My mother and I have been overseen by Dr Rahman for over 7 years. He is incredibly professional, kind and very communicative. His bedside manner is one of an angel and I am not embellishing that at all. His staff is wonderful and very communicative. In the 7 years that he has been the GI Dr for my mother and I.......he has NEVER EVER skipped a beat.

I met Dr. Rahman at Mission Hospital when there for an emergency 2017. I found him to be VERY caring, pleasant & thorough. He is thoughtful, LISTENS to you (which seems to be a rarity these days) and follows up on your care and situation. I have been very impressed and have used him ever since . Would highly recommend!!

DR Rahman was prompt, professional and kind. He spent ample time with me gathering information regarding my symptoms and set followup appointments and referrals rapidly. My colonoscopy when smoothly and efficiently. If you need a GI, you've come to the right place.
