MOST NEGLIGENT AND NON-CARING DOCTOR!
My 7 year old daughter saw Dr. Babu-Kahn for treatment of Mulluscum Contagiosum on July 25th of this year. Dr. Babu-Kahn put liquid nitrogen on the Mulluscum without doing a complete check to make sure she treated all the infected spots. She sent us home with oral instructions to use this particular topical medicine on the spots and then to cover them each with a bandaid. There was no specific communication on how much of the medicine to put on or what type of bandaids to use. We got home and discovered the doctor did not even treat all the spots. We had to go back the following Monday to get all the spots treated. The doctor re-treated the original spots with the liquid nitrogen (because it looked like there was not improvement on those pre treated spots) and then treated the new spots with the liquid nitrogen. We were given the same instructions with the topical medicine (only oral instructions, nothing formally written down). By August 9th, my daughter was in a great deal of pain, had a terrible itch, and had a huge rash all over her body. I contacted Dr. Babu-Kahn and was told to put Polysporin on the rash. When I followed Dr. Babu Kahn's instructions, the Polysporin created more pain so we washed it off. I informed Dr. Babu-Kahn of her condition and that we were going to Urgent Care. Dr. Babu-Khan was convinced there was no infection but agreed with our decision to go to Urgent Care. The Urgent Care doctor did a biopsy of one of the skin areas and put my daughter on Keflax in case it was an infection. He diagnosed her with Contact Dermatitis and said this issue should never have occurred from treatment of such a simple medical issue (Mulluscum). Two days later Urgent Care called to let me know MY DAUGHTER DID INDEED HAVE A STAPH INFECTION! The Staph Infection and the Contact Dermatitis (and the further spreading of the Molluscum) came about from Dr. Babu-Kahn's treatment (or in fact, mistreatment) of the Mulluscum. IT IS ALMOST OCTOBER, AND WE ARE STILL DEALING WITH GETTING RID OF THE MOLLUSCUM BECAUSE OF THIS WOMEN'S INCOMPETENCE AND MEDICAL NEGLIGENCE!!
We have seen 8 different doctors to treat this situation (6 in Los Angeles and 2 in Orange County). My daughter had to take Trimulosin steroid topical medicine to get rid of the Contact Dermatitis plus Keflax to get rid of the Staph Infection- two super intense meds for a mere 7 year old's body to handle. And to be clear, when I told Dr. Babu-Kahn how bad things were after my daughter was diagnosed with a Staph Infection and Contact Dermatitis... and that Urgent Care had asked my daughter to have a follow up with her as part of the discharge plan- Dr. Babu-Kahn told me she would be at a conference that week and could not see my daughter (even though the conference was local and even though her staff had told me that same morning that my daughter was a top priority and that Dr Babu-Kahn would see her). Furthermore, Dr. Kahn informed me she did not any doctor to cover for her in her absence. Therefore, we were left to figure this mess out on our own despite the fact that Dr. Babu-Kahn created the mess.
So to sum it up, Dr. Babu-Kahn mistreated my daughter to begin with, never thought to have her tested for an infection which could have ended up being life threatening, could not make time to see her for a follow-up appointment, and never once contacted us to see how our daughter was doing.
I have worked with at least 50 doctors in my career for the past 25 years and have personally been treatment by no less than 50 doctors in my adult life, and I have never seen a doctor that is more incompetent, more unprofessional and more negligent than Dr. Babu-Kahn. I truly believe you could be putting your life at risk if you let this woman "care" for you. read more
