Facility: Antelope Valley Hospital Date of Incident: October…read more2-3, 2025 Procedure Scheduled: Surgical treatment for meralgia paresthetica Assigned Surgeons: Primary: Dr. Farrukh Backup/Secondary: Dr. Rafael Lemus Summary of Events On October 2, 2025, I was scheduled for a surgical procedure requiring the presence of both the primary surgeon, Dr. Farrukh, and the secondary surgeon, Dr. Rafael Lemus, as well as the anesthesiologist. According to hospital protocol and the arrangement agreed upon by the surgical team, no part of the procedure was to begin unless all required personnel were present. Despite this requirement, the hospital proceeded with full preoperative preparation. I completed blood work, received IV fluids and antibiotics, was transported to the operating room, shaved, marked at the surgical site, and sedated. At that point, I was fully unconscious and unable to provide consent or make decisions. While I was under sedation, Dr. Lemus left the hospital without notification or justification. Dr Farrukh self admitting in a frustrated condition spoke to Me about this in passing. When contacted, he refused to return, leaving the required surgical team incomplete. As a result, the surgery was not performed. Upon awakening, I was given inconsistent and limited information. My subsequent requests for clarification and for copies of my medical records were met with resistance, prompting concerns about transparency and potential record concealment. I documented my interactions with staff to preserve evidence. On October 3, 2025, Dr. Farrukh called to confirm the following: Dr. Lemus left the hospital without notification or justification. When contacted, he refused to return, leaving the required surgical team incomplete. As a result, the surgery was not performed. Upon awakening, I was given inconsistent and limited information. My subsequent requests for clarification and for copies of my medical records were met with resistance, prompting concerns about transparency and potential record concealment. I documented my interactions with staff to preserve evidence. On October 3, 2025, Dr. Farrukh called to confirm the following: Dr. Lemus left the hospital prior to the surgery. He refused to return when contacted by staff. The hospital's director and scheduling manager were terminated as a result of the incident according to Dr Farrukh's statements. Legal Concerns Identified Based on these facts, the following issues appear to be present: Breach of contract/procedural agreement among the surgical team Patient abandonment by the secondary surgeon Patient battery, as sedation and invasive preoperative steps were performed without the full surgical team present Gross negligence and professional malpractice Institutional liability for failure to follow required surgical protocols Potential punitive damages, due to actions taken while I was unconscious and unable to protect my own interests Current Status The surgery was not completed, leaving the underlying medical condition untreated. I must now obtain a new surgeon. I am seeking legal representation to pursue appropriate claims.

Disappointing experience. Unprofessional Staff. Our appointment with Dr. Parsa was scheduled for…read more9:00 AM, but the patient--77 years old and dealing with numerous health issues--was not called in until the caregiver approached the staff about the delay an hour later. After waiting an additional 15 minutes, a staff member informed us that the doctor was running behind and that we would need to continue waiting for an unknown amount of time. We ultimately left without being seen. This level of communication and time management is unacceptable. Patients should not have to follow up just to receive basic updates. It seems you may need to set aside an entire day just to be seen by this doctor.

He really takes the time to explain things. He can tell he really knows what he is talking about and I trusted him immediately.

All the people were very friendly, thorough and they had the best warm blankets I've ever had at a medical office.
