    Over the 3 or 4 years I've been dealing with this ... Dr. Ansari is the second provider {I've seen several} that has shown interest and actually seemed to care to find out what is going on ... everyone else wanted to go to preventive things and not listen and care for my present concerns. Thankyou, Dr.Ansari ..! I sincerely believe you have saved my life Kathi Clark
