I am so grateful to Dr. Abou-harb. My daughter saw him for a possible [...] issue, and he very honestly explained that he did not think her problem was a [...] issue. He then explained what other physical and mental problems can present themselves as [...] issues. I felt like he took extra time talking to my daughter to reassure her that she was being cared for, and not just shuffled off to another specialist. He also asked her what she felt might be causing her problems, which made her think about her own health. Dr. Abou-harb truly treated the "whole person." Since her appointment with him, my daughter has begun to notice stressors in her life, and I believe she is now on the correct path to finding the root of the problem, instead of only treating symptoms. Isn't that the very definition of healing? Many, many thanks to Dr. Abou-harb for speaking honestly, for being reassuring, for taking the time to really listen to my daughter.

Dr. always listens, is compassionate, and interacts with the minor patients very well. Some providers don't include them, even though they are the patient. Also, calling in now to talk to a nurse is AMAZING, before it would take literally 2 days. Good job fixing that.

Dr. Abou-Harb has provided exceptional care and advocacy for me over the past 10 years, as had his team.

I was impressed with his ability to communicate without upsetting my daughter with psychological challenges, but he does come across as arrogant and condescending.

This is a provider we have seen for 9+ years. He often will not listen to my concerns in a way that helps me to understand what I have to say matters I often times cannot get anything done over the phone. At time of last visit Madelyn was in the ED 2 times for extreme gagging (has a fundo). She could not tolerate hardly any fluid through her GT. When I phone his office the first time he did not have openings. As she continued to progress I called his office a 2nd time requesting an apt. or suggestions he had that may require testing. I did not hear from his nurse until 3-4 days later. At that time I had already had an apt. scheduled for the next day. As a mom who advocates for what her daughter needs I don't have a problem advocating for her with him. I often still do not get anywhere and have sought other medical attention outside this hospital. He comes off very arrogant and has made negative comments about other providers. I do feel I have worked as well as possible with him to get Madelyn's needs met. I usually do not rate him on these forms, but after this last time with a very ill daughter and no response from him I am frustrated. We also see several other providers in this children's hospital. Dr. McCarthy one of the busiest providers will have his nurse return a call within 1-2 hours & always through with a plan. Dr. Chan is the same and will often call me personally due to the complex medical needs.
