Dr. Islam was incredibly well-prepared for the appointment and seemed to know my entire health history despite this being our first time meeting (she was filling in for my usual provider). Dr. Islam was attentive, thorough, empathetic, and detailed. I was navigating a difficult medical decision during the appointment and she explained my options to me in a way I could understand and supported my decision-making. She also reached out to my other specialists to get their feedback and scheduled a follow-up appt in a timely manner. I felt that I was in excellent hands.

I had never met Dr. Sabina Islam before and thought she was wonderful. She was very thorough, listened, laughed (when appropriate) and I would gladly see her again. She has the qualities I would want in a Primary Care Physician. I hope the hospital and practice appreciates the hard word that these doctors do.

I saw Dr.Sabina Islam for the first time because my assigned PCP Is on leave for almost a year now. Dr. Sabina was exceptional. She was the one special PCP who was great at her work. She was knowledgeable. She showed respectful kind patience to catch up with my background. It was my first appointment with her. Her willingness to listen and resolve my health concerns and issues were amazing. She is the definition of how a doctor should be. I am so impressed. This evaluation is specifically for her not for other services I received from Bullfinch medical group. Kind regards.

Dr. Islam checked me for a general health pre-op I needed before eye surgery. She was so thorough in her examination, especially regarding my overall cardiovascular readiness for any anesthesia that might be needed. She answered all my health questions with solid info. Her later summary of my visit was extremely detailed and she put extra info regarding my concern over blood pressure into my file. Her warm, friendly manner made my visit a pleasure. What a wonderful asset Dr. Islam is to the MASS/Brigham team.

I had missed my appointment with my PCP twice, (my bad, not hers) so I rescheduled to see Dr. Islam for my annual Although Dr. I is not my PCP, she had clearly prepared herself for my physical. She has consulted with my wonderful PCP, D. Reilly, and she familiarized herself with my medical record. I am not an easy patient. I'm not good at clear communication. In spite of that fact, Dr. I was excellent! I highly recommend her to anyone who has not yet been assigned a PCP. I'm very lucky to have seen these 2 gems! Thank you Drs. Islam & Reilly!!!
