This was my second visit with Dr Mohamed and on both occasions I was treated by both his staff and Dr. Mohamed himself, with patience, kindness and a genuine interest in my well being. He never seemed hurried or uncaring. I am so impressed and have already recommended him to my wife and a dear friend and neighbor. I would recommend Dr. Mohamed to anyone who would ask me for a cardiologist.rater8 Verified Patient

I have been a patient of Chicago Cardiology for over 30 years and I rate Dr. Mohamed as an EXCELLENT SURGEON who performed a process of placing CLIPS on My tricuspid valve to close a severe leakage to a minimal one. It is successful and My recovery has improved My overall health.

In 2017, I had my 1st heart attack. I think Dr Mohamed was the Cardiologist on call to the ER. Anyway, he did what he had to and I'm still here. 3 months later I had another heart attack. Another Dr from the same practice was on call and once again, I'm still here. They will always receive 5 stars

Excellent first visit with Dr. Mohamed after my prior cardiologist retired. Dr. M was extremely thorough, both in reviewing my historical record and with the current examination. He also listened very well, explained very well, and ordered prompt follow-up. Overall superb.

I appreciated how well Dr. Mohamed explained what he could do and could not do if we did more testing or wait and see if my valve got worse in the next couple of months.

Dr. Mohamed pretty much saved my life 4 years ago following a Pulmonary Embolism which had filled both of my lungs with massive clots. His fine work and a newer procedure done to dissolve all the clots quickly, has me living and able to write this today. He has performed a number of vein openings procedures on both of my lower legs that have helped increased circulation in the lower legs. Have always had very good and factual discussions with him when scheduled. Thank you Dr. Mohamed.rater8 Verified Patient
