Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

I want to transport her to Georgia where I live!
I went to see Dr. Hamed bc my best friend couldn't stop raving about her. Dr Hameed was patient, listened to everything I said about my condition- was realistic with me regarding possible treatment during my short stay in NY. She gave me the name of a colleague in Ga. to follow up with that she believes would be a good fit. But during my visit with her she gave me several recommendations of ways to prevent my aching knee from hurting . I would love to have gotten the hyaluronic acid injections from her bc I've been told of how gentle yet effective she is. But given the short time frame of my visit in NY- not possible. She explained why walking is so painful to me and showed me a brace that could help take some of the weight off my aching knee. I will be sure to ask for it from the physiologist she recommened. With her calm, confident way of dealing with me- I wish I could move her to Ga and be followed up by her there.

Wonderful Doctor
I went for a backache, which was muscular Dr. Hameed was very comforting and gave me exercises to help stretch my muscles and also a muscle relaxer to help with my recovery. I’ve been going to her for about five years now and she is absolutely a very compassionate, caring Dr., which is exactly what you want. I would recommend her to anybody & everybody.

Dr. Hameed is Wonderful!
I saw Dr. Hameed for a knee injury and she was so wonderful. She was very thorough in her exam and explained each step before doing it. She made sure that any questions I had were answered before I left the appointment. I am referring her to everyone I know.

Excellent visit
Dr Hameed explained everything clearly to me and outlined treatment options. She was patient and took extra time with all my questions along with showing me my mri and what’s going on in my spine. She did a thorough exam and I got much more information than from my previous two doctors. I feel good about switching my care to her and hopeful that we are on the right track.

Office visit with Dr. Hameed
I was very impressed with Dr. Hameed. First, I didn't have to wait long for our appointment - She was very thoughtful and listened to all of my concerns. She had some ideas for helping me with my condition besides injections but uncharacteristically scheduled me for an injection appointment as I was sitting with her . I cannot say enough good things about her at this time. I didn't feel rushed either - she took her time with me which is highly unusual.

Dr. Hameed knows her business. She not only asks questions, but answers them, and is very good at articulating and explaining her diagnosis, as well as going over in detail options and recommendations. She wants to do whatever she can to improve as much as possible whatever's ailing you. Last, but not at all least, she has a very pleasant manner.
