Dr. Ghazanfar A Khan, MD

He also practices out of North Tampa Behavioral Center. This facility actively manipulated its patients into signing documents that keep them longer than necessary, participated in practices seeking to defraud insurance and Medicaid, and makes little to no effort to properly diagnose and treat the people admitted here. They treat charts and paperwork not patients. It is a money making machine that disregards the welfare of the most vulnerable among us. Currently they are illegally keeping family members from visiting with their loved ones under the guise of Covid regulations (which have been lifted) while providing no basic sanitation inside. Patients are not required to wear masks, they are not provided with soap and there is filth accumulating in communal areas. The doctors are apathetic and disinterested in anything other than meeting apparent quotas to keep patients an average of 6 days. See anyone else!

My mother found out the practice was permanently closed when she arrived for an appointment. No response to repeated requests for her treatment records. Leaving psychiatric patients under care to fend for themselves is unprofessional and unethical to say the least.

In addition to the above, I called his office today to ask a question about. a medication. It appeared his practice is now Permanently Closed. I was never told and was left to search for a new physician.

Needs to be shut down

My wife left his office after many of her meds were eliminated In without explanation. He said he never had ordered one of the meds but that was not true. In the car, she became extremely anxious and broke into tears. We went back into the office to explain what had happened to the nurse, who is very nice and competent. She found the med the doctor said he had not prescribed in her computer. He never even sent the prescriptions he did prescribe to the pharmacy and my wife was left high and dry since our calls to his office went unanswered. Her anxiety peaked at 170 so into the local ER we went. All in all his lack of compassion and his actions without discussing anything with us as to why he acted as he did left us vulnerable . Furthermore, he told my wife's PCP an inaccurate story about how she supposedly visited a doctor to get Xanax when in fact that doctor prescribed it during her hospitalization. Another woman in his waiting room said she had cancer and the doctor took her off the… meds she had taken for years and was looking elsewhere for treatment.
