Hafiz FEEZER Kassam's Online Review Report Card

I was referred to Dr Kassam from Dr Petrie. Dr Petrie told me that he had hand picked Dr Kassam for Hoag Orthopedic Group. He was not wrong about Dr Kassam. From the time I met with Dr Kassam and all of the staff that surrounds him, my experience has been top notch. This group bends over backwards to be kind, skilled and supportive to every aspect of your surgical experience. I would not hesitate to send my loved ones to this group of professionals. Dr Kassam did an amazing job on my shoulder replacement and I will seek him out for my next one! Thank you to Dr Kassam, his team and especially to Julie the surgery coordinator. Love this place.

This is my 2nd shoulder replacement surgery and Dr. Kassam was a wonderful physician to work with. He is professional, confident and makes the patient feel comfortable. The recovery was 3-4 months and I’m back to swinging the clubs and riding the bike trail. Thank you Dr. Kassam…

I tore my torn bicep tendon and saw Dr Kassam for the repair. Everything from my initial visit, through surgery and my post op visits were very professional. Dr Kassam informed me of what to expect along each step of the process. My incision was minimal and healed very well. I would see or recommend Dr Kassam and his staff again with zero hesitation. Thank you Dr Kassam!

All I want to say is he is the epitome of a great doctor. Knowledgeable, kind, prompt, answers every question and is available, no waiting for weeks get follow up. He saved me from over in pain. He’s the best!

Dr Kassam did both my Elbows! I appreciate his attempt but feel instead of him doing his "new way" ( lasers) of surgery, the old school knife procedure I would have benefited from more!

Dr. Kassam is a top notch surgeon! I'm a physician assistant and had a fall which shattered my humerus in 4 pieces recently. I had 3 different doctors tell me that it was a difficult injury not promising me they could fix it or that I would have good range of motion of my elbow ever again. I met with Dr. Kassam and even though he understood the difficulty of the injury he was up for the challenge. And he fixed my arm!!! I now have 8 screws and a plate in my humerus with only 10-11% deficit in range of motion SIX weeks post surgery! I can now return to work and do surgery again in order to help my own patients. Thank you Dr. Kassam for taking on my difficult case and working miracles!

Dr. HAFIZ F KASSAM IS AN INCREDIBLY GREAT SURGEON!After abusing my right shoulder in the Home Repair and Construction business over the past 32 years, I was in extreme pain every day of the week, every week of the month since November of 2021. As it turned out; my rotator cuff was beyond repair and I needed a complete right reverse shoulder replacement. Dr. Kassam met with me in February, examined me, and asked me all the pertenant questions and then very clearly informed me of all of the details of the operation and what to expect afterwards. He was very clear about what was expected of me as well. He laid down some very strict rules regarding MY responsibilities for the success of the operation. He made it very clear that I would be wasting my time and his if I didn't religiously follow the rules. There were some unpleasant things that I had to do if I wanted to be pain-free and functional when all was said and done. He repeated the instructions numerous times and asked me if I understood his instructions, and wether or not I planned to carry my portion of the burden.  He then proceeded to secure April 8th as the date for the operation. While waiting for the surgery date, there we're a number of things that needed to be completed and at every step Dr.Kassam would remind me of the rules and ask me if I was up to the task at hand. It was clear to me that Dr. Kassam takes his profession very seriously.I walked through the entry doors of the HOAG Hospital in Irvine with pure confidence on April 8, 2022 and was treated with the utmost of care and respect by all of the various newfound family members who facilitated my experiences over the next two days.My surgery lasted less than two hours and it went perfectly. The entire team of professionals who had anything at all to do with my care introduced themselves and wished me a speedy recovery.... More newfound family members!I went home with a brand new, smooth operating shoulder and because I followed Dr. Kassam's instructions before and after his perfect surgical skills, my Physical Therapist is witnessing one of the best rehabilitation therapies in his career. A modest range of motion goal of 140 degrees was set for sixteen weeks of therapy, yet on the very first day my range of motion was already at 150 degrees.I'm making slow progress with each session and I am very confident that when I have finished therapy, I will be beyond 'back to normal' function; I will have significantly better function.I'm sure that you have all seen the negative review that was posted and updated sometime back. All I can say about that person's experience with Dr. Kassam is that he probably didn't follow the very strict instructions that Dr. Kassam gives to ALL of his patients. ANYONE can make a mess of a job well done... Even when that job was done to perfection.Dr. Kassam is a perfectionist and he wants and gives nothing but the BEST for each and every patient. When he has finished giving the patient the best possible surgical care; it's the patient's responsibility to carry that perfection forward.The bottom line is that Dr. Kassam is the BEST!

Dr Kassam is amazing!!! He was our second opinion for a total shoulder replacement and wow did we hit the jackpot with him. He’s not only professional, he’s extremely confident and competent in what he does. I would recommend Dr Kassam to anyone that needs a great orthopedic surgeon. 💯

I saw Dr. Kassam for my rotator cuff tear. He did exactly what a good physician does- explained what was going on, gave me all options (from least invasive to most invasive), set expectations and allowed me to make an informed decision. He is super nice and has excellent bedside manner. I am so very grateful for his care.

Let me start by saying that I I highly recommend Dr. Kassam! Dr. Kassam repaired a torn rotator cuff and biceps tendon in my right shoulder and I am extremely pleased with the results. I play lots of golf and softball so it was very important to me that it be done right. At 7 weeks post surgery, I am amazed at the range of motion I already have (having been through previous shoulder surgeries). He took the time to explain the procedure, discuss the outcome and listened to my concerns about the results and ability to return to playing. His passion for his work is obvious and he is very motivated to give his patients care above and beyond. If you are having shoulder issues, I highly recommend Dr. Kassam!
