*** Dr. Wakim is the best of the best. I have been to a bunch of doctors before. I am extremely knowledgeable about the human body and what does and what it doesn't do. when I first met him, I quizzed him on things that I already knew that were very tough questions. He gave me the correct answers every time.

Dr. Wakim is always kind, patient, very thorough and always professional.
The office is very helpful. All the people there are very nice and very thorough about the questions when they speak to you. Very nice place to be seen.
This was my first time with my new physician. I was extremely thrilled. He had all of my information and took great care discussing any changes that needed to be made. He made me feel comfortable and I had been his patient forever.
Although Dr. Wakim has only been my pc for a short while since my former UH pc of approximately 25years retired slowly we are getting to know each other and building a comfortable relationship.
Dr Wakeem is compassionate and caring. He literally saved my life because he sent me for multiple tests when I wasn't feeling well and they found lung cancer at stage 1. He has consistently gone out of his way to help, not just treat symptoms like some do. I'm SO GRATEFUL that he's my Dr. He's the BEST!
I don't have to wait and he is prepared for why I am there. He gives me plenty of time to explain the situation and the help that I need, in this case, an increase in my depression medication and current medication for insomnia/anxiety. He is very empathetic to the stress of interacting with my significant other who is in memory care for Alzheimer's. His main focus is my health and wellbeing and I never feel rushed.
Really respect Dr. Wakim he is always thorough and explains everything and is very interested in whatever you're concerns or questions may be .
The Dr and staff are exceptional. I recommend
I am entirely satisfied with Dr Wakim!
I don't usually directly call Dr. Wakim's office with questions; I contact Dr. Wakim through the UH portal, or call the general UH number. Both Dr. Wakim and the people answering the UH line are great. Much much better communication than my previous provider.
Dr. Wakim is a very professional yet very kind doctor.He always shows his interest and concern for what is going on with my health. I have complete confidence in him and feel very fortunate to have such a good doctor and one that I feel comfortable communicating with during my appointments.
I am almost 68 years old. I know quite a bit about the medical field. If I go to a doctor and I don't get the right answers or they're misleading, I don't go back. Dr Wakim Is the best and knowledgeable doctor I have ever met in my entire life and that is saying a lot. He is very thorough, he describes everything in detail that you need to know answers all questions. I have the utmost respect for this doctor. And I don't give compliments very easily. If you ask me to rate this doctor between one and 10 and 1 is the worst, I would give him a 50. Caring, loving respectful and enjoys his job, does everything that you need in a physician. You are so lucky to have him and so am I.
Dr wakim is excellent

Dr. Wakim is wonderful. He is very knowledgeable, very personable, easy to understand, and gives clear and concise medical advice. Among other things, he went over test results, advised how to prepare for an upcoming major surgery and postoperative life, scheduled a retest that seemed incorrect, discussed how to lower AC1, and suggested OTC medication for pain management. He also sends messages or answers messages on the UH website. He is a great doctor. Tries always to gently steer me in the direction of better health.

UH practitioners seek advance approval for certain new industry relationships. In addition, practitioners report their industry relationships and activities, as well as those of their immediate family members, to the UH Office of Outside Interests annually. We review these reports and implement management plans, as appropriate, to address conflicts of interest that may arise in connection with medical research, clinical care and purchasing decisions.
