Dr. Irene Atef Mikhail, MD

Unfortunately, this was an extremely disappointing experience. The allergist was rude and abrasive from the beginning, and I never felt that there was an opportunity to openly discuss my concerns. I brought clear images of the hives for her to review, but she would not look at them. She also did not seem to remember that she had seen us previously, which was concerning given the circumstances of the visit. I felt very belittled throughout the appointment and left feeling as though she had already made up her mind about the situation before fully listening to us. No testing was performed, and I did not feel that my concerns were taken seriously. I eventually walked out of the appointment and told her that, as someone who also works in healthcare, I would never treat a patient the way I felt we were treated. Only then did her demeanor change and she became apologetic. Unfortunately, the interaction left such a negative impression that I would not feel comfortable returning to this… office. I believe patients should feel heard, respected, and comfortable discussing their concerns, especially when seeking care for something as frightening and uncertain as an allergic reaction.

I tried to reach the doctor pertaining my daughter having an allergic reaction to diary after being advised she didn’t have one. She and staff ignored me from 8am to 4pm states she wasn’t returning their calls and to go to the emergency room on the middle of RSV season. It shows how neglectful and inconsiderate she is as a doctor to not reach out after several hours.
