My primary physician referred me to Dr. Aftab Mahmood. As a 73-year-old female diagnosed with non-smoker lung cancer, Dr. Mahmood has been a godsend to my well-being and longevity. He is truly one of a kind among ALL the doctors I have encountered. He is dedicated to his patients in every way that counts. He is vocal, hands-on, compassionate, and extremely thorough. He speaks in terms you understand, clear and productive. He covered all aspects of my cancer treatment with concise details, so there were no questions left unanswered. As a cancer doctor, he makes certain you are well cared for in and out of his office. He referred me to a wonderful thoracic surgeon who successfully removed my lung cancer and also a radiation specialist. Both are top-notch professionals. Dr. Mahmood has a trained staff that is equally devoted to patient care. They are attentive and dedicated. I feel so cared for and at peace with Dr. Mahmood and his staff. I am grateful to have him as my doctor. Do NOT hesitate to call for an appointment. You will NOT be sorry. 100+ stars!

If you want to get poor customer service and fight for what you need medically than go to Dr. Aftab Mahmoods. My Wife needed an iron fusion urgently for over a month during pregnancy with critically low iron levels. After weeks of a simple iron infusion needing to be ordered, we had to call and go back and forth with nurse Wendy about things like the insurance hasn't responded the infusion center hasn't responded, excuse after excuse. More like she was to busy or to lazy to pick up a phone and make it happen efficiently. Eventually contacted the "Office manager". No immediate resolve. After calling with no answer a few mornings later, we ended up directly calling the infusion center that was supposedly the reason for the hold up, only to find out thatthat the incorrect iron infusion was ordered days ago, they had contacted them back to let them know, and Mahmoods office hadn't replied. I feel bad for Dr. Mahmood because his staff is ruining his name. Maybe their aren't enough options in town so they are just used to collecting insurance, but wow. This is the health field. Efficiently in these matters is something to be expected.

Not accommodating or considerate to terminally ill patients. No sense of urgency. The first words from the staff were how much my copayment was, I would not recommend.

I have been to Dr. Mahmood, but i do not seem to have him come into the patient's room. I have only seen his assistant or a nurse practitioner. I have not seen the Dr. yet.

If you have cancer please seek another oncologist I lost my mother due to this incompetent , careless and misleading doctor. He seems helpful and caring but after awhile he stops doing his job.

He is a very compassionate doctor with a lot of empathy and care for his patients. He certainly made my journey to fight cancer a lot easier. He was there in my care whenever I needed him. I am cancer free now. I would recommend Dr. Mahmood if anyone is looking for a cancer doctor in South Texas.
