! BEWARE! SUB-PAR, NEGLIGENT (LIFE-ENDANGERINGLY), INCOMPETENT, TOXIC MASCULINITY, GASLIGHTING, DOCTOR,
*NOT A SAFE SPACE*particularly for survivors of sexual abuse. They weaponize information you share, employ it as a terror-tool to dismiss/denigrate, as a tool to deny medical referrals, as A tool to other-ize/lessen your humanity. They stigmatize, DENYING ACCESS TO MEDICAL CARE YOU NEED AND ARE ENTITLED TO! TRUST is the most important currency in healthcare. There can be NO TRUST found within a medical institution that uses women's life experiences against them! It's 2024.We have a fierce, B/blasian woman running for presidency. Her words echo that of so many women failing to get adequate healthcare in this country; "No woman should be told she can't make decisions about her own body. When women's rights are under attack, we fight back." Kamala Harris.
We saw Sohan over the course of a few months (hereinafter referred to as "Sohan," he doesn't deserve the honorific of "Doctor,"), had envisaged establishing a long-term PCP relationship, re: multiple, complicated conditions that have been worsening. Instead, we experienced medical negligence (endangering absence of healthcare), medical gaslighting, egregious inexperience, and toxic masculinity.
1. SOHAN is medically incompetent, is as far from a problem solver as is possible. If you have a complex array of medical issues including secondary and tertiary diagnoses, are in the process of trying to locate the primary cause, HE IS NOT the PHYSICIAN to turn to. Bottomline: Can't handle anything other than an in-and-out, cut-and-dry diagnose of a malady with clearcut diagnostic parameters (think an ear-ache or anything easily discernible with visual clues). If you have a rare disorder, if you have multiple medical comorbidities; HIS INEXPERIENCE WILL ENDANGER you.
2. SOHAN mansplains, body-shames, is dismissive, demeaning, lacks ability to make correlations btw manifestations of co-existing symptoms and potential diagnostic tests needed to either rule out or to confirm a diagnosis. Bottomline: If you want a doctor that listens to you, doesn't talk over you, values your input as equal, advises (not discourages, forbids or weaponizes) self-advocacy and medical research, LOOK ELSEWHERE! Insecurity results in him being unable to have a discussion with someone more intelligent (such as my father). He can't handle anyone calling him on endangering-erroneous choices. Our family has multiple surgeons and physicians and none of them could believe his unethical conduct. FIRST DO NO HARM!
3. SOHAN LIES, his receptionists LIE ON HIS BEHALF, repeatedly LIED about not being in the office, discovered he was in office after having his receptionists indemnify themselves in his blatant dishonesty by stating he was only in on Friday's. Bottomline: IF you want honesty, humility in healthcare, LOOK ELSEWHERE!
4. SOHAN is DISRESPECTFUL to elders; refused to speak Hindi with my elderly father, spoke down to my father (a far more globally accomplished and compassionate feminist-man), childishly-hung-up the phone on my father-ji, disregarded what my father had to say, held no space for compassionate, respectful dialogue! SHAME! AAPAKO SHARM AANEE CHAAHIE! Bottomline: If respect, dignity-bestowed, kindness, ability to engage in compassionate, courteous conversation is important to you, if respect for wisdoms elders hold is important to you, hell, if being a decent human being is important to you; LOOK ELSEWHERE!
5. Express emotions other than superficialities, you'll be accused of character-assassinating mental health maladies/given the archaic and sexist "crazy woman ranting," identity-trope. Bottomline: NOT A SAFE SPACE!
Patronizing, pitiful, 'patriarchal-pollution' obfuscating healthcare access. Our only mistake was trusting Sohan, who managed to get his review-base up during the pandemic, primarily ZOCDOC telehealth appointments (SEE HIS HORRID EARLY YELP REVIEWS). ENDANGERING TO WOMEN/FAMILES! DON'T RISK YOUR PHYSICAL NOR MENTAL HEALTH! LOOK ELSEWHERE! NOT A SAFE SPACE. read more
