Very good visit. Explains everything.
I think I was referred to this Dr. because of my ins at the time which was BC HMO. My coverage has changed and now I have BC PPO. I can change Dr's at this if I want because I no longer need referral from a primary care physician. But I do not think I will do that. I very happy with the services I have been receiving under his care and feel I have made quite an improvement. Still a long way to go but feel I am finally getting a handle on my disease after 17 years. Sad to say the Dr. who referred to me Dr. I will not be using her anymore. Was not happy at the last visit. I wish had been seeing this Dr. years ago and maybe I would be in better condition. Better late than never. Thanks for allowing to complete this survey

Excellent provider. Saved my life twelve years ago.
I am 3 years post kidney transplant. Having just moved to Oswego from California, I needed a local Nefrologist to continue monitoring my kidney functions and anti-rejection medications. Dr. Atif is close to where I live and is highly qualified in his field. It was a pleasure to meet with him and lay the groundwork for a long term relationship.
I had an appointment the week before and that was canceled. For this appointment, the doctor was over an hour late.
