Dr. Ishrat Husain, MD

I was diagnosed with appendicitis by nurses and techs, Dr. Hussain recommended many tests to confirm the diagnoses, each time stating that the test was inconclusive and that more tests needed to be done. All nurses and techs agreed that it was appendicitis. After many expensive and unnecessary tests (including a very painful barium enema), Dr. Hussain stated that he was going to perform "exploratory surgery" because he was not convinced that it was appendicitis. I did not consent to expensive exploratory surgery, and found another doctor who immediately removed my appendix. I believe that Dr. Hussain performed four expensive and unnecessary procedures to get as much money as possible, while I lay in bed in agonizing pain from an infected appendix.

Dr Husain first tested me overnight with antibiotics. When that did not bring relief, he described to me the ostomy surgery, the. Risks based on my medical history, the desired results and recovery times. I was well informed. The surgeries were a success without any complications.
