Review for Dr. Zaher
I see Dr. Nathan for my many health problems like osteoporosis and hyper tension. He's amazing. He don't judge me but tells me how I can help myself. I never eat lots of milk so now I have problems. But he listens and don't judge me so I can tell him everything and feel comfortable. Carmen
