03 — Patient Stories
A skilled and creative doctor with a kind heart! He performed brain surgery on my father, and it was successful thanks to God and Dr. Zuhair. His care and follow-up after the surgery were just as attentive as before. He treated us as human beings, unlike many doctors who often act like businessmen.
Maher AmairyhPatient
