Dr. Mohsin R Khalique, MD

My 9 year old son started to see Dr. Khalique for his ADHD/ODD condition from a referral from our pediatrician. We had about 5 visits and been checking the impact of the medication he was taking. His approach seemed to be kid-friendly but the whole atmosphere seemed a bit like a factory with his clients coming in and out of his office while we were in waiting area with appointments typically running behind schedule. Our time with him typically lasted 15 to 30 minutes. I asked him a few times during our appointment if it was ok to reach out if we had a question or 2 between appointments and he said we can call, but email would be faster to get a response. On our last visit, his recommendation was to go from 20 to 30mg of this particular drug, Vyvanse. After the 2nd day of the increased dosage, my son seemed to have passed out after a soccer practice and he woke up hyperventilating and saying he had pain in his chest and stomach. We could not get him to calm down and breathe… normally, so we immediately took him to the John Muir emergency room. They were excellent and after doing their testing and providing hydration, we were able to take him home in a few hours without any real diagnosis. This is pretty scary for any parent to go through. The next morning we emailed Dr. Khalique to notify him of this incident and to discuss the dosage and medication. 48 hours later, no response, so resent the email. 48 hours later, no response. We called the office and the receptionist said he has been busy but will call back shortly. 2 weeks later, still no response. WOW!!!! I am completely shocked at the no-response to something potentially very serious and dangerous. These are narcotics which we really did not want to have to give to our child and was relying completely on his knowledge. He did not have the professionalism to get back to emails or calls and discuss the recent increase in dosage and we are at a loss on why. We cancelled all future appointments and would highly recommend to stay away from this guy. In fact, you can make a case that this guy should be stripped of his license.

Dr Khalique is empathetic and has a medical plan of action which he revisits and alters depending on the efficacy of the plan.
