    As mentioned above in other reviews. Dr Fahmi and the nurses are very good, but the Office Manager…read moreis very rude unprofessional and disrespectful. Ended up hanging up on me when I called yesterday. Also, the office wants to charge you ahead even before billing to your insurance to see what you really need to pay for visits or services like EKG etc. Once they made me pay for an EKG and then my insurance paid them too. so, they Got paid twice for the service and never heard back from them. I had to double check and call them & they wanted me to go to the office in person in order to refund me my payment when they already had my CC information. Another issue, they don't send statements neither call if you have a balance pending. How are you supposed to know if you have a pending balance or where to send the payment payable to who? etc. I really tried to stay in the office because the DR. is good but to have a hard time every time you need something is not good at all.

    I have meant to write a review for Dr. Fahmi for some time and finally decided to do so today after…read moreseeing such poor ratings by others. I'm honestly surprised. Dr. Fahmi has been my physician for nearly 20 years and was also my mother's PCP until her untimely passing from Leukemia. She is compassionate, thorough, and a consummate professional. I am a licensed medical provider and have never felt uncomfortable, unheard, or in doubt about her care. I have known Lourdes, her medical assistant, equally as long as she is truly a gem of the practice. I'm seen right away and have rarely been in the waiting room with more than one other person, at most 2 or 3. Are there times when there may be a longer wait? I'm sure of it, but this happens in every facet of healthcare. Dr. Fahmi is an excellent choice if you are looking for a competent and caring medical provider.

    I have been a patient there for years, when the practice was run by 3 older men. The practice is…read morenow female oriented and I find them all personable, knowledgeable, and competent My only issue revolves around getting in touch with them. The message machine states the office is open until 4:30 but several times when I called shortly after 4 the office was "closed"

    I reached out to schedule a physical. I was promptly told that the next available appointment was…read moreMay, and when I pushed back I was told by the person taking my intake information that I would only be eligible for a virtual appointment because I recently recovered from Covid. I should also mention that I am a Registered Nurse, who works in a major Connecticut hospital, and I have been cleared by occupation health (a physician) to return to work as it is safe. I was given a next day virtual appointment. I explained that I would need an in-person appointment to conduct an actual physical (blood work, vitals, etc). I was then met with the most unprofessional experience I have ever experienced with a doctor (and I deal with many different doctors in my career daily). The manner and tone in which I was spoken to by this doctor was unprincipled and rude. I was refused care because of her own beliefs about Covid, and I was indirectly told that the office no longer wanted my business. This doctor went off about how she only received the first vaccine and that she has a wedding to attend. I will obviously no longer be a patient of this doctor, but wanted to share this information to help other people who are seeking out medical care in the future. She lacks compassion, empathy and clearly medical knowledge.

    I had my nose tip fixed I look great now Dr Mao and his staff are great my two sisters come here…read moretoo I'm getting my tear troughs done next I love the care I received

    Unfortunately I would never recommend Dr. Mao as a surgeon to perform blepharoplasty. If you are…read moreconsidering blepharoplasty you should see an oculoplastic surgeon/surgeon board certified in Ophthalmology. Dr. Mao's oversight cost me $40,000 in surgical repair fees ($15,000 if done through a less experienced surgeon) from THE BEST surgeon in the country that corrects these issues (lower lid retraction and entropion). The repair surgery involves a graft from the roof of my mouth being used on the back of my eyelid. It's not guaranteed it will even work because the damage to my eye is so extensive. I had been living in horrible discomfort as my lower eye lashes have been turned into my eye. Dr. Mao wasn't able to recommend a protective contact lens to ease the pain. Another surgeon I consulted with recommended it. It was a lifesaver. Immediately following my first surgery with Dr. Mao, I can see the lower lid of my left eye is pulled down. Sadly, nobody caught it at followup appointments until I brought it up. I was consistently told by Amanda that I looked good. Dr Mao performed a second surgery 3 wks post op to correct it, unfortunately only made it worse. One time I woke up and my eye was bleeding in the middle of the night. It was terrifying. After a 3rd surgery with no improvement, I decided to seek a specialist. PLEASE do not have anyone other than an experienced oculoplastic surgeon perform surgery on your eyes. And never have implants inserted into your tear troughs - no oculoplastic surgeon would recommend them. Initially I felt that Amanda was helpful and compassionate but in hindsight I believe she was gaslighting me. She kept telling me I looked great despite specialists telling me I needed grafts to fix the retraction. I never had access to Dr. Mao post op - only Amanda or Arissa. Everything went through Amanda. Dr. Mao's office has not offered any financial assistance towards the specialist repair surgery despite the damage done to my eye. I don't want anyone else to endure this extremely traumatic & costly experience. From my perspective it's important to choose a surgeon to perform the surgery that knows how to correct it should something go wrong.
