Dr Hashim was wonderful in easing my fears and offering thorough explanations of the proposed procedure he recommended. He took the time to include my wife in our discussion as well.

Loved Dr. Hashim! He was careful to ensure I knew why I was there and what I need to have surgically repaired. He even included my daughter to answer her questions during the appointment. Dr Hashim was kind and thorough in explaining to my husband how long my recovery will take.

Doctor was holding something below top of desk level, at which he was constantly looking. It looked to me as if he was texting during my visit. Dr. Hashim is a very busy man, I'm sure, but still it was disconcerting and degraded my consultation time with him.

I can not say enough good things about him and his team .They were all comforting and caring from the start . I highly recommend Dr. Hashim he is an outstanding doctor who saved my life and I will be forever grateful. I would also like to say thank you to his nurse Sue who walked me through every step. She is so kind ,caring and knowledgeable She always responded to my questions with respect even if it was a silly one even when my surgery was over and believe me I always had a question . I was blessed to have such a caring team.

It was great meeting and talking to Dr. Hashim. In talking to him, his expertise as a mitral valve specialist shined through. I know I am in good hands with Dr. Hashim.
