Dr. Faisal A. Fakih, MD - Winter Park, Florida

Came here for insomnia issues.

I had problems with both the front admin and the doctor. I went in to get tested for insomnia issues. The first appointment I waited for over an hour in the room. I finally complained and they sent a nurse in to get my information. I never met with the doctor that day and no explanation as to why.

They said I would have to come back in 2 weeks to get a sleep study kit to take home. Not sure why I had to wait two weeks to get the kit. I have sleep issues so I needed help and another two weeks was not good news to me. I had to come to the office at 8pm to pick up this devise that was poorly explained to me by male nurse and was sent home to use it and return it the next day. I returned it with a note that I had problems with the machine and not sure that it recorded my sleep. No one ever responded to my note.

After I dropped the machine off said they would call me in two weeks to give me the results. They called me two weeks later and I set the appointment. Then the day before they called to cancel that appointment and move it another two weeks out. What? I waited two weeks to get the results and they wanted to push it another two weeks. And that was the appointment time that they gave me. I called back to complain and they said the person was new and made a mistake in the scheduling. All the admin there seemed like they didn't know what was going on. Maybe one person there did as they always had to put me on hold to ask someone.

I got my appointment with the doctor to get the results. He said I was fine and did not have sleep apnea. I didn't think I did, but I have insomnia. He said to take melatonin, don't drink caffeine and not to exercise in the evening. Ummm, I know that information as it is in every magazine and website out there on the subject of insomnia. I said, but what can you do about my insomnia as I follow all of those rules. He said the same thing and could not refer me to anyone else.

So I think they are a dedicated sleep apnea doctors office and if you have that you get the machine and you are all set. Otherwise, this is not a doctors office that helps with sleep problems outside of that. Plus they seemed very disorganized.

When I saw Dr. Fakih years ago I went in for a second opinion. My first pulmonologist wanted to do a major biopsy procedure....I was 20 years old at the time. He read all her notes and saw all my CT scans (15 of them) and said she was going to do a procedure for nothing. He pointed out all the notes by the technitian and sure enough the tumor on the wall of my lung only "grows" when I breathe in during the scan. He did a few more scans just to be sure. He said the only thing she was right about was I have COPD in the same lung. He agreed that I should NOT be medicated for that since I have never had an episode and still have not eight years later. Thank You Doctor Fakih for confirming I did not and still do not have lung cancer.

Dr. Fakih is a deeply knowledgeable physician with excellent bedside manner. He takes time to listen and educate his patients. He has an equally warm and patient oriented staff. It's been a great experience to be his patient.
