My experience with Dr. Hamad was fast and furious and wonderful. From the lump found in a routine mammogram, to the needle biopsy and the subsequent lumpectomy, it all happened in about 2 weeks. She is thorough, exacting and compassionate. From the first meeting, I felt completely confident and comfortable in her care. She explained everything completely, answered my questions and took her time with me at each appointment. Her professionalism and bedside manner were top notch. I would high

Dr. Hamad has been wonderful and provided me with very professional yet caring attention since my first appointment I am also impressed with the staff at Advanced Surgical Associates. They have all been great.

Excellent knowledgeable doctor. Had surgery 10 years ago and have rechecks with her. I like that Dr. Hamad is thorough and doesn't leave anything behind. She covers all her bases and is very thorough. Helps me sleep at night having breast cancer in my family.

I've been a patient of Dr. Hamad since 2001. She saved my life that day! Dr. Hamad is an extremely knowledgeable surgeon with a no nonsense attitude. Some will interpret her methods as criticism or a lack of caring when in fact the opposite is true. She is very caring person and will drive you to do the right thing to help yourself. I highly recommend her in your time of needs.

She is quick and to the point. Did a lumpectomy for me in 2012. Makes sure I visit her office regularly for follow ups and schedules all my MRIs, mammograms etc. She later removed lipomas for me. All my experiences were fine and resulted in my being in good health going forward. She keeps me on top of my healthcare with her no nonsense attitude.

Late stage breast cancer thanks to her. TERRIBLE communicator with a "I'm brilliant - you are an idiot - I don't have time to explain to you" attitude. I went in with a large mass to get a referral for an **MRI**. I explained very high risk factors, and that I was told never to bother w/mamms. NO EXPLANATION, she shook her head, took out needle w/o full explanation. Mamm missed tumor. One year later, advanced & metastatic. I've lost everything.

Don't use Dr. Hamad if you have United Healthcare! Hamad is covered under UHC, but the pathology lab that she will send your sample to is NOT covered under UHC. She will not tell you this. You will realize this after getting a $200+ bill from Raleigh Pathology Lab Associates. Dr. Hamad is not trustworthy.

I had an ultrasound on one breast last year and was told it was fine, the "margins" of the area of suspicion looked good so no need to biopsy. went to Dr. Hamad for a separate problem but she honed in on the place that I'd had the ultrasound 9 months previously. She recommended a fine needle aspiration and it came back clean. then a core biopsy procedure, also came back clear. Went for my routine mamo and was told, "there is nothing to biopsy"! So she charged me thousands of $ for nothing!

I went in to have a concern checked out but instead I had a minor procedure done. She was absolutely horrible at explaining what was going on. Then when she asked if I understood I said no and she just continued with what she was doing. She didn't ask for my permission to do the procedure at all. I will be finding a new dr right away! Oh and one more thing when I was explaining when I first felt my concern and how I found it she kept Interupting and not listening at all!
