I'm keeping my original review for continuity. This update is to show, using my own documentation,…read morehow biased and prejudicial language in medical notes can permanently distort a patient's credibility and access to care. I count myself lucky I met my new GI doctor, although treatment is complicated now because of my worsening injuries. Over the past four years I've had time to study what happened, review my records, and talk with professionals who helped me understand how the bias in my care took shape. The pain I was in left me cognitively impaired for a long time, which made it hard to see how dismissive the treatment really was while it was happening. Because of the wording used in my chart -- phrases like "patient is convinced" and "very likely psychosomatic" -- it's very likely the kind of language that led other doctors to dismiss my concerns and assume the problem was psychological. My injuries worsened, the connective tissue in my abdomen continued to tear, and I lost muscle support through my torso. A genetic condition was also upregulated and my skin permanently traumatized. That language still follows me through my medical record and continues to influence how I'm treated. Nearly four years later, I'm still trying to recover from my injury and the physical and psychological damage caused by dismissive, biased documentation and the prejudice that began in this office. I'm including Dr. Nowain's original notes, and other records that corroborate both the intense pain I was really in, the celiac artery compression and soft tissue damage, and the continual gaslighting using prejudicial language to dismiss my accounts and leave me in pain and suffering. These are all before the injury worsened. I can still hear Dr. Nowain's voice from that day in his office -- angry, certain: "You're having a panic attack!" When I said I wasn't, he replied, "That sounds just like something someone having a panic attack would say." It still plays in my head like I heard it yesterday. So, I guess there's only one thing left to say. Best of luck in all your health journeys, and remember: "One foot in front of the other, bravely forward. Always."

Anytime I see him, he makes the appointment a pleasant experience, so I actually look forward to it, which is rare for me since doctor visits usually give me anxiety, but not in this case.

I came to him after having wiped my GI microbiota from taking oral antibiotics and am currently suffering from SIBO / SIFO where I experience bloating, gassiness, headaches, nausea, combined with insomnia due to my discomfort. Dr. Rahbar has done a great job of listening to me, providing a comprehensive plan, and has a wealth of knowledge and is able to explain his plan and methodology in detail. He has great bedside manners and has an exceptional wealth of knowledge ranging not just strictly in the GI areas, but as well as expertise in the other organs and systems of the body. He has also helped to answer my calls numerous times when I had urgent health inquiries, even during off-business hours, without any complaint. Without him, I would be completely lost and hopeless with my condition. Though my treatment has not been quick and easy, he has helped to provide a clear plan forward to getting me back to health. Others have mentioned that he does not come cheap, but he is worth the price of knowing your health is in great hands.

This was the worst experience our family has had with a physician. We are furious and very…read moredisappointed. My mother reported ongoing stomach pain for approximately three months and repeatedly sought help. During one of her visits, she specifically asked about her pancreas and whether everything looked okay. She was told it was "fine" and was prescribed antibiotics because she had SIBO. No imaging was ordered to further evaluate her persistent symptoms. Months later, she was diagnosed with what appears to be advanced pancreatic cancer. I understand that not every patient with abdominal pain has pancreatic cancer, and I know hindsight is easier than diagnosis. However, persistent symptoms deserve a thorough evaluation, especially when a patient continues to express concern and specifically asks about her pancreas. We were left feeling that her concerns were dismissed rather than fully investigated. I hope this review encourages the practice to listen carefully to patients, take persistent symptoms seriously, and consider appropriate imaging or specialist evaluation when the clinical picture doesn't improve. No family should be left wondering whether an earlier workup could have made a difference.

After months of turmoil, I ultimately switched doctors after being told by Dr. Tabib that he didn't go to medical school to be on the phone with my insurance company for hours. I had started a biologic treatment and there was an abundance of miscommunication following my initial treatments regarding my maintenance treatment. Dr. Tabib was the ONLY one that could straighten it out with my insurance company. I put in hours and hours on the phone with them as well doing everything I could to facilitate resolution. During one phone call he made it clear that once this was worked out and I had my medication straight, if *I* wanted to part ways, he would understand. Ms. Theo (front desk) was a big part of the miscommunication happening on their end, and when I tried to talk with her about it, I was met with abrupt rudeness, but that was never addressed either. Dr. Tabib refused to discuss it. I was in tears, by the way, as I truly felt abandoned by people I had trusted with my health during the most vulnerable moments of my illness. Once we parted ways, I thought we were done. I received a bill or two after that, and paid them. It had been a tumultuous several months, and I was relieved for it to be over. And now I'm suddenly getting calls from a collections agency months later. Very disappointing ending to this story.

The people on the phone should just be taken out back. If your life is that depressing then don't do it. The amount of mistakes or misdone appointments and then canceling things when the dr decides he wants to go out of the country when you've already waited 2-3 months for your appointment. And them scheduling a follow up call so you can get some results from your procedure and ask questions because you didn't really get to ask anything immediately after your procedure, then never calling you. And when you call them asking where your call was they say we didn't have anything scheduled for you. So you have to forward them the email THEY sent you cause they are terrible. And have no accountability for anything. Always trying to blame someone else. IF YOU CAN AVOID DEALING WITH THIS PLACE FOR THEIR FRONT DESK AND TELEPHONE CUSTOMER SERVICE THEN YOUR LIFE WILL BE A HAPPY ONE. They also avoid helping you at all costs. They are scared to talk to anyone because they are absolutely incompetent. They will say someone will call you back then never call you. They don't know what they are doing. At any normal job they would be fired. Customer service is not their strong suit at all. After sending them something to fill out 2 weeks ago they were soooo lazy to not take care of it then after having to call about 20 times they say someone will get back to you but yet again NO ONE CALLS YOU BACK. And then when you get them they say give us another day then the next day say give us another day then the next day say give us another day .... And so on and so on.
