He CALLS THE POLICEON BLACK PATIENTS WHO DON'T APPROVE OF HIS TREATMENT TOWARDS THEM! Always an arrogant, demeaning & condescending individual, I avoided seeing him whenever possible, but since he's the only 1 left @ the practice, I've had little choice. Yesterday, on 01/17/24., I went, seeking refills on my life-sustaining prescriptions, referrals for upcoming appointments & procedures, and advice on my physical & mental well-being. Despite providing explicit, sometimes intimate personal details about my difficulties of the past year, including MANY personal losses, wydan insisted on berating me for missing appointments, admonished me about how many were on record @ the front desk, and calling me a liar when i told him how, in the wake of my father's recent demise i urgently requested to see him over concerns about my mental & physical health, only to be told that he was sick, had no definitive return date, and that he would be informed but it'd probably be better for me to seek… assistance elsewhere! Knowing what was @ stake I tried to maintain my composure, but when he jumped in my face, began SCREAMING & pointing his finger within a millimeter from my nose, and i requested that hebe a little more courteous and empathetic, he yelled for me to, "get the hell out of his office, and go find another doctor!" When I requested a refund of my copay, he enthusiastically called the ambler police on me! The possible implications of weaponizing police against a black male was not lost on him, as he gleefully stated, "They're coming, so you'd better get out of here!" I went to my vehicle, as he opened his office door, again teased that the cops were coming, then locked the door to add the effect of a dangerous situation. Three police cruisers surrounded me, I was ID'd & interrogated, while I explained what occurred and expressed a desire to survive this ignominious debacle, to see my wife & 3 small boys again. Patrons & shop owners throughout the plaza gathered @ doors & windows, watching as I eventually broke down over the humility of being a 54 year old, accomplished, accredited schoolteacher, being treated in a manner strictly over my racial & ethnic demographics. In 1 last smug act of "exercising his power over others", wydan walked out, hands on hips, smirked, and stated: "You are not allowed to come here ever again, and I'm going to report your behavior to Jefferson health partners!" To him, this was his God-given duty to put minorities in their place, and the ambler police backed him stating, "We know you already said you were done with this place, but that's how rules work out here; since he said it, you can't come out this was anymore!" The message I received was that they were talking about Ambler PERIOD, not just the office! Nonetheless I'm just grateful to be alive currently, though I have my work cut out for me, recouping my medical losses in the limited time @ my disposal. Jefferson health partners should be ashamed for having such a racist scumbag associated with them!
