Dr. Hashmi continues to be the kind of doctor everyone wants. He listens, asks questions that are relevant to the patient, and is thoughtful and honest. He takes the time needed by the patient. We deeply appreciate him and wish all staff were as thoughtful, not as rushed as they usually are. Note my earlier comment about putting money into staff rather than buildings.

Reviewed on May 15, 2024

"Ease of getting care" depends. Emergency care has been excellent, appointments with everyone are OK, with Dr. Hashmi are excellent. But, if one just "wants to see a doctor" about a sudden concern it is not possible. Virtual care is not adequate.

Reviewed on May 6, 2024

This physician is truly the best doctor I have ever had. My husband (expired) was a Cleveland Clinic physician at one time and I understand the high standards the foundation maintains. I have been an Oncology nurse for the last 22 years. For me to feel this doctor is the best, comes with high standards to achieve. He is kind, caring and supportive to his patients.

Dr. Hashmi is one of the very finest doctors who has taken care of me. He offered profound insights into a test which I took and remarked how it did not match what he found in his examination of me. He also offered exceptionally candid remarks about medical practice and what he thought would be of benefit to me. Prior to our meeting, I did not believe that much would come of our appointment, since my problem was not so much being "elderly," but rather having toxins invading my brain. Dr. Hashmi encouraged me to work with other doctors, especially those in Functional Medicine--which I have been doing for eight months.I consider Dr. Hashmi a true jewel of the medical profession and an outstanding credit to Cleveland Clinic.
