This Dr. is the worst I have ever had. She has no compassion, feels like she is God and does everything in her power to hurt people. If you want to live, don't see this supposed "DR"

Dr. Hanif unfortunately treated my Mother at Christ Hospital in Oaklawn. Her bedside manner was rude, curt and condescending. When the family tried to get clairification or understanding, she dismissed our questions and refused to talk to all of the siblings at once. She was impatient and I hope another family will not have to endure her unprofessionalism.

horrible bedside manner. Doesn't agree with other doctors and turns out she was the one who was wrong. I wouldn't recommend her to an animal.

It is very poor when a physician comes in to meet a patient, sits down in the chair and proceeds to put her feet on the patient's bed. Horrible bedside manner. Tried to override orders from the surgeon on the case. I wish quarter stars were available for rating....a full star is over-rated.

I would not recommend this doctor to anyone. Poor bedside manner and not very knowledgeable in the pulmonary field.
