Dr. Mohamed is everything and more that you need when faced with major lung surgery! He is very compassionate, thoughtful, thorough, moreover skilled and professional! He never rushed my visits, and listened with concern and addressed my every need and concern. He saw me everyday during my 6 day hospital stay and was available to nurses 24 hours daily. He always had a smile! Thank you, Dr. Mohamed!
