Dr. Homayoon Mahjoob, MD

If I could pick zero stars I would. Please do not go to this doctor. My first visit was a horrible experience and I wanted to give him a chance, so I went back a second time and it was a huge mistake. My appointment was at 2:30 pm and I was not called into a room until 3:30 pm. I am sitting in the waiting area and patients continue to come in, but no one is being called to the back. At 3:00 pm, the doctor comes in through the front door and says, " I made it". I was confused. I had been sitting in the waiting area for 45 minutes and unaware that he wasn't even in the office. First, if he was late the receptionist should have mentioned it and secondly, he should have come to the office and apologized for making his patients wait. I understand 15 minutes but an hour to be seen. When I am finally called to the back, he comes in and asks for my labs and I told him my primary doctor sent them over and he states we did not receive any lab work. He never performs any work on me such as feel… on my stomach, ask me questions regarding the issues I was having. He tells me that he doesn’t like to repeat work so that I need to come back with my labs. He probably could tell by the look on my face that this was a waste of my time and he quickly said well let me call your doctor’s office to see if they can resend. I go back to the waiting area and I am looking at the one receptionist that is also the same nurse that calls you to the back and takes your vitals. After ten minutes pass and I still don’t see her make a call I get up and ask her if she is going to call. She says yes, I will call them shortly. Another ten minutes pass and the doctor comes out and asks oh did they send her lab yet and she replies I haven’t called yet can you call. The doctor walks away and comes back 15 minutes later to say that my doctor’s office did not pick up and he would hate for me to sit and wait. I looked at him puzzled as if I hadn’t already wasted an hour waiting on him and then another hour for them to decide when they were going to call my doctor for the labs. Once again, the doctor could tell I was getting upset and said no worries come back next week as a follow-up and there is no co-pay. The next day I called my doctor’s office and they reassured me that they sent over my lab work with the referral. The receptionist forwarded me my labs to avoid the same issue. Hesitantly, I decided to return for the follow-up. I received a call from the receptionist a day before my appointment and I ask did you receive my labs this time and she puts me on hold. After a few seconds, she says no we did not can you call them again. Luckily, I already had them. I walk in and while I am signing in the doctor comes out and sees me and asks the receptionist did we receive her lab results and the receptionist gives him a puzzled look and I quickly said I figured so I have them with me. He looks at my labs and says you have stomach infection we take care of you in front of the other patients in the waiting area. He whispers something to the receptionist and she then says it will be a $40 copay. I told her no he told me this was a follow-up that I would not have to pay a co-pay and she said that I still had to. After paying I sit down and think to myself how unprofessional. I finally get called to the room and he comes in saying okay so what’s going on stomach pain right and I began to tell him my symptoms. As I am speaking, he is looking at me as if he completely doesn’t care what I am telling him. He then asks me how old I am and says you need this let me show you. He leads me into another room and from a cabinet he pulls out a display of a stomach with a balloon in it. I said okay what is that – he says you need this for 6 months and then a year you have to see me, and we will work with you. He puts the display back in the cabinet which I found odd – why doesn’t he keep it out? He was literally trying to sell me his weight loss program. He then says so when do you want to start the procedure in two weeks. Not even allowing me to talk he takes me to the receptionist and I told her do not schedule anything and walked out. I would never ever recommend this doctor to anyone- he is a scam. He did not once mention anything about the stomach infection he mentioned in the waiting area. If I am having issues with my stomach, why not ask me questions about my eating patterns and feel on my stomach especially in the area where I was having pain. Why not restrict certain foods to see if my symptoms would clear. Please do not go to this doctor he is a scam and I would never ever recommend him to anyone. I was so upset that I wasted not only $80 but wasted my time. He is full of himself and comes off very arrogant. He does not care about his patients. I am doing this review so that no one has to endure what I did with this doctor. He has 1 review on google that he probably paid someone for and that’s why it says 5 stars. You have to really do your research to find reviews for him and they are all similar to mine. Unfortunately, other patients when as far as having procedures done by him. I would never ever put my life in this doctors’ hands and this is why I am sharing my experience.
