Recommends Available Friendly Professional Knowledgeable Understandable Reachable Helpful StaffOn the occasion of meeting Dr. Tamim, my husband had been transported to the hospital to have open heart surgery. It was unexpected and quite frankly, scary. Dr. Tamims' comportment when he met with us in the pre-operative stage was not only open and friendly, but also very informative. He explained the entire procedure, the length of time for the operation, and what to anticipate afterward. He instilled in us the confidence not to worry, and most importantly that upon completion of the operation, my husband would be better than he was and had been for some time. I must interject that up to this point we had no idea who he was or what to expect of the situation we found ourselves in. His composure and demeanor, the complete professional and friendly way he treated us instilled a great confidence in two very worried people. It is in my most humble opinion, Dr. Tamim is as good as his word. He saved my husbands life and improved his quality of life as well. There are no greater words to say, except the two that matter most; Thank you.
