Not sure what to say?

A kind, thoughtful man and a talented caring doctor. Blessed to have known him. Grateful for his many years of wonderful care of my husband.

I miss you my friend. There will always be a special place in my heart for you

Dr. Ghazal introduced a new and superior technique to do hip joint replacement to Fresno; the anterior approach. With this technique no muscles are detached and no muscles are cut. The result is that post surgery hip joint dislocations are almost unheard of, recovery is much more rapid. Due to my MS it was necessary for me to have 1 week of rehab it Visalia. My 4.5" incision was of great interest as the anterior approach was not done there in 2010. I shall forever be grateful to Dr. Ghazal.

Dr. Ghazal operated on my knees due to soccer injuries and each time he did a great job. He will be greatly missed. My thoughts and prayers are with his family.

R.I.P. DR.GHAZAL. IF THE NEXT SURGEON DOE'S HALF AS GOOD A SURGERY ON MY NEXT SHOULDER AS DR. GHAZAL DID ON MY FIRST. IT'LL BE A COMPLETE SUCCESS. NO OFFENSE INTENDED. JUST WANT PEOPLE TO KNOW WHAT A GREAT SURGEON AND HUMAN BEING THIS MAN WAS.

Malcolm is my nephew and I always thought highly of him. He was smart, well educated, and very caring to every member of our large family. He was well liked by everyone and touched the lives of many. He had a passion for living and his kindness and generosity were unsurpassed. I am confident that one day we will meet him in the presence of the Lord. God bless.

There are no words to describe Dr. Ghazal, he was just so talented and special. He performed surgery on my husband's hips both of them and did a fantastic job. He knew we didn't live close by so when it was time for my husband to be discharged from the hospital he came before we left and told us if we needed anything he was a phone call away and handed us his cell phone number and said call day or night I am available 24 hours a day. He even went as far as calling himself to check up on...

Will always remember this very gifted surgeon! Very much loved and respected!

Dr. Ghazal treated my husband for a shoulder injury. I loved going to the appointments when I knew Dr. Ghazal was going to be there. On our first appointment I commented on his socks and we must have chatted and laughed for a good 15 minutes before he discussed my husbands injury. I was so saddened when my husband told me of Dr. Ghazal's passing. People do not realize how one person can touch a life. My husband and I will always remember his quick wit and those beautiful socks!
