    From my point-of-view Aleem is a god & a magician! His abilities are other-worldly! What he has done for me is astonishing!

    My brother-in-law (a retired physician in Seattle, which I brought in via FaceTime) were very impressed with Dr. Aleem. My BIL did research on him while the Dr. and I were conversing. Both my BIL and I were impressed with his credentials and experience. I don't believe that I could have had a better surgeon to do open heart surgery on me. My BIL, who will be at the hospital with me, very impressed with the surgeon's credentials and schooling.
