Dr. Hussein Al Jobori, MD

Our experience with Dr. Al Jobori at St. David’s North Austin Medical Center was extremely disappointing and, frankly, frightening. He was our assigned hospital physician, yet he rarely came to see us unless we specifically asked the nurse to contact him. Even when he did come, he provided very few answers to our questions or concerns. What was most troubling was that when issues arose that he could not adequately address, he refused to have the appropriate specialists consulted. As a patient or family member, you expect your hospital physician to listen, investigate concerns, communicate clearly, and bring in specialists when necessary. Instead, we felt as though we had to repeatedly advocate just to get basic attention to serious concerns. The most disturbing part came when he ended the conversation by telling us that he had other patients to see. We completely understand that physicians are busy and have many patients to care for, but that should never come at the expense of… listening to a patient or addressing legitimate medical concerns. Our experience left us feeling ignored, dismissed, and deeply concerned about the level of care being provided. When you are in a hospital, you should be able to trust that your physician is taking your concerns seriously. Unfortunately, we did not have that confidence with Dr. Al Jobori. This was not simply a disappointing bedside manner—it was an experience that left us genuinely scared and questioning whether our concerns were receiving the attention they deserved.
