Dr. Samir Khalaf, MD

My brother went to emergency room for a UTI. Got back from cat scan, was left on stretcher back in emergency room at which time they safety railind wasn't put up on right side of bed, my brother is a stroke patient by the way. At which time he fell out of bed flat on his face. Had a golf ball hematoma on right cheek, in excruciating pain all over his body, face and head. And Dr. Said he was being discharged. Also Dr told my brother his fall was his fault. Extremely unexceptable behavior from a medical physician. Dr. Also told me I was hostile when I asked how did this happened. Dr Also never examined my brother after falling out of bed. He lied about following safety protocol.

I've left a review about this doctor in the past, but i can no longer see it. I thought I was having a panic attack at the time. I was told repeatedly that my symptoms were only anxiety. I was nauseated and losing consciousness on and off. Turns out that it was not anxiety at all. I have a dysautonomic condition called POTS, and I was Audi diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder as of this year. The physical symptoms were strictly POTS symptoms, and I began to have an autistic meltdown due to the overwhelming sensory input in the ER room. I was told I was being "dramatic" and acting "ridiculous" by the doctor and the other staff there. I have a lot of medical trauma from past physicians, because I also have a rare connective tissue disorder called Ehlers Danlos, which no one ever seems to believe even with it being in my chart. This one visit caused me to stop seeking help when I truly need it.

He was very rude and condescending to my wife. He kept interrupting her and ignored her when she was in very clear distress. Dismissive of most of what she said and raised his voice to her.

Dr. Khalaf provided excellent medical care to my daughter. Very compassionate and professional. Explained rationale for testing and gave clear interpretations of results.

Dr. Kalaf did not seem to care about my condition. He also had a very cavalier attitude.
