Horrific experience unless you prefer to be treated like guinea pig and without care or proper knowledge. Specifically, our toddler son got injured and we got an x-ray of his foot done prior to our visit. Dr. Tabari looked at the x-ray but was unable to identify that toe was broken so determined that he needed to take an x-ray of the OTHER foot to see if our son was just "born this way"... Upon seeing that of course the other foot did not have a broken toe, the Dr. recommended that we use ice and have our son wear a tennis shoe at home for a month -- sounds pretty good, thankfully we sought a second opinion.
We were extremely fortunate to get an appointment at HSS where the great doctors there immediately diagnosed the broken toe by it's technical name and began the path to recovery that unfortunately included surgery. In addition, they did not need to expose our son to a second x-ray to confirm that a broken toe was, in fact, a broken toe - they just knew how to read x-rays and understand how feet work.
I am sure the Dr. is good for some things, but would not use him for any serious issues requiring potential surgery or broken feet.
In addition, this is the only doctor's practice I have ever been to that charged my credit card for a deductible a month later without the courtesy of a phone call or sending an invoice ahead of time... we all understand how deductibles work but this was very unprofessional. And I am sure the charge for the extra, unnecessary radiation is a part of this charge.
Biggest lesson - get a second opinion. read more
