If you are looking for honest and genuine experience please read this review.
Iâve been a patient of Doctor Nailaâs since 2013. I was 13 when she became my primary doctor and I stayed with her for 5 consecutive years. For the first year or two, she was a good pediatrician, I will give her credit where itâs due.
But the issues began after 2014, she became dismissive towards my complaints. There were times where I would experience strange symptoms, such as: symptoms similar to type II diabetes, fatigue, nigrican acanthosis, frequent urination, sudden rush of blood in my body after consuming sugar. After getting me tested for diabetes, she explained that my blood sugar was completely fine and there was no problems with me. Yet since the symptoms persisted I continued to ask her to give me tests for blood sugar, it is important to note that I was clinically obese, 180-200 lbs at the ages of 14-18.
I was tired of hearing her tell me that everything was ok, so I decided to get tested through another doctor. I was told that my blood sugar was elevated and close to diabetic. I went to Dr. Naila the next week and told her what the other Docter had diagnosed. She undermined his opinion, and said âthere is no such thing as being close to diabeticâ.
These small issues that I talked about are not what made me compelled to write this review. It is what I experienced afterwards. Looking back now, I should have changed doctors right then, and I regret that I didnât.
At 15, I started getting some facial hair, unnoticeable but present. (And this makes me so angry just thinking about it) I remember telling Naila in every visit about my facial hair on my neck and my body, and EVERY. single. time she would say that most women have facial hair, and it was normal. No woman in my family has facial hair, and instead of looking into my health and my issues she disregarded my complains every-time. PLEASE if you are being ignored and not given proper treatment, leave! She didnât care about me as a child, she wonât care about your child either. A doctor is there to listen and treat you.
In 2017, my immune system became so week. That my body started displaying visual signs. I experienced hives, my hands were filled with Eczema, along with my feet. These conditions came out of nowhere and Naila treated this situation as if I had always experienced Eczema. To give you better picture of my situation, my hands were filled with small water filled pimples that itched immensely, so badly that I would have to scratch uncontrollably until all the Water came out. There was so much water that it dripped. When I told Naila this, she told me to put Vaseline on my hands at night and wrap my hands in a cloth, to sooth my eczema. That night I woke up in absolute AGONY, I itched my fingers and literally strips of skin pealed off. God bless my mom, if she didnât give me herbal medication, I would still be suffering because my doctor was incompetent.
In 2018, a month before turning 18 I went to doctor Naila. Keep in mind I had been to her earlier that year, many times Infact. She choose to get my tests for blood, hormones and ovaries x-ray done a month before my Medicaid expired. I was diagnosed with PCOS. KEEP IN MIND, I was telling her my symptoms for yeaaars, and facial hair is THE BIGGEST and most prominent indication of pcos. Yet I was left in the dark for years, undiagnosed, suffering emotionally and physically. My weight wasnât under control, my body hair tripled, my mental health suffered, and when my mom confronted Naila she had gave us attitude. Also it turns out the diabetic symptoms I was experiencing was due to the insulin resistance in my body, which is also a issue that occurs with pcos. So please Naila if you are reading this, stop practicing and retire. Because Iâm not the only person you have done this to. You are incompetent.
she insisted that my health was good and my symptoms werenât unusual. Her intentions were good, but as my doctor she was ignoring my issues and comforting me instead of listening to me.
