Dr Tawfik is the best. I was sad and concerned when Dr Labadie left. I even traveled to see him in SC once; however, Dr Tawfik has filled his shoes effortlessly. Dr Tawfik has a great beside manner and is very knowledgeable.

Another doctor who said she was working with Dr T started asking me questions then Dr T came in and started asking me questions, I didn't like this- I had to repeat myself and wasn't sure about continuity
