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.

Dr. Najam is an exceptional surgeon who demonstrates a high level of skill, expertise, and care for his patients. From the initial consultation to the post-surgery follow-up appointments, Dr. Najam was thorough, attentive, and compassionate.Dr. Najam took the time to explain the surgical procedure, answer all my questions, and address any concerns I had. He made sure that I was fully informed about the risks, benefits, and alternatives of the surgery, and he involved me in the decision-making process. During the surgery, Dr. Najam demonstrated a high level of precision and attention to detail, which resulted in a successful outcome. He also made sure that I was comfortable and well-informed during the recovery process, and he provided me with clear instructions and resources to support.His team isThe Greatest

Dr. Najam saved my life by putting me on ECMO 10 years ago, when it was an experimental procedure for adults, and I had only a 20% survival chance. He is a wonderful man & gave me every support. My most recent stress test (April 2017) shows ejection fraction of 62 for exercise and 54 at rest. No other effects were evident, except for the original 2008 scarring. I have not needed to see him in the intervening decade. What more can I say?

Horrible. Dr. Najam is a self important, conceited man. No matter the close relationship of your family, if you are not "blood, or natural issue" you are NOTHING to him. My dad lost all trust & confidence in him. We, my dad & family, believe my dad was used as a teaching subject for students. Not as a human. He had too much damage for recovery. My dad's voice was not considered. He died of flesh eating bacteria after 80 days in ICU. His health POA papers found I was able stop his torture.
