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.

Unfortunately, my families experience with Dr. Kling was disappointing. It quickly became clear…read morethat he lacked a strong understanding of prescriptions and proper medication management. We had to clarify multiple times about my families prescription, which left us feeling uneasy and not well cared for. In addition, their bedside manner was poor. Communication felt dismissive, with little effort to listen or explain things in a respectful way. As the patient, we expect clarity and empathy--neither of which was received by our visit. I hope Dr. Kling takes this as constructive feedback and invests in improving both their clinical knowledge and patient communication. Until then, I would recommend looking elsewhere for more attentive and competent care.

I have been sitting in the lobby for over an hour, with a full house. I mean, it's giving me time and energy to go on here and give you all a heads up. It's like they schedule 20 appts at the same time and who knows where on the list you'll be. The reasoning behind the wait was that some require more attention than others (pregnant women) so you would think, you'll have this system in place with sufficient time for each patient right? But no. If you like to waste time, this is the place for you. Just make sure to bring some headphones and entertainment device to keep you busy because there's no TV here.

I've been treated very well by him and during each appointment we have great conversations about my issues and how he plans on treating them. So far his treatments have been very successful!

Sometimes the wait at AVORS can be long, but it's not a deterrent for me. I'd rather have to wait sometimes and see an amazing doc, than to go to an office with no wait for sun-standard care. Highly recommended.

We were actually asked to stay in our car which (while surgery took place) was right outside nearby and convenient for us. They have plenty of parking outside which is always a plus. We were the first to arrive at 6:30 a.m. but I did notice a few other cars pull up afterwards. We had a great experience from when we arrived at 6:30 am until he was discharged around 10:30 am. Also, they do require that you have your covid vaccine and proof if you want to come in with the patient. I came in to fill out the rest of the paperwork and also when he was discharged. All in all a great experience and I love the small setting . Thank you Oasis.
