Patient Reviews
Aug 01, 2023
What stood out in my visit was the excellent customer service. The support staff were very kind and showed a lot of empathy. They even had beverages to offer. Dr. Afflu is very compassionate, thorough, and attentive to details. He has a great sense of humor, which keeps one at ease to discuss with him. He is very patient. He is my family doctor. In fact, my mom wouldn't see any other cardiologist if not Dr. Afflu. I will always recommend him to friends and other persons with cardiac issues. He is a very well-experienced cardiologist.
