4th Quarter 2024 Provider Award Recipient

Edward Abdullah, MD
Cardiology

Dr. Abdullah’s attention to detail and communication skills are the best! Regardless of how busy he is, or how complex a patient situation may be, Dr. Abdullah leaves nothing uncovered. He is quick to call a patient’s family to discuss discharge needs so our case managers can prepare in advance. He lends as much time as needed, leading these conversations with kindness and compassion, while consistently making sure the team knows the outcome of these conversations. Dr. Abdullah sets the gold standard for thorough and detailed patient notes, something truly appreciated by care team and fellow physicians. Congratulations, Dr. Abdullah!


3rd Quarter 2024 Provider Award Recipient

Nima Naimi, DO
Nephrology/Internal Medicine

Dr. Naimi has been a member of San Antonio’s medical staff since 2014. He received our most recent provider award after being nominated by a patient who wrote, “Dr. Naimi took great care to hear my concerns and explain the treatments and plans. He always did it with a good attitude and never rushed while going over my plan. He made me feel like he cared about my health and recovery.” Dr. Naimi is a wonderful example of a patient-centered physician who treats those he cares for with compassion, integrity, and respect. Among his many talents, Dr. Naimi happens to speak four languages: English, Farsi, French, and Spanish!


1st Quarter 2024 Provider Award Recipient

Delia M. Nassman, DO
Emergency Medicine

Dr. Nassman’s kindness and compassion shine through in the outstanding care she provides to her patients. She goes above and beyond to explain the patient’s condition and situation. She works especially well with our pediatric patients and their families. Dr. Nassman is a great mentor to team members working alongside her. She makes time for ED staff who are interested in learning, and explains without hesitation about procedures and conditions. Dr. Nassman is an inspiration and inspires those around her to be better caregivers to our San Antonio patients. Congratulations, Dr. Nassman!
