Dr. G. Gave me a thorough and helpful assessment of my health status and made me feel cheerful and hopeful about it.

Dr G is very kind and informative. He listens well. He treats me with respect and collaborates with me about my medical needs, medical choices and he respects my medical decisions. I would highly recommend him.
Dr. B.is marvelous. Wish all docs were like him.

*Dr. Ghassemieh is a wonderful pulmonologist. Well informed & caring.
As I told the doctor, the primary reason I stay with UW medicine is because of the care I receive at the pulmonary clinic. I've been seeing Dr G for years and have always found him super helpful.
Excellent experience. Good communicator and listener.
I've never had a bad had a bad experience.
Dr Ghassemieh is great. He fully explained the situation I'm facing and called to update me on the radiologists' findings.
I have some rare conditions and it's incredibly refreshing for a doctor to admit they don't know much about them, and to exercise any level of caution with prescribing new medication. So incredibly refreshing and nice!
Dr Ghassemieh is that rare specialist that is also very *caring.* He has always listened to all my concerns, even when they weren't directly about his area of practice. He is empathetic and really shows, through words and actions, that he cares about me as a whole person. As someone that has dealt with a bevy of doctors for decades, I consider myself lucky that he is part of my team.
I even received a phone call after the visit from the doctor to explain future tests....love dr. Ghassemieh!
Dr. Ghassemieh always explain results of previous tests results from my last visit & any plan of care forward.

I was very satisfied & pleased with my recent visit to Dr. Ghassemieh's clinic. [...]
Dr. Ghassamimeh is a great doctor, one whom I have recommended to several people. He's on target, recognizes how much the patient already knows, and is comfortable to be with. When I informed him that my meds were expensive he got his assistant in to provide the solution which no one had done before. It's great to have a doctor who listens and solves problems.
[...] I always appreciate Dr. Ghassemieh's presence and explanations.
Dr. Ghassemieh is the most competent and caring provider I have seen in years!
