Congratulations Dr. Kassam. I just wanted to wish you much success and good fortune in your new post. I also wanted to thank you for granting me more time with my family. It has been over one year since you performed surgery on me, one that I am sure that you will remember, and I am a living testimony of your knowledge and skill but most of all your compassion for your fellow man. Thank you again.
Good Luck on your new endeavor Dr. Kassam. God has given you a great gift which you willingly share with those in need of your expertise. I was fortunate enough to have you operate on me. I am from the Pittsburgh area and had surgery in January 2008.
Anyone ever touched by this man knows the importance of the work he does! I gave my trust to him in 2006 for removal of a pitutiary macroadinoma….I am in remission since then! Pittsburgh will sorely miss him but he is and has been the worlds gain! Thank you Dr. Kassam, for giving me my life!
