I had the pleasure of seeing Dr. Hassan yesterday, and I can confidently say he is one of the best doctors I’ve ever encountered. His bedside manner is exceptional — calm, respectful, and genuinely caring. From the moment he walked into the room, he made me feel at ease. What stood out most was how detailed and thorough he was in his approach. It’s rare to find a doctor who takes the time to really listen, explain everything clearly, and ensure you fully understand your care plan. I never felt rushed during my visit. In fact, I left the appointment feeling more informed and reassured than I ever have before. Dr. Hassan’s confidence, knowledge, and compassion gave me a great sense of comfort and trust. It’s clear he truly cares about his patients, and that makes all the difference. I’m grateful to have him as part of my healthcare team and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a top-notch physician.

Great doctor and office staff.
We had a great experience at this doctor’s office. The doctor listened carefully to our concerns, took notes throughout the conversation, and asked thoughtful questions that made us feel truly heard. He took the time to thoroughly go over our test results and clearly explained the benefits of improving sleep, which was very helpful. The staff was also friendly and efficient, making the whole visit smooth from start to finish. Highly recommend this office for anyone looking for attentive, knowledgeable care.

Pleasant, easy and efficient.
Dr. Hassan was the most sweet, genuinely caring, informative and well articulate doctor I’ve ever seen in my 35 years of life. He was incredibly thorough in examining and explained everything to me in great detail, even modeling how to use a specific inhaler. If it weren’t for him, I may have ended up in the hospital (as a dr I saw the day before sent me off without any care). I couldn’t recommend a doctor more than Dr. Hasaan. I’d also like to add Mindy, the receptionist, was extremely kind to me. When I arrived, I was having anxiety that I was in the wrong place and she was empathetic and calming, showed me so much compassion.
Verified patient
Very helpful and patient with me. Would recommend
Verified patient

Dr. Hassan is an excellent doctor who leverages years of experience and intuition to come up with a great diagnostic and treatment plan. It’s refreshing to find a good doctor who knows what he’s doing.
Verified patient
This doctor is amazing. Perfect old school doctor. Listens takes notes. Very thorough. Made sure everything was done correctly even me getting my medication and referrals with the office. Felt like he was in no rush and gave me 1000% attention. Checked all options. Told me all possible options from medications I took and asked how I liked each one. Was very understanding and very. Patient and comforting. Then again gave me options for treatments. Highly recommend. He was 20 minutes out of the way from me, but probably would a drive an hour to see him. Very professional! And the nurse’s was experienced
Verified patient
This office was great! I had a consultation appointment due to an issue with my asthma and medication, and I was in and out within an hour and a half. Dr. Hassan was very educated on what he was speaking about, and explained everything in a way that made sense. The staff at the front desk were extremely friendly and very helpful with the process of getting information and necessary signatures from patients. Would definitely recommend to those who need a pulmonologist.
