“Dr Abdulla’s compassionate approach and his persistence changed my life. With a previous cardiologist using only the national protocols for A-Fib treatment, for ten years I was actually experiencing increased frequency and increased duration of A-Fib events. When he first saw me he refused to accept that my condition could not be improved. He determined that I was in a minority group for A-Fib (vagally mediated) and that I had to receive a different strategy for my condition. Within a year I was experiencing almost zero events, and they were all very short in duration. The quality of life improved for me dramatically. Dr Abdulla is the only physician in my experience, in more than 50 years, who came to every appointment having already read the file and with a page of notes. He encourages patients to learn about their condition to be able to have useful conversations with him. He was clear and patient when explaining the science of my condition, and frank and honest about the choices I had for my treatment. My life is dramatically better for having had Dr. Abdulla as my cardiologist.”

“Dr. Abdulla is among the most competent interventional cardiologists in medicine. His knowledge is current, cosmopolitan, and overarching. His insights go beyond the normal diagnosis in that he overlays knowledge of culture, diet, and inherited predispositions over the existing medical template to evaluate and diagnose conditions. My experience has been overwhelmingly mesmerising. What a brilliant star! It is my distinct privilege to know him and to benefit from his supervision.”

“I was referred to Dr. Abdulla after some serious cardiovascular complications. From the day I visited him to the day he decided to retire, he looked after me with great care, compassion, and integrity. He is very knowledgeable and an expert in the field of cardiovascular disease, including the complications that arise from it. Under his guidance, my health improved substantially, and I have been stable for the last six years, leading a healthy life. Before he retired, he referred me to one of his very competent colleagues to ensure that I received continued good care. I shall miss him for his compassion and for his care, but equally for his sense of humour!”

“I was privileged to be under the care of Dr. Abdulla to get a second opinion on my medical condition, and I am extremely grateful to him for the accurate diagnosis he provided. Dr. Abdulla is very patient and truly cares about his patients. He is very thorough, and listens, and is therefore able to give you the right advice. I am also appreciative of the fact that he is the only doctor I have encountered who does not go straight to ‘the drug prescription’ route — he always looks at natural alternatives first. To put it simply: the manner in which he consults, and the time he gives to his patients, is very reassuring, and that in itself is a big step toward healing and getting back to normalcy. I am sad that we do not have him in the clinical system, as we definitely need more doctors like him.”

“I worked with Dr. Alnoor Abdulla when he presented CHE (Continuing Health Education) programs in the field of cardiology to physicians in the Vancouver area, while I was with two large multinational pharmaceutical companies. His passion and knowledge in his presentations was always evident. Physician evaluations were positive, and he influenced change in practices and understanding of cardiovascular risk management, especially in the South Asian population, which is at higher risk for CV disease.”

“Dr. Abdulla is passionate about education and improving healthcare outcomes for patients. I had the opportunity to work with Dr. Abdulla on many occasions and found him to be extremely knowledgeable, professional, and willing to go above and beyond to help his colleagues.”

“I’ve had the pleasure and privilege of working with Dr. Abdulla on a variety of different projects. Dr. Abdulla was always very passionate about every task he took on, and considered how his actions would ultimately affect patient care. I found him to be a great teacher, even when he was not asked to be. He innately finds a way of communicating to his audience that allows them to understand and embody the concepts he is conveying. I look forward to the opportunity of working with him again, in whatever capacity it may be.”
