If I could, I would give this provider a negative -10 rating. I have seen Dr. Saidha approximately…read morefive times. My initial visits were for sinus testing; however, during follow-up appointments, my test results were never reviewed or explained. At my most recent visit, Dr. Saidha did not appear to recognize me or be familiar with my medical history. She had only a single sheet of paper and seemed confused about my prior visits. When I requested to go over of my last three test results, she reacted as if the request was unreasonable. She also acted like it had been a year since my last visit, when in fact I had seen her less than 2 week earlier. Additionally, she was rude and became defensive when I asked questions about the next steps in my care. This lack of familiarity with my case and unwillingness to communicate clearly made me very uncomfortable. It is difficult to trust a physician with surgical care or any type of care when they do not seem aware of the patient in front of them. Additionally, she often seemed rushed during appointments and appeared to make assumptions about the next steps rather than thoroughly explaining the treatment plan.

I received a 30 minute in office balloon sinuplasty procedure, resulting in a bill for $25,000. Based on all the information I was able to gather on the standard cost of such a procedure, my bill should have been no more that $7,500 before insurance. To compound matters, I felt worse after the procedure than I had prior to it. I feel that I was pushed into an unnecessary procedure for the sole profit of this establishment. As a result, I will not be returning to Specialty Care.
