  “I’ve never had any major medical issues in my entire life. I began to have problems with my leg and couldn’t walk very long distances without pain. My primary care physician recommended I go to Dr. Khatib. He checked it out and found that I had clogged arteries in my left and right leg. I had stents put in my left leg and an angioplasty in my right leg. Since that time, I’ve been walking fine. My progress is doing great. The staff is very good. They always try to work around my schedule. He’s a very caring physician. At the time I was smoking. We had some conversations about that. He wasn’t judgmental. He explained to me it was in my best interest to stop smoking and I’ve been without cigarettes for a year now thanks to Dr. Khatib.”
