Dr. Khater is an excellent physician and clinician. The level of care that Dr. Khater provides is top-notch. He has the human touch that so often seems to be lacking these days in visits to doctors' offices at other sites. I am very impressed by his listening skills. He is thorough in the questions that he answers and with the medical information that he provides. He is generous with his time; the two appointments that I've scheduled with him have never felt rushed. I feel that I've not only found a very fine doctor, I feel that I've found a supportive friend. |

Doctor showed empathy, seemed to care, and thoroughly explained options. He is new so it was clear that he was trying to navigate the system.Post appointment care:I do have a complaint about post appointment care. I had a medical problem (blood in urine and pain) shortly after I saw Dr. Khater andmessaged the portal 3 times but doctor didn't respond. A nurse gave a brief response minimizing the symptoms but no response to my numerous follow up questions when I tried to get a follow up appointment or any clinical guidance.That lack of professionalism falls on Dr. Khater. |
