Every person from the receptionist to Dr Hashim was courteous, welcoming, and knowledgeable. There was not one question that was left unanswered. I left feeling very confident in the care that the nurses and Dr. Hashim will provide.

Dr Hashim did my AVR on 1/24/24. During my consult he was very compassionate & confident which I liked. I am ever so grateful to my referring cardiologist and Dr Hashim for all that they have done. Him and his team were absolutely amazing.
