I had been sick for approx 3 years looking for a diagnosis. No one could figure out my issue. I went from doctor appointments to another. No diagnosis. I eventually lost 80 lbs due to not being able to eat and put in the hospital. (Presby Plano) I even had to have a blood transfusion. No one knew how I was still walking. I was told I could collapse at any moment. I was scared crazy and out of my mine with fear. This is where I was diagnosed by Dr. Hasan. He saved my life! Thank you Dr. Hasan and Staff!

Dr. Brown and Megan are awesome! I've been seeing them for several years and referred others to their practice. Anytime I've needed anything or had questions regarding my care they are addressed promptly and professionally. I would not trust my care to anyone else.

Dr, Magee is very personable and attentive. I feel comfortable talking to him about any issues. He presents information in a way that is easy to understand. The office and medical staff are most welcoming and they all seem to have a great rapport. I highly recommend Dr. Magee.

My experience from start to finish was excellent. The staff that attended to me getting me ready for prep were awesome! Ashley, Traci, Sarah, Marcus and I think Alan who assisted Marcus in hooking me up. If I misspelled a name or left someone out please forgive me I can blame it on the drugs. I had never met Dr. Kumaravel my first time seeing her as a patient. She was very kind, professional and patient with making me feel very comfortable. She let me talk answered my questions with a beautiful smile under the mask with her eyes. They were gentle with me and I felt like I was in good hands. Hard to feel that way when you are going for any procedure at the doctor's. When I awaken it was over and I actually didn't feel like I had a procedure done. Great Doctor! Sarah
