Dr. Walid Hesham, MD

Dr. Hesham was not only a good listener, but he clearly understood my concerns and conditions. He also provided excellent surgical care and post-surgical care. He remembered everything we had talked about in the past, all the steps he took during the surgical procedure, and discussed openly and clearly what I should expect for my future. Highly recommend.

Had been recommended to ask for Dr. Hesham when I entered LGH with Crohn's disease complication of abscess at ileocecal valve site. He performed a bowel resection with an ileocecal procedure, fortunately leaving me without an ileostomy. His friendliness, warmth, and candor were so greatly appreciated. He'd pull a stool up to bedside so on eye level for our chats. His explanations were always clear and he always had time for my many questions. A more caring surgeon doesn't exist! He is a jewel! Thank you, Dr. Hesham!

My relative had him as surgeon. Totally incompetent. Ignored complaints and suffered irreparable problems because of negligence. Do not go to this dr

Horrible surgeon. Incompetent and neglected anything said by patient/nurse. Patient was in for a Stoma reversal. Untrustworthy, horrible explanation of conditions, “can’t be bothered” attitude, does not respond, refused important testing so that he would not be blamed for horrible medical mistake. Patient advocacy had to be called to demand blood work & CT scan. Patient was misdiagnosed with an ileus even though the papers from radiology team stated “POSSIBLE ileus with obstruction not ruled out” Released two days later with no further testing and nothing done about ileus except a handful of paperwork to read. Patient was sent back to ER four days later where a different surgeon found an obstruction, bowel leak at reversal site, abcess, and loads of fluid leaking into body. Patient then underwent major ER surgery where their stoma was brought back (or else it would have been fatal) and was put in intermediate ICU. The original surgeon never responded to or checked on patient. Run. Far.

Dr. Heshum is the best!!!! When I was faced with a very scary diagnosis, he made me feel calm and talked me through everything. I owe my life to him and would highly recommend him to everyone. Thank you again Dr. Hesham

Best bowel surgeon. I was walking in hall at hospital and he came to find me to ask if I had questions about my surgery. Very personable.
