Patient Testimonials

Dr. Rashid was understanding and explained everything thoroughly, and the entire staff, from reception to nursing, was caring every step of the way. Recovery from PAE took some patience, but I’ve been able to return to my regular activities. The results are well worth the short-term recovery. I’d highly recommend Dr. Rashid and this facility to anyone dealing with symptoms like mine.

Dr. Rashid was incredibly friendly, easygoing, and reassuring from the very first consultation. He took the time to explain everything in terms I could understand and made me feel comfortable throughout the entire process. After struggling with the same urologic issue for more than 10 years and seeing multiple specialists, this procedure finally relieved my symptoms. I’m grateful for Dr. Rashid’s expertise and would absolutely recommend him to others.

I couldn’t urinate independently, but now I’m sleeping through the night and not having to wake up multiple times in the night to urinate! Dr. Rashid was very understanding, the procedure did not take long, the entire staff was great, and everything was very well organized.
