I have usually been very satisfied with this provider, but the newer doctor I saw recently just told me to get an over- the- counter medicine. This did no good and I had to call again. This time my regular doctor called in a prescription for me.

This was my first time seeing this provider for a yearly well visit and compared to my previous doctor. The exam was not thorough at all. We had some brief conversation and that's all he did was listen to my breath sounds and heart with stethoscope. He didn't look in my ears, mouth or eyes, he did not palpate my abdomen, and he did not do a testicular exam all of which were done yearly from my previous PCP. I just felt like the physical was extremely brief and subpar.

This was my first appointment with Dr. Ghannam. My former primary care physician, [redacted], retired last year. It was clear to me that Dr. Ghannam reviewed my medical history thoroughly prior to my visit. He was well aware of my medications and my history of surgeries and medical conditions. Dr. Ghannam spent a long time with me reviewing my medications and present medical concerns. He was concerned about my elevated blood pressure, and made an adjustment to my medication [redacted]. He alerted me about possible side effects to become aware of, and to call him immediately, if I experienced any side effects. I am very happy that Dr. Ghannam will now be my primary care physician. He is patient, caring , thorough, and very knowledgeable.
