I think that it is widely known how absolutely wonderful and caring of a person Dr. Ghanayem is. The staff care our son received while under her direction is without a doubt the best care he had ever received for his heart condition. Dr. Ghanayem on several occasions went above and beyond to make sure our son was comfortable. While we received excellent care from everyone involved, Dr. Ghanayems care and compassion stood out above all of the others.

Dr. Ghanayem is the most amazing doctor I have ever encountered. Anyone who says that she isn't, doesn't really know her. I have never met a doctor as compassionate as her. If you have a heart baby, this is THE DOCTOR you want taking care of your child. There is no doubt in my mind that that she is the right doctor for the job.

If you have a sick child, like I did, with a heart condition there is no one else that you should go to. This woman is an amazing person, doctor, and now a friend.

She was rude to staff in front of us which made us feel extremely uncomfortable.

She's a rock star. She cared for our son through three open heart surgeries like it was her own child. I would want no one other than Nancy looking out for him if we had to do it all over again.
