Dr. Arash Yaghoobian, MD

DO NOT SEE THIS DOCTOR. My father left his appointment feeling dismissed, disrespected, and completely hopeless. The visit with the doctor lasted four minutes. Despite my father having five herniated discs, the doctor did not review the MRI discs or any paperwork he brought with him. He did not ask how my father was feeling, did not listen to him explain his symptoms, did not provide a prognosis, or offer any meaningful treatment plan. His only recommendation was massages that still need authorization. The doctor entered the room with a rude attitude and came off strongly pretty quickly into the visit about “no surgery” despite my father never even bringing it up. He asked my dad whether he had questions but did not actually allow him to ask them. While my father was trying to ask a question the doctor rudely interrupted “that’s not a question.” My father confronted him about the unprofessionalism and this doctor couldn’t care less as long as he’s getting paid. No, my dad wasn’t… able to ask any questions because the doctor didn’t want to hear them. My father then tried asking about what he should or should not be doing to prevent further injury and the doctor’s response was LITERALLY “figure it out.” He abruptly ended the visit by saying, “Okay, you’re done.” When my father asked what he was supposed to do next, he was told to wait outside. No follow-up appointment was scheduled, and he was left with no guidance. Afterward, I read the other one-star reviews, and their descriptions of rushed appointments, poor manner, failure to properly review medical information, and dismissive treatment were disturbingly similar to what my father experienced. I don’t believe any of the 5 star reviews to be real experiences. A specialist should provide patients with answers, direction, and at least a basic level of compassion—especially when they are already dealing with pain and uncertainty. My father received none of that. This was one of the most unprofessional and uncaring medical encounters he has ever experienced. HIRE AN ATTORNEY AND FIND BETTER MEDICAL CARE
