His duties included handling all dental emergencies at the hospital such as various dental traumas (broken and avulsed teeth), as well as important facial swellings due to dental and oral abscesses. He treated many hospitalized patients, including medically compromised patients (organ transplant, chemotherapy, radiotherapy, AIDS, HIV, haemophilia) or those requiring special attention such as children with autism or Down’s syndrome.

Upon his return to Montreal in 2004, Dr. Hakim was hired as a clinician in dental diagnostics and emergencies at the Université de Montréal. Since 2004 Dr. Hakim is a clinician in general dentistry at the Jewish General Hospital in Montreal.
