I was very very happy with Dr. Atiq I had been in touch. I've been with him and I all my life to him and UMAS. I did not mean to press 2's at the beginning. It should be all like gold stars and I will highly recommend Dr. Atiq and his staff Dr. [NAME] his staff and all the other doctors I've dealt with and I was training with respect Infusion One took my blood and they were like right on time and make sure I got to Dr. Atiq on time and then is of course that staff always treats me everybody just treated me was so much respect and I trust on top of that which is just a bonus. I completely trust them with my life. And I don't think there's a lot of people that I can.
