Wonderful and really caring cardiologist. Took the time to carefully evaluate my aunt and uncle, and ensured they understand their conditions and how to manage it. He is an excellent communicator, thorough in his work, and has excellent bedside manner. So grateful we found a cardiologist like him.

One of the best doctors I have ever met. He takes care of you like no other. He makes sure no stone is left unturned and deserves nothing less than 5 stars. I have been his returning patient for some years now, and amazingly never needed to search for a new primary care physician again. The trust I have in him I wouldn't put into anyone else. He has very good bedside manner. I highly recommend him. You're in good hands with Dr.Waheed!

Ruined our lives! We were under the impression due to the initial diagnosis and medication given by Urgent Care, that the patient had one illness and only to find out later that it was heart failure. We were told by Urgent Care to follow up with a physician which we did. Waheed never mentioned that to us, despite it being clearly stated on the report from Urgent Care, which we carelessly did not look at, that the patient was in heart failure. We just gave the report to Waheed - it said HEART FAILURE! I kept on asking about the other illness which we were told the patient had and was not corrected by Waheed. He never said no, he does not have that, he said "I just want to watch." For weeks prior, the patient was tired, lost appetite, had trouble breathing and could not sleep. This went on for weeks. Despite a devastating diagnosis from Urgent Care, this "doctor" kept on repeating "I just want to watch." After he said it for the 3rd time, having seen the patient twice, telling him to come and see him again, and as this patient got sicker and sicker, and as I begged Waheed to do something, I said screw you and took the patient to the primary who said "what did the cardiologist say?" I told him that he said he just wanted to watch. At the advice of the primary I was told to immediately take the patient to his cardiologist, a pulmonologist and a gastroenterologist - the patient was that ill. I said he just saw his cardiologist. The primary was emphatic that the cardiologist be seen again! As the patient's breathing was a primary complaint we began there while I searched for a new, competent cardiologist. Time wasted as the pulmonologist said to take him to a cardiologist. The pulmonologist asked, what did the cardiologist say, we said he said he just wanted to observe. The patient is getting sicker, barely has energy to walk and had been trying to work. By the time the patient got to a real cardiologist, he immediately had the patient admitted to the hospital for heart surgery. The patient was so sick that surgery had to be delayed 10 days to get stabilized. Had the patient gotten the treatment he needed immediately when he first saw Waheed, he most likely would have been in and out of the hospital in about 10 days. Waheed ALLOWED incredible damage to occur to the heart due to his incompetence. The patient is still very, very ill as a result of the nearly month delay in getting treatment. As it turned out the patient was in the hospital well over a month and has had a slow recovery. Had the patient not been in such good shape prior, he would have died according to his new cardiac team. It may be a year till the patient can go back to work, if ever. Ruined out lives!!! BEWARE!
