Doctor showed empathy, seemed to care, and thoroughly explained options. He is new so it was clear that he was trying to navigate the system.Post appointment care:I do have a complaint about post appointment care. I had a medical problem (blood in urine and pain) shortly after I saw Dr. Khater andmessaged the portal 3 times but doctor didn't respond. A nurse gave a brief response minimizing the symptoms but no response to my numerous follow up questions when I tried to get a follow up appointment or any clinical guidance.That lack of professionalism falls on Dr. Khater.

Dr. Khater was easy to talk to and gave more options than I thought were possible. He's a keeper. LSU's loss is Emory's gain.
