Dr. Mohamed Nabile Abdel-Hamid

I saw Dr. Hamid recently again after having last seen him about a decade earlier. I forgot just how much of a decent human being this surgeon is. He's an old school surgeon who prides himself in diagnosis by interviewing and physical observation. We had a lovely conversation about bureaucracy and administrative burden. He said that he used to see 4x as many patients per day, but now spends 25% of his time seeing patients and 75% filling out the paperwork. He decried this development in our healthcare system.

I have been seeing Dr.Hamid for hearing loss for a number of years. I had to cancel one of my appointments because of my moms passing. When I eventually got back into seeing him, he passed on his condolences for me, and talked to me about my moms passing. He was so genuine in consoling me, it was very comforting. He could tell it was really bothering me, he sat and talked to me for a long time, like a friend would. That meant so much to me. I recently had a MRI ordered from him, he called me on a Sunday night, to let me know, everything was ok. I don't know of many doctors who call you on weekend night like he did. We need more caring Doctors like him. A+ Wonderful man and Physician.

I contacted Dr. Hamid after recurrent symptoms in my left ear were not being resolved. I was at the end of my rope with being put on antibiotics and brushed off. The first appointment with Dr. Hamid, he told me there was a serious issue. He wasted no time having imaging done and covered all bases. He was amazing and reassuring and spent time explaining everything to me. He referred me to Sunnybrook in Toronto because he was confident that is where I would I needed to be in case of any complications. I am now 6 weeks post-op and continue to se Dr. Hamid for my after care. I cannot say enough wonderful things about him. He really cares and I feel better than I have in years.
