Overview of patient comments

Summary created using AI

Patients appreciate

Dr. Safa Fassihi receives overwhelmingly positive feedback from patients who consistently praise his exceptional listening skills and communication abilities. Patients repeatedly describe him as taking ample time to thoroughly explain diagnoses, treatment options, surgical procedures, and MRI results in terms they can understand, never making them feel rushed despite busy schedules. His bedside manner is frequently highlighted as outstanding, with patients describing him as caring, compassionate, kind, professional, friendly, and personable. Many reviews emphasize that he treats patients like family, talks with them rather than at them, and genuinely shows concern for their wellbeing. His clinical knowledge and expertise, particularly in orthopedic procedures including hip replacements, knee surgeries, and trigger finger treatments, receive high marks. Patients also appreciate his collaborative approach to care, involving them in treatment decisions and presenting pros and cons of various options. Several reviews note his skill in performing pain-free injections and his attentiveness to patient concerns and questions.

Patients also share

The reviews reveal very few areas for improvement, with only two specific concerns mentioned. One patient noted that Dr. Fassihi's MyChart responses could be more timely, suggesting some delay in electronic communication. Another patient expressed frustration about a single incident where the doctor proceeded to see the next patient when she briefly stepped out to use the restroom, rather than waiting a moment for her return, particularly since the appointment had already started late. One review also mentioned a patient feeling "put off and passed around" by others in the system regarding an elbow problem, though this appears to reflect positively on Dr. Fassihi as being the only doctor concerned with addressing the issue.
