Dr. Wasima B. Hassan, MD

Dr. Hassan probably saved my life. And I don't say that lightly. After going to the ER twice, both times diagnosed migraine, I went to Dr Hassan. The ER treated me like a drug seeking individual. I was the most sick i'd ever been in my life. I went to Dr. Hassan and she quickly diagnosed me with Meningitis. She called ahead to hospital and they reluctantly did a spinal tap that confirmed her diagnosis. Without Dr. Hassan quickly and accurately diagnosing me, and not assuming right off the bat, I shutter to think what would have happened.

Dr Hassan is the finest doctor a person could ever ask for. She is compassionate and very very thorough, she always is smiling and spends as much time with you as is necessary.

I cannot praise highly enough the thorough and personalized care given by Dr Hassan and her capable staff. Dear Dr. Hassan, Robin and Lindsay and AHN staff,

We want to thank you for your exceptional and thorough care for our mom, over the past five years.

It's been nearly two months since mom, began her severe back pain crises. After two trips to the hospital, two steriod injections in her spine, admission to Cumberland Pointe Health Campus, a broken hip and a third hospital stay for surgery, mom is making progress.

In spite of all the pain medications and spinal injections, she did not get pain relief until after the surgery for her broken hip. It may be the result of the steroid injections, or her fall that jostled something, or the hip surgery itself as well as finding the right mix of meds (morphine and Oxycontin), and answer to many many prayers, but she is making progress in a way that we did not imagine.

At present, after a month of being confined to life on her back in bed, she can now sit up in the wheel chair most of the day, go to physical and occupational therapy. As of a few days ago, she no longer needs the Oxycontin for breakthrough pain during the day. She's gone from being content to wearing a hospital gown to making sure her daily wardrobe is matching!

She is now a permanent skilled nursing care resident at Cumberland Pointe, a miracle in itself. A bed opened up for her the day we were going to sign her up for a facility in Rossville. She is across the street from Friendship House where she lived, so her friends can walk over for regular visits.

We are grateful to God for watching over her so tenderly.

We are grateful to you and your staff for all the wonderful personalized care mom received from you. You are an amazing team. Our only regret is that you can't be her doctor and nurses any more.

From the bottom of of hearts, we thank you for the way you go above and beyond to ensure the well being of your patients. You truly are amazing. In this day and age of health care crises, you know how to take the time with your patients and keep their health interests as your focus. You are an example of personalized medicine.

Gratefully,
