I had confidence in my doctor. It was not my first appt with him.
Quality service straight across the board!!!
I would recommend everyone associated with this team!
Good contact moving from one experience to the next.
I felt very rushed. Dr was half way out the door when I started asking questions and he never came back in, just stood in the doorway as I asked my questions. I was the first patient and he was 15 minutes late and I felt I was suffering for his being behind before he even started his day. I also feel he didn't take my history of back surgery into consideration and pay more attention to the severe stenosis at a certain level of my spine that my surgeon feels is worth closely monitored on top of my recent fracture.
So pleased that Dr Monfared first recommended several weeks of physical therapy . It Made a huge impact on my pain level. I felt a lot better
The best doctor!
I wasn't rushed!
Dr Monfared is solid
Good
Because of the way I've always been treated I would never go anywhere else.
I would recommend this provider to anyone who has a person they care for with spinal disorder be ause they care.
I would only recommend those who will not be intimidated by his style service.
Good communication, explanations,
The care provider explained the x-ray, proposed next steps and follow-up.
Good
Dr. MONFARED is so good. He listens and offers solutions. He is the best at helping manage pain!
Didn't get to ask all the questions I had, but I wouldn't say I was rushed
Dr was very informative
A computer was not used, notes by the doctor were hand written. I was shown paper copies of the X-rays I had brought on a disk. I felt it was a good appointment once he arrived. It was short but I'm sure time was spent going over my records, the X-rays and the radiology report I brought with me.I have gone into MyChart and printed the Daily Progress Note. I have also scheduled my first PT appointment as recommended in my appointment.
I am an Emory provider, Dr Monfared seemed more focused on L spine and not the SI pain I had come in with. Ordered MRI which did not address SI pain. Offered invasive modalities first and after asking for non opioid pharm was given Rx for lyrica.
DR MADE SURE I ASKED ALL MY QUESTIONS AND UNDERSTOOD THE ANSWERS,
Hassan Monfared Excellent!!
Always runs over an hour late.
Nice doctor
Doc seemed very rushed
Dr. Monfared listens carefully and expresses concern. He asks helpful questions. I appreciate hIs concern and his response to my situation.
The team did wonderful .
The Dr cared about my injury I felt very comfortable in his hands . I would recommend this office to everyone. Thanks to everyone for taking good care of me .
Dr Monfared is a great doctor. He is very knowledgeable and takes the time to listen to my concerns and advise me of the treatment plan.
Great job
He appears to be concerned with my health and and getting me free from pain with out surgery
The doctor and assistant were very good. I could have used a few more minutes to react to the future treatment . Of course I didn't think of the questions until he was gone out of the room.
Dr Monfared has saved me. So grayeful
Obviously knowledgeable and good teacher to me. Does seem hurried.
Very coordinated, well organized, compfort!
Dr Monafred is a patient listener and a good teacher for explaining causes for one's medical symptoms.
Doctor was very thorough, asked about part pain and surgeries and offered a treatment plan. The biggest factor for me is that I trust the doctor and his staff.
Excellent!
I keep returning to Dr Monfared. I trust him implicitly
Didn't explain, got argumentative, wasn't friendly or kind, doesn't care at about the quality of my life or wellbeing. One it was discovered I don't need surgery he couldn't have hustled me out the door more quickly. Most depressing ortho visit I've ever had
Provider went out of his way to address a related problem and make sure I had an appointment with a specialist who could treat a particular problem. His staff arranged an appointment for me with this specialist within 2days. My physician was very obviously genuinely concerned.
Excellent
Dr Monfared was personable explained the tests (MRI) lower spineAnd right hip
I always tell people about the great experience & treatment.
Dr. Monfared always gets high mrsks!
He was recommended by my husband. My husband is also his patient.
Dr jumped to assuming I had an injury when I repeatedly insisted no injury caused my pain. He was quick and blunt and made me feel like I did something wrong. He gave information without leaving me time to react or process. He brushed over my concerns about continuing my lifestyle with my diagnosis and left me feeling hopeless.
Dr. Monfared was easy to speak to and was very attentive to my concerns. It was a very pleasant visit
Good
Dr. Hassan was very knowledgeable, however, I felt that the visit was a bit rushed.
Everyone was highly professional, direct and concise.
Good
He was very concerned about me heath and ge me well and taking care and that what I need
Good, thorough examination of concerns, symptons,,,,,,good explanations and referral for x rays and MRI
Dr Monfarred is a stellar physician/surgeon and highly recommend
This was a second opinion so I brought an MRI and X-ray. I'm not sure how much time the Dr. Spent looking at those tests before my visit with him (understandable if he couldn't spend a huge amount of time) but I wondered at times how much he actually saw of the test since I brought them with me to the appointment.
Dr. Monfared's care, concern and treatment were outstanding.
