Dr. Wael Fakhoury, MD

I saw Dr. Fakhoury today and my 3 month old baby was with me in his stroller. This Dr. just walked in and didn’t even acknowledge me he just went and touched my baby. Touched his legs and his hands and his face! I didn’t see him wash his hands after entering or before exiting the room. I didn’t even have the chance to tell him not to touch my child, he just did it. I wouldn’t be so upset if he actually acknowledged me as a mother and asked permission before putting his possibly dirty hands all over my baby. As a doctor, he should know to never touch a baby’s hands and face! What if he was just dealing with a patient with an infection, measels, or some other contagious disease? Sure he MAY have sanitized his hands but I can’t know for sure cause he didn’t acknowledge me before touching! He is very kind, but that to me was extremely careless. Apparently his brain shuts off the second he sees a cute baby.
