Louai Razzouk, MD

I HAD A PROCEDURE WITH THIS DOCTOR AND EVERYTHING WENT LIKE CLOCKWORK. HOWEVER, THE FOLLOWING DAY MY ARM WAS SWOLLEN AND MY VEINS WERE ENORMOUS, LOOKING LIKE VARICOSE VEINS FULL OF NODULES. I WAS IN PAIN FROM MY WRIST TO MY ARMPIT. DR RAZZOUK'S OFICE NEVER CALLED TO ASK HOW I WAS DOING. MY DENTIST CALLED EVERY TIME I HAD AN EXTRACTION. HOW COME THESE PEOPLE HAVE NO REGARD FOR HUMAN LIFE? I CALLED NYU AND A RESIDENT INSTRUCTED ME TO GO TO THE NEAREST ER SO I WENT TO COLUMBIA PRESBYTERIAN AT 168th AND FORT WASHINGTON. THEY GAVE ME A SONOGRAM OF MY RIGHT ARM AND FOUND 2 BLOOD CLOTS COMPLETELY BLOCKING BOTH MY ARTERY AND MY VEIN. AT COLUMBIA THEY WANTED TO GIVE ME SURGERY, BUT I WANTED TO STAY WITH NYU SO THEY PUT ME ON BLOOD THINNERS. I HAVE HEART SURGERY SOON AND I SHOULDN'T BE ON BLOOD THINNERS. I SPENT 3 DAYS WITHOUT FOOD IN NYU FOR THE PROCEDURE AND IN COLUMBIA ER. I DO NOT EAT HOSPITAL FOOD, PLUS I AM EXTREMELY ANXIOUS ABOUT HAVING MORE PROBLEMS THAN BEFORE. I WAS AWAKE AND I SAW A… RESIDENT PUTTING THE CATHETERS IN MY ARM, WHILE DR RAZZOUK WAS LOOKING AT THE SCREEN AND GUIDING. I KNOW NYU IS A UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL, BUT I DON'T WISH TO BE ANYONE'S GUINEA PIG WHEN I AM IN A LIFE OR DEATH SITUATION. WHEN I CALLED THE OFFICE TO REPORT WHAT HAPPENED, A VERY ANGRY YOUNG WOMAN TOLD ME COLDLY THAT THERE'S SOMETHING WRONG WITH MY BODY AND NO ONE ELSE HAS THIS KIND OF PROBLEMS. WELL, YES, I AM VERY THIN AND SMALL. THEY SHOULD CONSIDER ME THE SIZE OF A 10 YO CHILD. I HAVE NEVER HAD ANY BLOOD RESULTS ( WHICH I DO RELIGIOUSLY EVERY 3 MONTHS FOR A LIFETIME) SHOWING I HAVE A CLOTTING DISORDER. THEY DO NOT TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEIR ERRORS, BUT BLAME MY LITTLE BODY FOR THE BLOOD CLOTS. I WISH I HAD NEVER DONE THIS EXAM. IT IS UNNECESSARY AND DOESN'T REALLY SHOW MUCH. IT SHOWS I DO NOT HAVE MUCH PLAQUE OR CALCIFICATION INSIDE MY ARTERIES, BUT I MAY HAVE ON THE OUTSIDE. IN THE CT SCAN IT DIDN'T APPEAR TO BE A LOT . I WAS UNABLE TO TAKE CARE OF MYSELF WITH 1 ARM. I AM 5 DAYS POST PROCEDURE AND I JUST DEVELOPED A RED SPOT AROUND THE WRIST THAT IS GETTING LARGER. I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO. GO TO THE ER AGAIN? OR DIE IN MY BED? THEY KEEP BANKERS' HOURS. BUT PATIENTS CAN DIE AT ANY TIME. NO ONE ANSWERS THE PHONE

He took care of my mother- great bedside manners & knowledgeable.

It’s has been two months since Dr. Losiau Razzouk ,MD,MPH Interventional Cardiology, did my surgery. Dr. Razzouk , MD,MPH is very attentive, pleasant to talk to and very knowledgeable doctor. He explained me my medical problems in the lay language, so everything was very clear to me and made sense. I have went through tons of specialist, all of which were useless until Dr. Razzouk examines my heard and immediately booked me for a surgery, which ended my years of pain and suffering and returned my life back to normal! Dr. Razzouk ,MD,MPH demonstrated high professionalism! I highly recommend Dr. Razzouk ,MD,MPH to anybody who is looking for a good cardiologist.
