interest in her patient's personal life. She takes her time and doesn't rush through the appointment.

She suggested I go back to using my CPAP machine. So I followed her advice and selected a mask which fit better and have been using the machine ever since

The doctor was running behind and the whole appointment felt rushed. And I didn't feel like I could ask questions or express concerns.
