Arrived 17 hours after admit. Spoke bad about VA hospital doctors. Blamed my 80 year old parents for not immediately knowing meds. (They has them written down)Blamed computer upgrade issues. When my mother asked questions about the procedure he audibly sighed. He raised his voice to my Mother when she called him on his disrespect. I imagine he is a good surgeon, but really needs some work in demonstrating empathy to the tired, sick and ultimately afraid people who he is treating.

I would not and can't (In good conscience recommend him). He is arrogant, defensive and does not like questions. I'm not sure if, its to cover some competancy issues or perhaps he is being deposed on a previous patient mishandling. His comment that the heart issue was "just age and happens when, people get old" made me regret the 15 minute interaction. I will seek a second opinion. Somebody that will help me live longer, healthier and more productive life.

Not a good physician for follow-ups post surgery. He didn't bother to check incision site at the first follow-up after surgery. Usually over an hour late. Once he arrives he asks if I have questions and then give short responses while looking at the computer. He never used his stethoscope on me. Their answering service is neither responsive nor efficient. Once I had to contact his answering service for an emergency and he was not available and he didn't have a back-up.

Dr Nahlawi is an amazing doctor. He treats the root cause, not just the symptom. He took time to call me personally multiple times throughout my issues with low blood pressure to see how treatment was progressing. Highly recommend him and his staff of professionals.

Dr. Nahlawi is without question the finest Doctor I have ever come in contact with. As the mother of a handicapped child I have met with 100's of doctors. Dr. Nahlawi is not only an expert in his field, he is kind, generous and most important, COMPASSIONATE. Doctors like this a rare and hard to find. May you never need any cardiac care, but if you do this is the only Doctor to go. You will thank me for this advice. Sherry.B.

Dr. Nehlawi is a very caring person and is one of the most pleasant doctors we dealt with. He takes his time to listen and explain and he gave us all the time we needed to ask questions and feel assured about our health. We highly recommend him and we much trust him.

kind, very caring man. i was rushed into the hospital with 99% blockage. Dr Nahlawi was on duty that night and i will forever be grateful to him for saving my life. ive had two more stents sense then which he has done. He follows up on me and sits and listens, never makes you feel rushed or never makes you feel bad for asking questions whether they are silly or not.
