Dr Alan Hakim 2017-03-25 Person 5 5 0

After my health deteriorated and had effected my work, due to things beyond my control, EDS ,collapses and other medical reasons. I had a follow up appointment with Dr Hakim, as the doctors were not giving me the answers if it was related to EDS, and my work were rather concerned. Dr Alan Hakim is one of the most supportive, understanding, empathetic, honest, humble, funny, doctors you will ever meet as a doctor, He is very experienced a gentleman and is very aware of the patients needs, especially when it come to EDS. He will always put your needs and requirements first. sometimes with EDS, some doctors, can find it hard to connect the symptoms, due to the amount of symptoms. He took one look at me, and said i didn't look well. I was quite literally falling asleep on his desk in his office , exhausted, dizzy, brain fog, finding it even hard to talk and put sentences together,memory issues Which isn't me at all. Dr Hakim was very empathetic and kept smiling and remained calm.. He got me sorted, and helped me to understand, what needed to be done, emailed me to confirm everything and rang one of my consultants and confirmed everything with via email as my friend (as i wasn't well) checked my email the next day. With EDS each patient has their own way of dealing with it....things like EDS and other complications, i suppose I try to keep going and keep smiling keep strong and put on a front, because you want a moment of normality and then you have to accept in these moments of decline and deterioration, its doctors like Dr Hakim that get you the right treatment, so then you can be comfortable again :) I hope this shows by once case , how calm, collected, humble, empathetic, caring, understanding Dr Hakim is, and how that he is a great doctor, in clinical and translation medicine care. In every appointment i have had with him, not matter what type of appointment, he always makes sure you leave happy, comfortable, with the right information, and tries his best i highly recommend him. Thanks for helping me Dr Hakim......i truly appreciated your help that day. .
