Office personnel were very attentive and apologized for wait (which was not long compared to other offices). PA was very friendly and listened to my complaints even though they didn't necessarily pertain to my issue. Dr came right in and put me at ease. Upon leaving, office staff was very polite and asked how my visit went. Took me off guard!!!

He said he couldn't help me and wanted to refer me to a different dr. And he Wanted me to start physical therapy to help strengthen my back muscles. I was sad he couldn't help me because I really liked him. On My way out he said I didn't have to rush off. He said he was in no hurry and had plenty of time to answer any questions I might have. I liked that he said that.

The doctor seemed disengaged and was not interested in hearing any historical details regarding my leg and back pain. When I started to tell him, he stopped me and only wanted to know how I was doing at present. I was able to tell him about my back pain, but I wasn't able to fully discuss the occasional pain in my leg and posterior. Only mentioned to him that I sometimes experience numbness in my leg. He did not offer to give me a prescription for pain and I was a bit rattled and forgot to ask. He just said that he would order rehab and pain management for me. I'm not sure how long it will take to get that set up. His physician's assistant that I'd seen a few weeks before was outstanding. But I did not believe that Dr Ilyas was concerned about me and the ordeal I've been going through. It seemed that he had somewhere more important to be.

Very detailed and is able to provide answers when asked. Is willing to guide you through the process (in my case surgery). He is very confident and that alone provided a measure of peace for due to the type of surgery required. Dr. Ilyas is very knowledgeable and answered every question and concern. I wish there were more doctors like him. I didn't expect the quality of care I received because he is a surgeon, and surgeons tend to stay very busy. Dr. Ilyas is a not only an Exceptional and Outstanding Doctor but a great person too!
