Dr. Kassem is a highly reputed doctor from what I was told and from the first minute we met in CMC hospital I understood why. He was recommended by a friend and I was glad that I took the recommendation. Dr. Kassem is well knowledgeable and informative. He gave me his time to explain my condition and his advice. I highly recommend CMC hospital and Dr. Kassem.
