I am writing to provide a testimony regarding Dr. Seyoum Kassa, who has dedicated a significant portion of his career to serving his community as a surgeon.
Over my Cardiothoracic Surgery fellowship years, I have had the privilege of working with and mentored by him so that I can witness his unwavering commitment to patient care, professionalism, and surgical excellence.
Dr. Seyoum has been an integral part of our medical community for a number of years, consistently demonstrating exceptional skill in various surgical procedures.
Beyond technical skills, Dr. Seyoum embodies the values of compassion and empathy that are essential in the medical field. He takes time to communicate effectively with patients, ensuring they understand their conditions and treatment options. This patient-centered approach not only alleviates concerns but also fosters trust and confidence in the surgical process.
He is a respected mentor to both junior staff and medical students, sharing knowledge and encouraging a culture of continuous learning and meticulous skill transfer. His collaborative spirit has significantly contributed to the development of a supportive environment within the hospital. His long-standing service, exemplary surgical skills, and dedication to patient care have profoundly impacted the lives of many individuals and the broader community.
Moreover, your punctuality serves as a model for your colleagues, staff and junior physicians (Medical students, Residents and Fellows). Arriving on time and respecting the schedules of others fosters a professional atmosphere in the operating room and throughout the clinic. This practice not only enhances the overall efficiency of surgical procedures but also minimizes patient anxiety, thereby improving their experience.
Dear Dr Seyoum Kassa, I want to take a moment to sincerely thank you for your invaluable guidance and mentorship you have provided throughout my cardiothoracic surgery fellowship.
I invite you watch his podcast session
I wish you a long life!
Dr. Abdela Hayato, General and Cardiothoracic Surgeon
