I was so frightened when we...
I was so frightened when we first met him. My husband is the patient, and Dr. Muzammil has such a calm way about him. He speaks softly, makes sure you understand, and never makes you feel silly for asking the same question twice. There was one visit where the parking was completely full and we were flustered, but the moment we stepped into his clinic, his gentle manner just put us at ease. He treats the person, not just the illness.
