    As always Dr. Aslam was very compassionate, she extended her condolences regarding the death of my dad. I consider Dr. Aslam not just my doctor, but my friend. She is interested in my health 100 percent. She is an excellent listener and she is firm at times when she needs to get my attention. I truly appreciate Dr. Aslam for taking care of me for so many years and I look forward to many more years with this doctor/patient relationship because of such awesome care she provides.I had a student (I believe her name was Mina, hope I remembered correctly) exam me also today for my annual physical. She was so personable and had excellent bedside manners, great listener. I really appreciate seeing this type of shadowing with a top notch Doctor. She's going to make a great Doctor soon. The nurse that administered the pneumonia shot (didn't catch her name) give an excellent stick!My nurse that called me in from the waiting room was very cordial and patient as she waited for me to unload all my keys, wallet, shoes as much weight as I could shed before getting on the scale. I need my weight as low as possible or I am going to be in major trouble from Dr. Aslam .The nurse who performed the EKG was so personable and pleasant.The receptionist was greeted me and offered assistance where needed to check in.The on-site phlebotomist was welcoming and provided an excellent stick and made sure all of the tubes were labeled correctly by asking me to review.And last but not least, behind the scene Mandy. Mandy is always taking excellent care of me monitoring my chart and communicating between Dr. Aslam and myself.This office runs like a well oiled machine and I am grateful to be a part of it!
