Dr. Rifat Hassan, MD

Dr. Hassan is a great Doctor. She’s very caring and listens to all my concerns.

I relocated from Atlanta here just prior to the pandemic. Had a mild heart attack and needed a primary care physician after being released from cardiac care. Was referred by a colleague to Hassan. I’m usually a healthy person until the stress of the pandemic. First visit was okay, but not too warm. When I went for my annual visit she accused me of being on drugs, said I was obese at 242lbs and was very rude; worst bedside manners I have seen. Last year, she was insulted because I had seen my cardiologist more than her…until I’m released from his care, what else would I do…duh! Then asked me “Why are you here?” This year my annual visit was canceled twice without notice, then rescheduled because she was going on a trip. If I hadn’t looked at Mychart I would’ve never known! I wouldn’t refer my worst enemy to her!!

She always listens, and reviews your history before coming in! Always makes sure to answer questions! Just a nice thorough Dr.

I have never felt more upset after leaving a doctors appointment. I went to establish care and talk about meds and my thyroid levels. Dr.Hassan definitely did not look at my chart before coming in and quickly told me I needed to lose weight and that would solve all my problems. Those being anxiety and adhd. I have been on medicine for both for awhile now and she said she didn't feel comfortable "diagnosing me" and referred me to a psychiatrist. I got labs done and the only thing she messaged me about was my cholesterol and I had to ask about my thyroid levels that were double what they should have been. When I called to ask for more labs they agreed but said it was probably just because I needed to lose weight. When the new labs came back high as well they prescribe meds. I have a long fam history of thyroid and that should have been considered.

Listens, provides advice and direction

I was a patient of hers for a while. She would come into the room and look at me as if she was disgusted and didn't want to be there. I had been on a particular medicine and she decided that I didn't need to take it and she did not write me a prescription for it and walked out. The medicine was as such that you were not to stop taking without tapering off it. I had a terrible time with getting it out of my system, I had withdrawals for weeks. I would not even take my dog to her.

Excellent physician! Very prompt.

She basically accused me of lying about a condition I’ve had for over ten years and was of no help. Has absolutely no bedside manner. I’ll be finding a new practice.

I went to her and she did not even help me with my physical problems. all she complained about was weight.. even at 250 she suggested that i go for gastric bypass.. she reffed me to a bone doc, but decided to put in the letter to him that what i was experiencing was sysco somatic.. now that i am at a diff doc i am getting the treatment that i need... I have a disc that is collapsed and pinching the major nerves and will have to have surgery.. she is a incompetent doctor

Dr. Hassan is very professional. She is attentive to the specific condition of her patients and genuinely cares for them. I highly recommend her as a skilled primary care doctor.

I find Dr. Hassan to be professional and thorough in her time with me. She asks pertinent questions concerning my health and always administers the proper lab and clinical tests to keep me healthy. She is pleasant to talk with and always has a professional appearance.

Great care

I have been seeing Dr Hassan for several years, her caring and consistent concern for her patients are second to none. Dr Hassan truly cares for her patients and in making sure they get the best possible care. In addition to Dr Hassan Crystal is also excellent as well as other members of Dr Hassan's team I will state again I have been going to this group for years and would highly recommend them to others

I had been a patient at this group since the mid 80s. I had seen four different Doctors over the years before being placed with Dr Hassan. Her nurse gave her opinion (which I respected) that Dr Hassan was going to be a good Doctor. I found that to not be true in my case. The final blow came when I needed a handicap permit and called on Wednesday morning but had not been called by Friday. I stopped by the office to see if there was a problem and was told I would get a call when it was ready.

My experiences with Dd. Hassan have been great. She cares about your health.
