I am very grateful to Dr. Lubabatu Abdurrahman for her patience in explaining everything to us about my baby's heart. She gave us a lot of peace of mind and the doctor's assistant who performed the ultrasound was also very professional. Blessings to them!

Our daughter was seen with the most care. This is the exceptional visit. Her doctor was the best we've seen as far as being personable, understandable, setting us at ease, explaining things. I would recommend her to anyone who needs to send their child to the cardiology department. 10 out of 10.

The doctor provided information to me that I previously didn't know about POTS and MVP.
