I have been seeing Maria Zuberi for nearly a year now, and she has been nothing short of incredible. She is compassionate, attentive, and truly cares about her patients. That said, she doesn’t sugarcoat things, she knows when difficult conversations need to happen and navigates them with honesty and empathy.
