    While the doctor has a pleasant demeanor, the quality of care I received was disappointing. During…read moreprocedures, he seemed rough and lacked sensitivity and compassion. After I was hospitalized with complications from a procedure he performed, my follow-up calls were never returned. Overall, I felt unsupported during a very serious situation.

    2/19/2024. 2pm. Unfortunately, I won't be seeing this doctor, and through NO fault of HIS. He may…read morevery well be brilliant...however, the female think-tank reject on the phone 20 minutes ago...that's another story, and the reason why. Uncaring, vocally comatose, and KEPT asking my wife for THE SAME INFORMATION OVER AND OVER. **Office: What's your husband's name. -- My wife gave it. Office: Insurance? -- My wife gave it. **My wife: Do you want our supplemental insurance, too? Office: No, not necessary. Date of birth? -- My wife gave it. Office: Can you read the insurance card number again? -- My wife repeated it. Office: Do you have any other insurance? **My wife (what??): I just asked you if you wanted it, you said not necessary. Office: Well, can I have it? **My wife (bemused): OK...let me get the card. (my wife reads the info to her). Office: OK, what's your husband's date of birth? **My wife (huh?): I gave that to you already. Office: Can you give it to me again? **My wife: Seriously? You didn't...get it?...a few minutes ago? OK. (she gives it again) Office: And what's your husband's name again? **My wife (trying to keep calm): That was the FIRST thing I gave you 5 minutes ago! Office: Can you spell it for me? **My wife (looking at me at this point and shrugging her shoulders in disbelief): Sure. (she spells my name) Office: Your insurance, can you read the number again? **My wife (understandably fed up): You know.........it doesn't sound as if you're really interested in even having this conversation, since you keep asking me the EXACT SAME QUESTIONS!! over and over. I think we'll find another doctor whose office staff actually pays attention!! (My wife hangs up the phone). SO...I'm guessing it shouldn't be THAT difficult to ascertain WHO was answering the phones in Dr. Hillyer's office at 2pm on February 19, 2024. Because THAT WOMAN...is the FIRST INTERACTION the "public" experiences while representing Dr. Shahab Hillyer. Incompetence. Lack of caring. Indifference. That's the ONLY thing we walked away with from this one, simple phone call to merely set up an appointment. Pay attention, Dr Hillyer. You may very well be terrific, but WE'LL never know, because you hired Ms. Indifferent to answer your phones.

Bahamas Surgery Center was exceptionally clean, well staffed, and well organized. My care from the front door to the nurses (Judy and Drew) to the anestesia provider ( Dan) and of course my physician (Merriman) provided the absolute best care.

    I wish I could give 0 stars. Easily one of the worst doctors we've had a consult with in years. We…read morewere dealing with a serious issue waiting on his consult since he was on call. He couldn't have been less personable, void of any personality and bedside manner, and appeared to be in a rush to leave (we were waiting days for his consult). He spent about 3 min with us, which would have been about 30seconds if we didn't begin asking him questions, and his advice was "see a doctor after you get discharged'. Really? He never offered a gameplan, he lied on the consult about 'discussing findings' (he didn't discuss anything, he basically just said 'go see a doctor'). He also had misinformation in the consult that we disputed in which the hospitalist agreed with our dispute. There seems to be a trend of him getting things wrong according to the reviews, and he seems to have a bias towards disabled patients. He never offered to schedule us post-discharge and kept trying to pass the buck to find another doctor. Hopefully you aren't as unlucky to get stuck with this guy. We've dealt with many specialists and he was among the absolute worst. Hospitalist helped us get in touch with a new specialist and already have next steps planned for a procedure which he said he recommends we get done, something Dr. Youngstrom didn't even discuss. Dr. Youngstrom, I feel sorry for anyone who gets stuck with your ass. We're lucky as hell we didn't get stuck with you.

    I' got an authorization, from my doctor to see Dr Youngsrtom. I've tried making my appointment for…read more2 weeks. The appointment person gave me the runaround and told me that they didn't receive my authorization even after calling a confirming that my authorization was sent twice. I talk to Donna the office manager after 2 weeks of trying to make an appointment. Donna tried telling me that the doctor needed to review my medical history to see if he will accept me as a patient. She said that every doctor's office does this. After telling Donna that it's not true, my wife runs 3 medical offices. Donna then said "well do you want to make an appointment"? Nope. If staff and management is this ignorant and thinks patients aren't important I'm good. Waste of my time.
