I have been seeing Dr. Abdelmessieh for almost 7 years. He is an exceptional physician and human being. I truly believe I am alive today because of his ability to think outside the box and design a treatment plan that was effective for me. Dr. Abdelmessieh has the rare combination of excellent bedside manner and medical knowledge. Fox Chase is lucky to have him.
