Allen C Hassan, MD

Dr. Makram Samaan, PHD
Professor Emeritus (CSU)
I have known Dr. Hassan for no less than 20 years, based on my personal experience, our mutual patients, and his own staff over the years and other medical & legal colleagues, all indicated strongly to his full professional integrity. They too point out his excellent medical competence, passionate compassion for his patients, and especially for our war Veterans and the poor. I treated him for his PTSD as he cared for the casualties of war, mostly woman and children and old people and Marines. He witness the massacre of many innocent Vietnamese, the Marines suffered equally as did the enemy. On or about 2003, one afternoon, I was visiting his office in a professional discussion of some of our mutual patients. He showed signs of surprise when 2 persons entered his office and presented themselves as FBI, CIA or Home Security Officers, and they would like to talk with him. As they sat down at the conference table, one of them made a remark, «we are here to ask you some questions regarding your security and safety to the community; you have been reported as a possible «terrorist». Dr. Hassan opened his mouth in an owe! The officer continued, «You don’t seem like one.» Dr. Hassan was already agitated and distressed, and began to ask questions about their credentials, identity– and they showed their badges. Then he continued to ask questions about What, How, When, Where and Who. The officers set aside his questions and continued with their inquiry questions, he answered them all. At several times the questions were of a pattern as if the allegations are true and that he has to prove his innocence (Unconstitutionally, my understanding is that our system is founded on the assumption of innocence until the accuser provide verification or proof of the allegation). When Dr. Hassan asked, why they didn’t check with Medical Board about his loyalty, they announced, «The Medical Board sent us!». Dr. Hassan felt saddened and show disappointment, when the officer requested him to stand against the wall for his picture to be taken, as the practice usually with criminal suspects. Dr. Hassan was not suspect of any criminal activities. Dr. Hassan, an honorable Marine Corp Hero, and he himself is a pacifist. Nevertheless, when the call to serve fellow veterans who are casualty of war, Dr. Hassan was the first to volunteer to put him self-​forward in harms way to save lives of American Veterans, and his government finally crowned him as if he is a criminal and branded his honorable achievements as terrorist acts, because of his ethnicity. Every Patient, Professional in Medicine, allied health professionals and Attorneys who have dealt with Dr. Allen Hassan, attested to his patriotism, honorable behavior, professional performance and above all his passion to serve.
