What People Say About Dr. Naeem Tahir, MD
RecentHighestLowestMost Helpful
Reply
As a health care professional who has worked in oncology and hospice, I can easily say how appalled I am at how he treated my father. The first meeting he appeared kind, but washed his hands of him by not providing appropriate options since treatment was "most likely" impossible. This doctor needs to learn human decency instead of waiting for another doctor to honestly review test results during an ER visit 2 weeks later and offer the option of hospice, which we got on just in time.
