My visit was extremely smooth from the speeded up appointment convenience through the entire visit. There were medical reasons to see Dr. Hentati sooner than original appointment. As always reception and vitals-taking staff was efficient and courteous. Dr. Hentati had reviewed an MRI, other recent medical history of mine, and he listened intently while recording details. His personal concern is evident to me. I am grateful each time I meet with him. His openness and frank appraisal are very much appreciated.

July 31, 2025
Dr. Hentati is engaged, caring, does not discriminate or judge based off of appearance(the same cannot be said about others I have interacted with within Northshore Emergency dept. Tattoos and long beards should not be looked at as someone who is a drug seeker).He provides expertise about questions I have about other possible MS medications and has become a trusted doctor since meeting him five years ago when he diagnosed my condition. He is kind, funny, and is a delight to chat with.

Dr Hentati is an amazing physician. He goes above and beyond. He is not afraid to challenge me when I am off track. He balances constructive feedback with support. I know that he cares about my health even when he has to give tough feedback. This is not an easy balance to strike but he does it so well. I deeply appreciate him. Please feel free to share this with him. He pushed me a little in our last visit about my weight. I think he feels he went too far but he didn't and I am grateful!
