"I cannot recommend Dr Gorges Firas highly enough. From the moment I walked in, I was treated with the utmost courtesy and respect. Dr Firas takes the time to listen carefully, explain everything thoroughly, and answer every question with patience and clarity. It's rare to find a doctor who combines such deep medical knowledge with genuine compassion and kindness. I always leave the office feeling confident in the care I've received and grateful to have such a dedicated professional looking after my health. Truly outstanding in every way
