Dr. Joorabchi is the WORST doctor I have ever met in my life.
I visited him about five times due to nasal problems and infections. He kept prescribing me different antibiotics and ordered tests that were completely unnecessary. It was clear he was more interested in running my insurance and billing each visit than actually helping me.
On the fourth visit, when I was still not feeling better, he gave me a very strong two-week course of antibiotics. It completely wrecked my stomach. When I came back and told him, he said, "That's normal," and prescribed another two weeks of antibiotics. In total, he put me on antibiotics for a whole month. That's just insane. It was awful.
Then he performed a sinus cleaning procedure, which cost me $645 out of pocket, not including what he billed my insurance. and my insurance paid additional amount for cleaning sinuses.He was clearly more interested in billing my insurance than help me as a patient After the surgery, my nose was still a mess. I woke up from anesthesia and shortly after started having inflammation again. What did he do? Prescribed more antibiotics--now I was on them for six weeks straight!
After that, huge nasal polyps grew in my nose due to the inflammation. I never had polyps before in my life. Then he said he would treat them with steroids and kept me on both antibiotics and steroids for another couple of months. It was unbearable. I couldn't breathe or sleep, I was off balance and dizzy, and my health got worse. He completely ruined me.
I absolutely do not recommend kim. Sure, he smiles a lot--that's the only thing he's good at. He walks in with a big smile and says, "Hello, how are you?"--but he has no idea what's going on with my nose.He keeps guessing: "Let's try this antibiotic. Oh, it doesn't work? Let's try another one." I even told him, "Doctor, you're going to destroy my stomach!" and he replied, "It's not a big deal."
After all this, I demanded a refund of the $645 for the sinus cleaning. He agreed and actually returned the money to my bank account. But then--three months later--he sent me to collections for that same $615$,acting like I owed him the money he had already refunded! It was done in such a sneaky, calculated way.
This doctor always seems to be behind schedule. He walks into the room without even remembering your case. I had to remind him every time to read my chart. He would say something different about my diagnosis every time, and never established a real diagnosis at all.
I ended up going to another clinic where they had to re-do the surgery--and it cost me even more money and more suffering. Not only did I have to fix the original issue, but I also had to fix the damage he caused, including treating the polyps that he caused to grow.On top of all that, I just checked my insurance records and saw that he billed me an additional $332--for what, I have no idea. Nothing was done during that visit.
Then there's another charge: $871 for another visit, again with no explanation and no procedures performed. I had insurance coverage for all of these visits, and yet he keeps billing random, inflated amounts.
It's becoming clear to me that this doctor just makes up charges however he wants.
He is a scam doctor--BE AWARE! He only cares about your money, not about your health or well-being.
So, in the end, I paid double, went through two rounds of anesthesia, and now I'm dealing with debt collection because of him. I'm taking legal action and plan to go to court.
Avoid this doctor at all costs. read more
