I've been seeing Dr. Muzammil for my lymphoma for over three years now. The first thing I noticed was how he never rushed. He’d sit, explain the scans in plain language, and actually remembered what we talked about last time. The hospital’s fancy, sure, but what matters is that I never feel like just another file on his desk. When my blood counts dipped last winter, his team called me before I even saw the report. That kind of consistency is what gets you through this.
