From my call to Mala (receptionist) until I left doctor's office has been an experience of care, warmth and professionalism of the highest level. You are given attention to all times and all patients are treated with equality. Dr Moola is a very humbled, caring human being who always puts your health and wellbeing at the forefront of your visit. He compliments Dr Jasoob very well and this is very assuring. Very difficult to find this quality of service in our communities today. Thank you very much for your service delivery of excellence. It is gratifying to be associated with Doctors of this calibre in today's times we live it. Keep up the excellent service.

My daughter had chickenpox and we got to Dr Joosab just as he was leaving. The office was already closed but when I asked him to please confirm it was chickenpox he went out of his way to accommodate us. He even walked us to the Pharmacy to prescribe the medication my daughter and I could get with his discount. My wife offered to pay and he refused. Absolutely recommended him. He is a good Doctor but a better human first. Something most Dr's forget is important. Thank you Dr Joosab

He's a doctor. He's a good doctor. He's just not any doctor, he is a special doctor. A doctor good with good ethics, a doctor with a moral compass, a doctor for humanity. Is he skilled, wow he is skilled as though he was meant to do this for the people. Is he good with children, you bet he is. This is a naturally talented doctor at the very top of his profession with good character, they call him doctor, Doctor Yakoob Joosab! A breath of fresh air and simple, remember in simplicity there's contentment.
