Dr. Yasir Abu-Omar, MD

Dr Abu-Omar and staff are efficient, caring and attentive.

Dr. Abu-Omar was the lead surgeon for my aortic valve replacement surgery, and not only is he a people person (excellent bedside manner), but is extremely intelligent. He gave me a lot of confidence going into surgery ('we got this') and explained the process and expected outcomes. He is very rare in that he's both a people person (back to bedside manner...) and more than knows his craft, which was very reassuring. My recovery has been going well and can't offer up enough praise for Dr. Abu-Omar, plus his staff as well....

I went into cardiac arrest after having surgery and within minutes I was in the operating room and he saved my life.

Sep. 30th I had triple By-pass surgery (with complications). I am very fortunate to have Dr. Abu-Omar as my surgeon. He is a truly amazing surgeon. I can't say enough about the care I received from Dr Abu-Omar and his entire team. I am very thankful to him and his entire team for all their hard work and excellent care before, during, and after my surgery. I highly recommend Dr Abu-Omar. And after surgery… “NO PAIN”... Amazing.

I would like to recognize Shelby Howard who is a secretary in Dr. Abu-Omar's office. Due to personal reasons, I was not able to have my heart surgery in Cleveland. Dr. Abu-Omar was able to refer me to a qualified surgent in The Texas Heart Institute Houston, Texas; which is closer to my home in New Mexico. Shelby worked closely with me step by step to insure that all of my medical records, and test results were transfer to Houston. Shelby is a dedicated associate who sincerely cares about people. It is rare in today's times to find people like Shelby. In my last conversation with Shelby, I thanked her for all of her help. The way Shelby cares, I felt like she was part of my family. Thank you Dr. Abu-Omar for having Shelby on your staff.

I want to express my heartfelt gratitude for your unwavering dedication and compassionate care. I thank you for being an exceptional doctor.

Dr. Abu-Omar is an amazing surgeon! I was extremely ill and my family was told I may not make it and that surgery was the only option available. But Dr. Abu-Omar and his staff were there every step of the way doing whatever it took to save my life. He performed an extremely difficult open heart surgery on me and I survived! So thankful to him and his team for all their hard work and compassionate care.

Dr. Abu-Omar is an excellent heart surgeon. I had triple by-pass surgery on May 11, 2024. I was out of ICU in less than 24 hours and walking in the step-down unit. I had absolutely no pain the entire time I was in the hospital or at home. My incision is healing well. I have already told family and friends about him as a heart surgeon. My two friends and brother were very impressed with his down to earth communication to them while I was in surgery and during recovery. I can't say enough about Dr. Abu-Omar. He saved my life and I feel rejuvenated. As a retired professor and lover of travel and adventures...I thank him.

Dr Abu-Omar provided excellent information and assurances before, during and after the triple bypass surgery. He took the time to address any questions and concerns that I had. I can't say enough about the care I received from Dr Abu-Omar and the entire team of professionals at University Hospitals of Cleveland in preop, surgery and postop.

The doctor was thorough, honest, professional and provided me with all the information I needed to be prepared for the procedure.

My initial consultation with Dr. Abu-Omar was to determine next steps after my diagnosis. I felt very comfortable with the discussion regarding my open-heart surgery. He explained in detail what my surgery would entail from the start to the finish of the procedure. My second visit from Dr. Abu-Omar was surgery day. I had all the confidence in the world that I was in good hands with him and his team.

He got done exactly what he said. Also came out of open heart surgery without pain!!!

From the moment I was admitted into the hospital, and into the Pre op Ward I was treated with kindness , courtesy and compassion. Everyone worked together completely and Perfectly. I met the staff who were to be involved with my surgery beforehand and felt completely at ease. Dr. Omar met with me, and explained what his plan for my surgery was. He was very kind and compassionate. I was in awe and amazed by everyone who was there when I entered the operating room. I was completely at ease. I was struck by everyone there, who from their different Jobs they were to preform in there were all brought together in this space and time , Just to take care of me. Dr. Omar was in charge. when I woke up after my surgery in the intensive care unit I couldn't believe how much I instantly felt better. From then on, from my time when I was in the ICU, I was treated with extreme care, Kindness and attention. When I was moved into the stepdown unit, Everyone took exceptional care of me during my stay.

I had a valve repair done by Dr. Abu-Omar. He made me feel comfortable from the time we met to discuss the procedure due to his calming presence, personable nature and confidence in his experience and expertise. It was a very successful surgery with no complications. I am very grateful to him and would recommend him without hesitation.

Dr Omar replaced an aortic valve and repaired an aneursym for me. I felt better the day after open heart surgery than I felt the year before. He is an excellent doctor, very personable and easy to talk to. Highly recommend him.

Excellent health professional. He did a great job repairing my mitral valve and saved my life. He is also nice, polite and responsive, he got to know a little more about me and made me feel that he really cared about my condition.

Was not a visit but rather open heart surgery on December 29, 2023. My husband was the patient and visited Dr. Abu-Omar for a post surgery visit on February 19, 2024. The visit was a good one with good report for incision site. Answered questions and discharged my husband from his care.

Intelligent, trustworthy, compassionate and truly cares about his patients

Successful surgery and great follow up.

This surgeon saved my life, When I visited Him after surgery He explained what had happened and encouraged my healing
