When you or your loved one is sick,you want the very best.Dr Qayyum was listed as a senior surgeon in Palos hospital,and was recommended by many in the area,so we decided to investigate. Everyone in his hospital spoke very highly of Dr Qayyum's experience,bedside manners and personal care and compassion he shows.He had a longstanding reputation in the medical community:when doctors and nurses need a surgeon for their family,it is Dr Qayyum they think of .That is why when our mother needed the care of a surgeon in the course of her cancer treatment,we called his office:they took the extra effort to make sure every question and concern I had was addressed.The office was clean,the staff professional and the doctor treated our sick mother with respect and dignity.He restored our faith in the medical profession as one of care and compassion.We highly recommend him should anyone ever need a surgeon.
