The ER, like most city ER's, was jammed. with all rooms and hallways filled with patients. The wait time was longer than it should have been for my condition unfortunately. The CT scan revealed a blocked small intestine. I was given anti-nausea and morphine. I stayed in the ER overnight and surgery was performed the next day by Dr. Kevin Pei with minimally invasive surgery. Dr. Pei discovered that I had an intussusception intestine. He removed 43cm of my small intestine and reattached it with staples. I was then moved upstairs to a private room in the Kimmel building. The care by the surgical team and nursing staff throughout my six-day stay was outstanding along with their state-of-the-art technology. The practice is recognized as one of the best in the country and I certainly believe this to be true.

I went to see Dr. Shehebar on October 3rd 2025, my sigmoid/colon is tethered to other organs & it…read morecreates a level 10 pain! due to gas back up & constipation due to my sigmoid being tethered. This man talked over me non stop! called my debilitating pain "perceived pain". He made very light of my situation while I'm still in writhing pain. Whilw speaking during my visit, he actively tried to negate everything I was saying. I understand not wanting to do surgery because it creates more scar tissue but to call my pain "perceived" was an egregious wrong on his part. He told me there is NOTHING he can do for me. He came into the house cam room instantly annoyed, and then proceeded to ask me questions when the answers were right in front of his face on the computer in my chart. I was recommended by a gynecological surgeon because what they saw in my MRI was concerning to them. this doctor could care less, especially when it comes to women. I waited two months to see this doctor just to be disrespected talked down & absolutely unequivocally not heard. he was so rude even when he did an anal exam, causing me severe pain. I feeling emotionally and physically violated. but you know I'm just a woman so we must all be crazy right? this is one of the main reasons why I only like to go to female doctors. This man because I refuse to call him a doctor now treated me like absolute shit. I went in there incredibly informed of my own health issues and it annoyed him to his core. he kept telling me he's the doctor and I was the patient and I kept telling him, but I'm the one in pain and I'm trying to tell you how my body feels and he just continued to cut me off. this man looked me dead in the eye, and said there's nothing I can do for you. unless you have a bowel blockage and are about to die I can't do nothing. I left that defeated, disgusted, and sexually assaulted. he didn't even give me a warning when he was going to try and insert a scope, let alone his finger. from the moment he came in the room until the moment he left he was rude, crude & dismissive. every question he asked I right there in my notes. Did you look at the MRI scans and the images and he would reply yes but then continue to ask me questions that he get the answers from through those MRI images. he also told me I'm not sure why you're here. Meanwhile, another NYU doctor recommended him to me and that's in my clinical notes as a recommendation, but he refused to read that then lied to me and said that he did read all my notes. I will never understand how a doctor like this with this kind of attitude can serve anyone. i'm going to find out how I can make a complaint with the medical board and with NYU because here I am still in writhing pain with no answers and no help other than a cream. my husband and I are gonna go to far links to do what we need to do because this man sent me home with the idea that my pain was perceived and not real. I don't know how to explain the frustration I feel, but no one should ever be disregarded by a doctor. nor should their severe pain be disregarded. This man has no idea what it's like to have a hysterectomy and then have adhesions afterwards. He has no idea how bad constipation and gas can hurt. If he does, he just doesn't care. He was trying to rush through my appointment when I was trying to be thorough and the more thorough I was the more annoyed he became. The doctor doesn't want an informed patient he wants to just be a puppeteer. I deal with chronic illness so I always advocate for myself. I was very kind soft-spoken and respectful. Even when he told me my pain was perceived. He doesn't see me vomiting from the pain in my home every other day so how dare he just call my pain a perception and not a reality. My CT scan images and my MRI images show exactly what's wrong and that there is a kink in my colon. This man tried telling me the colon doesn't feel pain. That's when I said you're not understanding. It's gas and it's constipation because my colon is being squeezed. He looked at me dead in the face and rolled his eyes at me. Since it's my medical visit and my medical records, I voice recorded the entire visit and you can hear how disgustingly rude and dismissive he was being. I don't recommend this doctor, especially if you're female. I am so disappointed in the NYU institution for having such a horrible human being. Serve the Brooklyn community. now to file a complaint with the medical board and with NYU as a whole. if you ever do decide to see this doctor, I beg you to proceed with caution. I beg you to do your research because everything he told me it was as if he was reading someone else's chart. This man refused to look at my CT scan images and my MRI images, but then lie to me and said he did look at them. be careful guys not every doctor gives a crap about us.

Patients only in the waiting area once you've checked in with the desk. Masks provided and is required upon entry. I felt really comfortable with their social distancing measures and the waiting area was very orderly and clean. Based on a friend's referral, I was here to meet with Dr. Mark Dobriner for my colon health check. He was highly recommended and has 20+ years experience in the Colon and Rectal care. He's also the Head Surgeon in this particular expertise. He was approachable and displayed empathy for my reason in having a consult. Everything was explained thoroughly in regards to the plan for my colonoscopy. There were many guidelines that he went over, along with an appointed nurse that provided me with a full informational packet regarding the pre-procedure prep I needed to follow. COVID PCR testing is still required three days before the procedure as well as a Rapid Test the day before. Keep that in mind when booking your appointment. The whole process of booking my first consult to the quick scheduling of my procedure, I felt that they wasted no time and that was very appreciated on my part. During the Pandemic, I noticed a big lag in appointment scheduling and response time in general for non emergencies so the ease ProHealth provided here gave me a sense of instant relief. Dr. Dobriner, along with my anesthesiologist Dr. Schreiber and my positive experience with Nurse Jenelle the day of, put me at ease for my first time procedure. I was calm going in, felt all my questions were answered and while I was worried about the outcome, the whole process was not stressful at all. I commend them on their service. And yes, it's true what they say, the Prep is worse than the procedure. Colon Health screening is important! Don't put it off people!

Mind you, this is after my insurance covered the bill (totalling $1,836.00 each) for a 20-minute office visit each, where they only checked me: by an anoscopy. No other procedure was done.

Of course ,now the ping pong game starts with the Dr blaming insurance and insurance blaming the MD. A payment plan is offered.
