I would never return to this doctor and if you are a woman with weight loss or menopausal concerns he will not help you at all. Run far away from this doctor. I felt disrespected and furious after my appointment.

I'm 48 years old, and I've seen my share of Dr's. This Dr. is without a doubt the poorest excuse for a Dr. that I've ever been seen by. I don't normally take time out of my day to rate a service or a person's service, but I think anyone considering seeing this Dr should have fair warning. Find another Dr. to be treated by, ANY OTHER Dr. will treat you with more respect, kindness, patience and humility.

Dr. Hassan is an innovative doctor , he is not for everyone. He is for those people who want to take control of their health through preventative measures., such as eating healthy and exercising. I personally am anti medication and prefer to eat healthy and exercise. However, many people prefer to take a pill. Many people don't want to change their eating habits and find it easier to take medication. There are many new documentaries and books out there such as Forks over Knives, if you are interested in taking control of your health, then I highly recommend Dr. Hassan.

Dr. Hassan didn't seem to listen to me. He told me about his father inlaw who has a addiction problem and how I am in the worst shape out of all his 34 year old patience though he did not give me a physical. He then told me it is my fault for how unhealthy I am and how it is the American culture to blame. I was also advised by the doctor on how I should not work so much and stress because life is not about money. I have a wife and three children that depend on me to provide a good life for them and I don't need a doctor to tell me what should not be important to me.

I'll let my injury run its course before going back to this doctor. He was cold and condescending. I may not be the healthiest guy in town. But this arrogant doctor gave me zero motivation to change that.

He went overboard with checks (huge bills) that were not needed. He was clueless about the cause of the pain even though it was just a muscular strain that other more experienced doctors could have diagnosed in five minutes and treated with an anti-inflammatory. I am now stuck with huge bills for nothing. I won't go back to this doctor.
