Patient Reviews
Feb 02, 2018
Dr Al-Issa has been great doctor. He has been able to diagnose our son Eosinophilic Esophagitis and abdominal migraines. He really listens to the parents input, concerns and observations. He has called me personally three times to discuss test results and to discuss treatment options. His nurse is awesome too. They always get back to me in a timely manner. I highly recommend him.

What’s a board certification and why is it important that my provider has one?
