The wait time was minimal, Dr. Ghanem’s (and his staff’s) bedside manner were superb. I underwent a not so common clinical procedure, felt comfortable, safe, and in good hands throughout. A couple of days after the procedure, Dr. Ghanem personally contacted, to inquiry about how things were going. I am very appreciative of Dr. Ghanem’s knowledge, experience, and compassion.

This man is unprofessional and uncaring about the pain his incompetence causes. He is more worried about the possibility of malpractice than the welfare of his patients. I would never recommend this fool and truly believe he should not be allowed to practice medicine.
