Was afraid to return to this practice due to a previous experience in 2010. Dr. Kheder was very personable. He listened to me and my concerns about my seizures . Provided clear steps for my treatment plan.

Everyone was fantastic from office staff, to Victor to Dr. Kheder. Dr. Kheder was thorough in his exam, listened to my health concerns while allowing my input, and explained everything in a manner that was scientific but also at a level that was understandable. He created an action plan for the symptoms I have been experiencing and how we will work on a diagnosis. This is the first healthcare provider in a long time who has not written me off. Thank you so much.

I have had migraines all my life and many people have tossed my worries aside. I thought there was nothing I could do to find treatment, but Dr. Kheder has given me the push I needed to keep trying. Hopefully, together we are able to finally find answers to the cause of my migraines and ways to treat them. I'm extremely grateful and excited to be working with Dr. Kheder for my care.

I had my first appointment at this practice changed 4 times. It was not a very good first impression. Fortunately, my appointment with Dr. Kheder went better than I was expecting. I'll be back in 3 months for a recheck and hopefully it will be a better experience.
