| - SOOO many bad experiences at this place!!! I wish there was a negative rating! where to begin...
Office staff - BEYOND HORRIBLE. Brooke - NEVER returns a phone call. Amber - RUDE. I call Tabassi's physician assistant "Helga the Torturer." She can make a q-tip feel like a scalpel! It's difficult to schedule appointments any time soon, and you are GUARANTEED to wait a MINIMUM of 1 1/2 hours to over 3 hours. I did discover, when I stopped by a couple times without an appointment, there was NOBODY in the waiting room and no cars in the parking lot. Makes me think they just jam up certain days of the week with appointments and do who knows what the rest of the time? Paperwork is never completed or sent when they say it will be. Refills are never submitted when they say they will be. Phone calls are never returned. They always act like it's the patient's fault when one of their staff members blatantly drops the ball instead of apologizing. They're all RUDE and LAZY! The ONLY person who works there who IS super nice and seems genuinely caring is Vanessa. Too bad the rest of the staff is horrible!
Tabassi - I USED to think she was a good doctor, until pregnancy happened...actually even from pre-pregnancy. Bc of my advanced age, we decided to go ahead and do preliminary blood work when my husband and I decided we wanted to try to get pregnant. When my FSH level came back as 18, she told me I would probably need to find a surrogate, that I had bad eggs. Well, for starters, after a visit to a fertility doc, I learned I was perfectly capable of carrying, I DID have high FSH levels that were greatly improved and in the perfectly normal range after discontinuing birth control and taking DHEA and Co-Q10 within just 5 months. Many tears were shed in the beginning thinking I had no chance of conceiving.
Once I did find out I had naturally conceived, she recommended that we take a "simple blood test that will tell us the sex of the baby" that was non-invasive and totally safe, not like an amnio that had the risk of miscarriage. And no problem financially, since I was double-covered by insurance, so there would be no cost to me. WELL - I'm assuming she gets a kick back from Natera - the makers of this so-called 99.9% accurate Panorama test, DO NOT TAKE IT!!! The number of false positives for abnormal chromosomes is climbing! They finally took "no false positives" off their home page, I'll be shocked if they're not slapped with a class action lawsuit! The test came back, and she told us our baby was likely to have down syndrome. Many MORE tears happened of course, and it took a week to schedule an amnio to confirm - and then two more weeks to get amnio results. THE WORST THREE WEEKS of my pregnancy for sure! Amnio proved the Panorama test WAS in fact wrong, and our baby was totally normal. That test costs just under $4000. Both my insurances made small adjustments to the cost, but we still got a final bill for almost $2000. My husband called Natera and told them what happened, they said they have a contract with Tabassi's office and supposedly they're looking into it, and we'll hopefully NOT have to pay anything.
Every time I had a prenatal checkup, Tabassi would forget the sex of the baby, and would say things she thought she remembered about past visits that never actually happened...making me think she really wasn't genuine, and really wasn't interested in what was going on with me as a patient at all.
She discharged me from the hospital after my c-section without signing the pain med prescription!!! My pharmacy was closed by the time she did. Awful night!!!
She knew i had a history of depression, but did nothing to try to prevent postpartum depression from hitting me like a ton of bricks. Turns out, Vitamin D3 supplements and progesterone taken IMMEDIATELY after delivery can significantly lessen the chances of depression. She also put me on some Level 4 blood pressure medicine while I was in the hospital after delivery that caused a whole LAUNDRY LIST of horrible side effects. My primary care doc said she should have never put me on something so strong without trying at least 3 other types. She prescribed Zoloft, even though I had "jittery" symptoms already from the blood pressure med...Zoloft made me even more jittery! Primary care doc switched me to Lexapro, which is the same thing as Zoloft minus the jittery effect. You'd think if she'd handled so many patients like me, SHE'D KNOW THIS STUFF BETTER!
After spending forever in her waiting room, losing years off my life from so much stress, worry, crying and lack of sleep from so much BAD INFORMATION, her staff had the nerve to try to charge me $25 to fill out ONE FORM I needed for more information to give my disability company so I could get paid the extra two weeks Tabassi had told me that I would not be able to return to work. Amber even told me she checked with Tabassi, and they would not waive the fee. That was the last straw. DONE with them! DON'T GO THERE!!!
