Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

The worst experience
The worst experience ever, I'm glad I keep digging until I was able to talk dr. Hakeem, but his coordinator just don't listen at all. I was looking forward to have my surgery with Dr Hakeem I ask for TT revision and ibnl, and 360 I guess his assistant had me as a scar revision I had ask Laurie what was the difference between those 2 procedures and she replied it's the same thing, I ask her 2 times I even send her pictures of what I need done she never replied with questions I drove 7 hours I spend $ in hotel,gas,blood test X-ray,EKG, I give deposit. And a day before my surgery I know something was not right so I insisted on talking to dr. Hakeem and he responded my worries Laurie had me for a whole different procedures, please,please listen to your patients! I'm more then upset I even email her how much will be if dr. Will do TT revision and she never replied back. I drove back home so disappointed. I still not heard back from anyone.

Dr. Hakeem was a little bit of a jerk and had smart remarks. He didn't make me feel comfortable. It's a shame because I really was hoping to get my tt with him. They have a special going on for $9,999 and it includes a mommy make over (breast augmentation, tt with lipo to flanks). It's the best special I have found but Im not sure it's worth going to someone who made me feel uncomfortable.

I waited about nine year to move forward with my breast augmentation. Had many consults in different places, but none made me feel as comfortable as Dr. Hakeem It's been such a great experience and I'm 100% satisfied with the results. The girls in the office are great, nice and friendly.

Had consultations with 5 different surgeons, but Dr Al-Hakeem took the Medal for most passionate realistic Experienced Surgeon. Take a look at his CV and you will see what I'm talking about. I'm EXTREMELY PLEASED with his work, and his nurses are all AMAZING! Took good care of me, and still are. I'm in my two week recovery and its going very well with the guidance of Dr Al-Hakeem. Thank you for this life changing experience! I highly recommend this institution for all your life changing needs!

I am now 6 months post op and I love my breast implants. Dr. Hakeem helped me decide on a size that fit my body type as well as met my expectations. He and the staff at Advanced Surgical Institute were very helpful and pleasant and always addressed any questions/ concerns I had. Will definitely come back and get other procedures done in the future!
