Dr. Mohammad Arshad Abid, MD

If you care about your hearts health, be careful. I read the reviews before going but thought maybe something had changed. My fault. I lasted a 1.5 weeks with Dr Abid. Please note, I have a loop and record so he gets paid by the brand to monitor me. After my Heart Attack, 3 stents and implant I was referred to him by my GP. I called, emailed then faxed his office to fill my heart meds. I would email my INR’s (heart - blood test) to his office. Then just yesterday was told they haven’t recv’d any emails. When were they going to tell me? No response, I even drove to Indio and hand delivered the hospital papers with meds on it. Nope, nothing. Went 2 days without meds and today went to my GP to fill. Found a new cardiologist today. Me and my loop will take our biz elsewhere. Is that even ethical for a cardiologist to ignore a patients heart meds? Beware.

Unbelievably Unprofessional! I have never experienced such unprofessionally in a doctors office in all my life. I needed a pre-op clearance and was told to send the doctor my records and he would talk with me over the phone. I let the office know I only had about 10 days to get my clearance. They said no problem. I sent him all of my records. After asking me a lot of questions he said he wanted me to come in for more tests. I specifically told him the operation was within 10 days. so I needed to expedite the process. He said he could do that. I came in for two more expensive tests. When I came out to have him read them the front desk told me he had left for the day. This was 11:00 in the morning. They said he would be back the next morning at 9:00 to read them. The next morning his office called and said he had decided not to come in that day. As a result I had to change the date of my surgery. I know this doctor is 69 years old but he needs to retire or start acting like a… professional.

FRONT DESK GIRL IS RUDE, AND ON HER PHONE WATCHING A SHOW OR TALKING ON HER PHONE. BEEN GOING HERE FOR YEARS AND EVER SINCE LAST YEAR MY VISITS HAVE BEEN HORRIBLE BECAUSE OF HER. FEEL LIKE IM BEING VICTIMIZED BY HER. AND THE DOCTOR DOESN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT AND DOESN'T EVEN SPEND ENOUGH TIME WITH YOU IN THE ROOM FOR YOU TO EVEN SPEAK!!

I will start off by saying that this "doctor" almost cost me my life! I went to him for a concern of constant severe chest pains. I had a total of two visits with Dr. Abid. I took a stress test & MRIs to check all arteries for any blockage. The test came back saying there was nothing wrong & he told me it was just stress. That literally was all he said before leaving the room never explaining nothing more. The bill came out to just about $4000 & unfortunately I had got laid off & my insurance was cancelled while this was occurring so I was left with a $700 bill. The chest pains continued so I decided to go to my local clinic & get checked out. And for $30 they took a simple blood test that showed my cholesterol was over 1000! And I could have a heart attack at any moment. Thanks to my local clinic & the simple blood test they took which I think Dr. Abid should have done in the beggining before anything, I now know the problem with my heart & health that he could not figure out or… seem to care about. I now have peace of mind knowing what is wrong & knowing how to take care of it & myself better.