Health care Provider didn't provide other options for treatment other than pills surgery and injections.
Physician explained condirion and scheduled care.
All good
I really loved that doctor
When they did come in, I tried to talk about it and other things it could be but as long as the mri was clean he didn't care to listen to anything else possible wrong
I like doctor Hassan because he is very though and shows great concern about my neck problem.
Great
Always excellent service
Excellent care and interest in following up. Dr explained in easy words my treatment, meds and answered all my questions
Stuck on one etiology when there more than one. I thought he was pain doctor and would look at all etiologies. Little attention to physical medicine and knowing patient history. Two years of evaluation and saying not in spine.
Good!!!
Once he determined that I was not pain management, he said I should speak with a surgeon. There was nothing more he could do. Fair enough, but pretty cold. Also, the MRI noted a 5cm cyst on my kidney, he said nothing. I guess I expected referral to a nephrologist.
Dr. Montfared is kind and extremely encouraging, while letting me know the facts. I appreciate the facts.
We love Dr Manferad. He's very professional and very clear. Answers allQuestions. Give practical advice. We trust him completely. Would highly recommend him.
Dr Monfared is always present and listens to my questions and concerns. I consider this to be a gift!
I felt like more of a specimen than a patient.
Dr. Monfared has been wonderful diagnosing and giving me the care I needed
Dr Monafred is wonderful. So smart. I enjoyed my visit with him very much. He grasped all my issues very quickly.
Dr Monfarad is wonderful. I've been seeing him for about 8 years.
Dr was very attentive
Monfared was very kind and attentive
My Doctor was very helpful
Very good
Dr. Monfared was very detailed in his explanation of my condition and reviewed my x-rays with me so I could see and understand what is going on in my spine.
Dr. Monfared visited my mom with all the information and her medical history. He was prepared, patiently listened to all concerns, and paid attention to her medication and past history and what needed to be done.
Dr Monfred is thorough and caring.
Very good
No problems
Dr. Mofared was very easy to talk to and answered all my questions
It would have been good for me to get a sense of why an MRI was required and informed about what this entailed, but for the most part, everything was very clear and the doctor was very conscientious and kind.
Dr Monfarred is a stellar physician/surgeon.
Knowledgeable, clear and patient, made me feel cared and comfortable
My consultation with Dr. Monfared was excellent.
Dr Monfared is very knowledgeable and caring and very specific with instructions
Doctor provided meds for temporary pain...upgraded to stronger medical as needed. Doctor also provided me with other facilities for physical therapy.
Orthopedic service is excellent
The doctor addressed all my concerns and answered all questions
Would gladly recommend this doctor to any of my family or friends.
Very informative visit with Dr. Hassan and I was able to get a better understanding of my care.
Very good analysis of problem and procedure to address it.
The contrast in treatment by Dr. Monfared was enormous. The doctor was courteous, compassionate, and hopeful. Staff was less than adequate.
I was impressed with Dr Monfared and his staff, in every way!
My first visit with Dr. Monfared. I was pleased with thorough examination and suggestions.
Excellent
Good
The doctor may have been having a bad day due to the previously mentioned delay. He was polite and asked if I had questions, but I didn't have a chance to explain my symptoms fully before he diagnosed me. Perhaps it was that clear cut to him, but it left me wondering if what he identified is the true cause of my current symptoms or just a long-term issue lingering in the background.
Poor communication skills
Over all good appointment
He seemed to be tired and wanted to rush through the appointment. I had to ask him to look at the film he had requested me to bring.
Good
We are incredibly grateful for the exceptional care my mom has received from Dr Monfared and his team. Doctor has put a remarkable level of empathy, and expertise listening to my mom's concerns (thankfully I don't need to translate for her). Dr. Monfared took the time to thoroughly explain my mom's treatment options with patience and clarity. So grateful.
Provider rushed through explanations. Felt like I didn't have a good enough understanding of my condition at the end of this visit
Very professional
Dr. Was Very clear in Explaining the X RAY
Dr. Monfared was very informative. He took his time to explain everything. What he saw in my MRI, what he thought was going on and what he could do to relieve my pain. I left there feeling really good about my visit.
He did not seem to be concerned about the pain I have been in and dismissed any issues I pointed out to him and said he sees the movement in my bones that shouldn't be happening but aren't major issues but for my age they are major issues and have been causing problems for me, I felt dismissed and under looked
I'm a bit frustrated that nothing I have tried to date has been much help in relieving pain. Dr. Monafred was not to be dissuaded. He has a plan and voiced confidence in being able to find a treatment that works. I left more encouraged.
All good
Very professional and thorough with physical examination and interpretation of X-ray findings
Excellent! We returned to Emory Ortho because of the excellent experience my husband had a year ago with the Emory Team
