I'm keeping my original review for continuity. This update is to show, using my own documentation,…read morehow biased and prejudicial language in medical notes can permanently distort a patient's credibility and access to care. I count myself lucky I met my new GI doctor, although treatment is complicated now because of my worsening injuries. Over the past four years I've had time to study what happened, review my records, and talk with professionals who helped me understand how the bias in my care took shape. The pain I was in left me cognitively impaired for a long time, which made it hard to see how dismissive the treatment really was while it was happening. Because of the wording used in my chart -- phrases like "patient is convinced" and "very likely psychosomatic" -- it's very likely the kind of language that led other doctors to dismiss my concerns and assume the problem was psychological. My injuries worsened, the connective tissue in my abdomen continued to tear, and I lost muscle support through my torso. A genetic condition was also upregulated and my skin permanently traumatized. That language still follows me through my medical record and continues to influence how I'm treated. Nearly four years later, I'm still trying to recover from my injury and the physical and psychological damage caused by dismissive, biased documentation and the prejudice that began in this office. I'm including Dr. Nowain's original notes, and other records that corroborate both the intense pain I was really in, the celiac artery compression and soft tissue damage, and the continual gaslighting using prejudicial language to dismiss my accounts and leave me in pain and suffering. These are all before the injury worsened. I can still hear Dr. Nowain's voice from that day in his office -- angry, certain: "You're having a panic attack!" When I said I wasn't, he replied, "That sounds just like something someone having a panic attack would say." It still plays in my head like I heard it yesterday. So, I guess there's only one thing left to say. Best of luck in all your health journeys, and remember: "One foot in front of the other, bravely forward. Always."

The office answers questions via email very promptly and are on top of everything. The worst part of a colonoscopy is the prep and even that is made easier with Dr. Makhani's guidance and care.

I waited a month to get an appointment to see Dr. Naim. I had/have been dealing with serious GI…read moreissues for the last 6 months which I was looking forward to talking to the doctor about. This doctor saw me for a grand total of ~maybe~ 7 minutes. And this was as a first time patient, too! He didn't let me get a single sentence out, cut me off every time I spoke, and told me that what had been happening for the last couple months didn't matter -- only what my symptoms are "today." He didn't want to hear about any of the details that lead up to me being there, which would've took 5 minutes for me to explain to him. He just wanted to get to the next patient in the room, and didn't care at all about me. All he did was order me a colonoscopy/endoscopy because I told him about my family history of CRC, but I was so anxious and disappointed after this appointment that I canceled it and the follow-up afterards. Instead, I found a great new GI in Newport Beach, CA, who had a 30-40 minute consultation with me as a first-time patient, listened to my issues, explained things really nicely to me, and gave me a full plan/regimen out the door. He also ordered me the same colonoscopy/endoscopy, which I scheduled and will be doing soon. I left this new doctor's office feeling much more relieved and prepared about what to do next, and listened to/seen. If I were you, I would think twice about wasting your time for an appointment to see Dr. Naim. I was not happy with him or his practice at all, and would not recommend him to anyone I know.

He said it is not a good idea but if we want to do it he was happy to help us. He said that because I told him my dad had a colonoscopy like 4 months ago and it didn't show anything bad plus my dad doesn't have any stomach pain. We decided not to do it but if my dad have any pain will come back. I really like the Dr Tim, he was nice, and took his time to explained everything I asked him, so I recommend him. Everything was smooth, easy to make appointment, everyone in the office was nice and respectful with us and we didn't have to wait too much. So thank you everyone A++
