Dr.Sayfe Jassim was the attending physician that did my husbands knee replacement ! He has always been thorough and when explaining all of the problems with knees and what’s going on. He is the first doctor that said let’s get this looked at and let’s see what an MRI shows . Since my fall so we are not just assuming that it’s something else and keep feeding me medicines I don’t need .

All staff accommodating starting at the front desk, to the nurses, xrays, keeping me informed of any delays. His PA explained explained X-ray results of both knees. Dr. Jassim came in and discussed xrays further and informed us of the procedure. Very personable and kind. I had one bad experience in the past so I tend to be weary of physicians. I would highly recommend Dr. Jassim on how we were treated and informed of his procedure.

My hip replacement that was done recently was as good an experience as it could be. I went into procedure well informed and am now basically pain free and can walk.
