Dr Dahir is a very good listener and referred me to the balance disorders clinic after I told her about recent falls as part of her exam for the primary reason I see her. I really appreciated her concern and help.

Dr. Dahir is one of the most intelligent, superb, amazing, encouraging, affirming, deeply compassionate doctors I have ever met. I am eternally grateful for her and would not be where I am today without her exceptional patient and clinical care (which should serve as a model in her field). When I see her for my biannual appointment appointments, I feel like I'm the only patient in the world and nothing else matters. She listens intently, looks at the entire clinical picture, Intakes, detailed notes. I'm never rushed, and I love how at the end of my patient visit she'll ask If there were any other concerns or things that weren't covered or I'd like to share. I appreciate how she keeps me updated on the latest research for my condition (HPP), and also Informs me of any clinical study opportunities. Her and her care team act swiftly to answer any questions I may have on the patient portal/or phone in. Her level of advocacy is second to none and she and her team make sure I have everything I need. She truly goes above and beyond.
