Dr. Samman is by far the most brilliant doctor I I have ever encountered . He saved my life several years ago when no one else could find out what was wrong. He is caring and compassionate . He cares about me and my family and my health . No other doctor could ever be put as high on my pedestals as him. If you need a respectable intelligent doctor who can work miracles then Doctor Samman is the doctor for you I absolutely love this man and thank God everyday he sent him to me I also appreciate his nurse Jeanie Willard she is so thorough and never misses a beat. She is very friendly and theese two make an awesome duo in the office. Curios to Carol Barnes as well his other nurse a blessing to have them work together and for me and my health
