Zahid A Hoda M.D.| Kaiser Permanente

I recently had breast surgery to remove atypical cells that were found on a mammogram. Cancer scares are nerve-racking and frightening, and Dr. Hoda was reassuring, confident, and informative, and put me, as well as my husband, immediately at ease.

Dr. Hoda was professional, kind, attentive, down to earth, and answered any and all questions in a way that was easy to understand. Throughout the process, he has made himself readily available through email, phone, and visits, and personally called me to deliver pathology results as soon as they were in.

My surgery incision and stitches were carefully done in a way that it will probably not even be noticeable upon healing (I am only 2 weeks post op), and clear instructions for care were given to both me and my husband (who acted as my caregiver and was at every appointment with me).

Despite getting a clear bill of health and no longer needing surgical care, Dr. Hoda kindly assured me that his door is always open should he be able to assist me in any way in the future. Classy, classy doctor.

I have had countless doctors in my life the and dealt with many more through family members' care, and could not be more impressed by a surgeon.
