As a lady I am happy to see her go from University of Pennsylvania. I have been to many lady doctors but this is my first female neurologist I went to, as there was no female neurologist willing to take me. I felt worse after going to her, not physically all the way but mentally. Half the illness is in the mind, and if the doctor gives you releif mentally, then the stress of even something as bad as cancer may help you heal or even cope- she has to realize this!

I needed a female neuro as I am a lady myself. Very saddening and went to another female neuro when I found a better. She thinks she is superior and treats her colleagues and coworkers like as they don't exist, has forgotten them. I am glad I went to another doctor. Finally a referral to a stroke rehab doc happend!

Needs to learn manners. Thinks knowledge can make her a better doc. Totally rude and uncaring person plus ignorant. I would not recommend her based on my own experience. Ratings speak for themselves as to what kind of doc she is. Docs whom I thought were really stupid in Al Hammad Medical Corporation were more polite than this one.

This doctor is a complete liar. She claimed she knows Urdu and does not know it as far as fluency is concerned. We brought her for continuing treatment and ran into this jerk. I received much better treatment at King Faisal Specialist Hospital and Research Center for her condition and the doctor happend to be trained in Canada; strangely the Saudi doctor spoke Urdu quite fluently which was ashame as a doctor having gone to medical school in Pakistan could not speak, read or write Urdu but in an Arabic speaking country a local can. If this doctor lies about language fluency, kindly make note of how terrible a doctor you can imagine she is.
