How likely are you to recommend Dr. Abdessalam?
In 2014, my son was 2 and he had to have major surgery. As a single mom, I was given choices, non I knew nothing about, regarding this surgery. Dr. Abdessalam and God helped guide me, in making the right decisions about my son' s surgery. I still get emotional thinking about this time in my life. We were truly blessed with the best surgeon. He was thorough, honest, and so helpful to both my son and I through this difficult time. I was definitely not expecting him and his team to take care of me too and they did, I didn't even have to ask! He also did extra tests to make sure my son could through the surgery we choose from the options given to us. He had a back up plan, and I remember him being so confident. He definitely knows what he is doing. He also did so good that you can't even tell that my son had surgery. Looks like a normal little boy. The doctor also gave us life permission to be seen by him with no referral if Caleb ever has any issues related to this surgery.
