Dr. Kasim is an excellent specialist, she evaluates and address the issue. I am pain free, with full movement and use of my arm that I tried everything for years to make it better. Thank You Doctor Kasim!
She’s the best. In particular: her surgical skills are so good that after two shoulder replacements, I barely needed post op pain medication.
Very successful shoulder surgery.

She is so friendly and professional. Very talented surgeon.
Listened with compassion, Then explained choices.
Helpful, informative and clearly explained my situation.
Great outcome; no surgery or PT. Dr. Kasim is knowledgeable and engaging. Very happy I won’t be needing her surgery expertise. Better luck next time.
Kind, thorough and professional
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.
