I recently went in for my FREE physical per my insurance co. Blue cross Blue shield... I got billed for an office visit. Last year when this happened i asked why I was billed, was told because i asked the doctor a question so, this year i asked no questions....still got billed for an office visit. the explanation was that i have additional diagnosis,isn't this something as the patient I should have been notified of? Seems a little deceitful. Won't be going back! I will be contacting Blue cross Blue shield to see if this is a common pracitice..... if I had been told there additional charges for additional items. i would have been fine paying the bill. seems by not notifying patients of this pratice they are just trying to pad the bill!!!

I went in for a cat allergy, and left with a full treatment for the numerous allergies I hadn't realized I could be without, and skin treatments for my acne. However...the organization of the office leaves a lot to be desired. Three times have I had scheduling issues. Once I scheduled for testing at the front desk, only to show up and be told it was too close to my previous testing. The front desk should have known this. Then I came back again, was told I had an appointment with Dr. Ghani but actually it was with the NP...worked but was still a bit off. Then I schedule a 10:00am follow up, arrive at 9:55, get shown to a room at 10:50, and by 11:20 have to walk out to get to class. An hour and a half wait wasn't acceptable.

I would give this place zero stars if it were possible. This office is run down and dirty. Dr Ghani…read moreclearly is more concerned about profit and less concerned about quality patient care. Allergies and asthma are made worse just by sitting anywhere in this office simply due to the amount of visible dust. I can only imagine what is not visible. Judging by the water stains on the ceiling tiles and the age of the building, I am certain there is mold as well. My most recent visit, I was not taken back to an examination room until 15 minutes after my scheduled appointment time of 4:45 PM (I showed up 24 minutes early too because I respect other people's time). The nurse then took some vitals. She went to take my blood pressure but forgot her stethoscope so I had to wait for her to get that tool. I was then told to wait until she came to take me to a 2nd examination room. She finally came to get me after waiting about 20 minutes. The nurse actually had the nerve to ask me if I was ready. News flash, I was ready well before my appointment. Please use your brain before opening your mouth. So far, I had received about 7 minutes of care which was nothing more than height, weight, BP, ear inspection and a few questions. I waited in the 2nd examination room for about 10 minutes before I walked out of the office around 5:40 PM without receiving any time with Dr Ghani. I don't expect much from a doctor when it comes to an appointment. Take me to the exam room at the scheduled time and minimize any waiting once back for examination. I was there for almost 1 hr and Dr Ghani could not see me. Manage your time better, Dr Ghani. Schedule your appointments in increments that actually reflect your true cycle time of patient service. The faster you get patients in and out, the happier your patients will be and you will be able to see more patients as a result. This will increase your revenue without having to add staff. And for pete's sake, stop moving patients around to multiple exam rooms. This makes no sense. If certain rooms are not adequate, get the proper tools/supplies needed to bring these rooms up to par. Not many people get free consulting advice. I suggest you take advantage of my suggestions and find ways to eliminate waste from your operation.

I am selecting a rating of one because I think I have to select a rating here. However, if I could…read moregive no rating, I would. I just wanted to share that I'm very disappointed with the service and attention that I have received, or lack there of, from this provider and clinic. This provider came highly recommended to me and in searching for a new care provider and being new to the area, I had scheduled an appointment with her a month ago. Unfortunately, I got Covid and had to cancel that appointment. I was able to reschedule that appointment for today, but as I am unfamiliar with the office I had to call the office a few times and ask where I was going, and although I kept in communication with the office and made it within the 15 minute grace period, Dr Nazneen Ahmed conveyed through her secretary that she cannot see me because she is so busy. It is appalling to see and hear that as a new patient this is how you would be treated at her clinic and by her team. Apparently, to Dr. Nazneen Ahmed, it does not matter if you're trying to establish care and find a provider as she clearly conducts her business without any compassion, grace, or integrity despite following her rules. And while I hope that the people who are receiving care from her are having their needs met, this was a very poor first impression and I will be seeking to establish care elsewhere. Because if somebody takes the time to show you who they are, you should listen and pay attention. I truly cannot stress how disappointing and upsetting this experience was.
