Initial meeting was a little rough, but Dr. Haider took the time to really listen to me until he understood what my perspective, experience and training (in healthcare) was. He was reasonable, empathetic, and able to move past pre-conceived notions that often come with working in healthcare. As I'm a healthcare provider also, I certainly understand and am appreciative he took the time to negotiate the the best care for me. Thank you Dr. Haider!
