Just observe hygiene.Thanks
Okay, so he was amazing. He was very thorough. The reason he didn't wash his hands was because he did not have to physically touch her. He was using the x-rays and the MRIs to explain her condition and to tell us about the future procedures or steps to help with her problem. So, yes, he's a wonderful doctor. We got him from recommendations, by the way, and we would definitely recommend him. She has a surgery with him on February. Hopefully by that time I can provide better survey evaluation.
The Dr provided me a good understanding of my issue.
Everybody was very nice, professional, and informative. And it was an overall very good experience. Thank you.
Dr. Hashmi has performed spine surgery on me twice. The first surgery went so well, I had no hesitation when it came to the second time. Once again, Dr. Hashmi was great, met and spoke with me everyday I was in the hospital (5) including Thanksgiving day. He always explains things very clearly and answers all of my questions. Talented and skilled professional with a great bedside manner. I'm not halfway through my recovery so I'm still in quite a bit of pain but I'm expecting nothing but great results from Dr. Hashmi's work.
