Dr. Kasim was very polite and professional. She answered all of my questions and put me at ease. In addition, I requested a purple cast and she and her staff were diligent in searching for the purple casting material.
As a 1st time patient she made an absolute professional and confident impression. Engaged & empathic as I explained my history of being injured while serving in the USAF in Iraq. Thoroughly explained her impression of the condition of my shoulder and although I too am a clinician, Dr Kasim showed her patience by taking time to not assume the extent of my medical/surgical experience but spent time explaining her plan of care to me. Excellent impression!
Dr Kasim was very helpful and provided very clear information about my treatment options . Very helpful, I’m looking forward to learning more.
I dont doubt the professionalism of the Doctor. And she tested me and told me what was my problem in her opinion, but overall the appointment felt very very rushed. She was with me literally 5 minutes and was rushing away, I didn’t have enough time to process what she was saying and couldn’t ask additional questions. May be it is a policy of the facility, that Doctors must rush so much that they have only 5 minutes for a patient. It seems very inconsiderate, knowing how much does the doctors visit cost. Its strange that you have a doctor for 5 minutes only and you feel stressed and rushed seeing how doctor is rushed. I think that Doctors must ask at least a question: “do you have any questions?”, “is everything clear?”. I was disappointed with such attitude, even if doctor is 200% sure sbout diagnosis, she must have time for patient questions.
She is very personable and explains things in normal talk so it’s understood. She not taking any unnecessary risks that I don’t need
I LOVE Dr. Kasim. She is knowledgeable, caring, and brilliant. She spends as time explaining everything and answering all my questions.
Dr Kasim took time out of her busy schedule to get me into her office for an appointment the same week I called. Her service was professional and I clearly understood what the plan was moving forward. Thanks again!
She’s prettier than this picture. But more importantly, I think she’s very competent and makes patients feel comfortable.
Dr. Kasim is very thoughtful & considerate, wanting to do what’s best for me.
Excellent surgeon. Provides comprehensive explanation of condition and solutions. Her written reports provided to the patient are very helpful.
