Dr. Yasmin Feroz Qasim, MD

Welcome to my home page, I feel very fortunate to work at Kaiser Permanente. Our professional staff, all members of the department of pathology, are available to discuss your test results. Our goal is not only to serve as a reference laboratory for basic clinical pathology services, but provide highly specific pathology diagnostic services. BiographyThe decision to become a doctor is a very personal one. My interest in medicine comes from my family, in particular my father. Since childhood he had always instilled in me the love of learning about health, taking care of people, and giving help and support to others in their time of need. Choosing Kaiser Permanente to practice was an easy choice; here I can focus on the practice of my skills and not have to worry about the business aspects. I chose pathology as a specialty because it involves deep understanding of the disease and its diagnosis. In trying to reach a diagnosis, I hope to feel that I have made a positive difference in the …treatment of our members. My outside interests include broadcasting, and I am a radio disc jockey. I also volunteer in many social welfare organizations, such as the Human Development Foundation of North America, and cultural organizations, such as SPNA. I also enjoy traveling.About my practiceI am here to help in your care; I believe that it is a great opportunity, responsibility, and obligation to become a physician. In providing care to the suffering, we need technical skill, scientific knowledge, and human understanding. Our team here at Bellflower Medical Center uses these along with courage, humility, and wisdom to provide a unique pathology service for our members. At the end of each practice day, I always try to make a positive difference in my patient's lives.How I thriveEvidence shows that some of the leading ailments--such as heart disease, cancer, stroke, and lung diseases--can often be prevented by improving personal health habits. Eating right, staying physically active, regular exercise, and not smoking are a few examples of good habits that I have incorporated in my daily life to stay healthy.
