So, I have some pain, tingling and numbness that goes from my hands all the way to my shoulder. I called everywhere to get an appointment to see a neurologist, everywhere I called was booked for months ahead, except this one, at first it was exciting, but after couple visits I learned why this places have opening appointments unlike the rest! Day 1 I went there, a very nice nurse to me in ask me all kind of questions, which is very normal, then she told me the Dr. will be with you shortly. After few minutes he came in, and you can tell he is just in hurry to move on to the next patient. He asked me what is wrong I told him everything, he said he wasn't sure exactly and but he was sure it was not carpal tunnel, because the pain shouldn't pass my elbows! So he said I should get an MRI done, once I get the MRI done, I should come back so he can read my results and give me a nerve test to find out more. While he was ready to leave I asked him, do you think it might have to do anything with my shoulders nerves since I had surgery there, his response and I am not joking " I am not orthopedic you should ask that question to an orthopedic" I was shocked with his answer and lack of professionalism! As I had no choice at this point I went got my MRI done almost 2 weeks before my follow up, and I made sure the next day the MRI office sent the results to him! So he had my results for almost 2 weeks! So, I went to my follow up, the same nice nurse came and took me in and explained to me the nerve test, and she said he'll be with you in few minutes. 45 minutes later I am still room waiting for him, he finally shows up, and shock the living crap out me for 20 minutes with nerve test, then he came to the conclusion that is carpal tunnel, I asked how is that possible? Last time you said that can't be because of the pain going all the way to my shoulder, then, I asked have you looked my MRI results, his response no I can't because this computer is only for testing, then I said I am not asking you to look at it now, have you looked at it before meeting me you had it for almost 2 weeks? Obviously, he did not! Somehow I knew this was going to happened, and I was prepared so I had print out of my result with me so I handed it to him, and he looked at them and he goes like: ohh you might have some nerves issue on your shoulder by neck, and he handed back to me and he goes like we can't talk more about this in your next follow up!! I looked at him, I was like hold on, at first you diagnosed me with carpal tunnel, before examining my MRI that your order me to get and I paid $100 out of pocket, then after second of glimpse into the result I gave you, you said I might have an issue with my neck, so I was like which one is it? Then he says do you have your MRI images, I was like no but you do, for almost two weeks and I shouldn't even be giving you my print out results. He asked me to follow him to front desk to schedule for another follow up, I told the front desk no thank you, this Dr. Samad Oraee has not freaking clue what he is taking about and what he is doing. And I said will be going to somewhere else even if I have to wait longer. The same day I email the front desk to send my results of his so called " carpal tunnel" diagnosis, 3 weeks later haven't heard from them. And this why ladies and gentleman this place has open appointments!
How Dr. Samad Oraee became a Dr.? Well that is mystery!!! read more
