Dr. Abuzeid was a delight to work with and was able to effectively supervise residents, address my concerns, and perform nasal endoscopy with minimal pain and discomfort. When complications did arise due to my specific anatomy, he was able to coach me through it while also teaching the resident what was happening. One of the most considerate doctors I've had in a while, I'm excited to come back!
I have nothing but good things to say about the service that I received. Timing and scheduling was efficient and according to schedule. My nurse and doctor were knowledgeable and informative, helpful, decisive congenial, and took the time to understand my situation while listening to me in depth. They understood my reasoning and gave me the most logical viable solution solutions to my issue.
This Dr gives excellent care and communication is also good. He is friendly, caring.

Dr. Abuzeid is the most amazing, thorough, kind, intelligent doctor I know. I absolutely feel so lucky to have him as one of my care providers. Excellent physician, wonderful human.
I'm old and quite broken, as a result I've had many doctors over the years and this is one of my all-time favorites. Excellent bedside/chair-side manner. As far as I'm concerned doctor Abuzeid should be considered to be a national treasure. His subject expertise and knowledge run deep, and his curiosity and determination to make things "All better" put him in category of doctors that actually make a difference in their patients lives. I'm better for having him in my corner.

Dr Abuzeid is an amazing physician. The only outside is the difficulty getting a regular appointment with him. His appointments were scheduling 3 months out. Thank goodness I was able to see his PA who saw me for a severe sinus infection within a week and a half. She is also an excellent provider.
At every possible touchpoint my care was exceptional! The nurse who brought me into the room and gathered my info remembered me from previous visits and asked about my family. And Dr A is simply exceptional. I could not imagine a more caring thoughtfgul and talented physician
