Ahmed Maki's Online Review Report Card

This man does not care about you at all. During surgery he is not careful. I had an infection after surgery and got really sick during recovery simply because they were violent and scratched me up with the tubes they put in my mouth. Something that can easily be avoided. All to which resulted in the worst week of my life. Never again.

Although it is not expressively told, you will not be seen by Maki; rather his underwhelming and rude PA. She would not listen to anything I was trying to say. Jumped to conclusions about how I was feeling. Barely looked at my ears/nose. I was told to fill out a sheet with my medical history and my current symptoms that wasn't even looked at so she didn't know anything about me. This was not the first ENT I visited, I have sinus problems and every other ENT I have gone to looked at my sinuses but she did not. Im a chemist that gets exposure to chemicals which they would have know if they looked at my medical history; every other ENT has taken this seriously. I was flustered in the appointment as I was confused why I wasn't seen by Maki. When I was in the waiting area, the PA was aggressively complaining about another patient before me who was also upset Maki didn't see her. The way Maki and the PA were talking was extremely unprofessional, mind you they didn't realize I could hear.

Worst visit I have ever had to a doctor. Be aware that even though they don’t tell you, you’ll only be seen by his horrible PA on your first visit. This doesn’t make sense also because the appointment was specifically made by his front office for Tuesday because that is when he is In the Glendale office. Why does it matter if he won’t even be the one to see me. With regards to the PA, she wouldn’t listen to what I was trying to explain about my symptoms. Jumped to conclusions about how I was feeling. I have a dry nose all the time but when it’s cold it will be a little runny. As my appointment was at 8AM this was the case. So when she looked at my nose she was just “oh your nose is fine, it sounds like you can breath fine”. Well ma’am if you let me explain my symptoms more you would understand how I feel rather than telling me. I was extremely flustered from the moment she walked in because I was expecting Dr. Maki. She came in before I could even finish filling out the paperwork. I have sinus pain but she didn’t even let me get to that and she didn’t know that because she didn’t look at the paperwork I was Still filling out. As such she didn’t even know to check my sinuses. I think I was in the room with her for 5 minutes, probably less. Then as I sat in the office for someone else to fill my prescription (still confused on if I would see Maki) the PA begins bitching and ranting to Maki about how the patient before me was upset about ALSO not being seen by Maki on her visit. The PA was bitching for longer than she even saw me all while the other people in the office were awkwardly trying to get her to stop because I was sitting right there but of course she was on too much of a tirade to listen. I then ask the person filling my prescription if I will be seen by Maki and she responds “what for, you already saw the PA”. I say that my appointment was with Maki I wouldn’t have driven all the way here if I knew it wasn’t going to be with him directly. In a fluster she tells me to go back into the room and he’ll be with me. Him and the PA both come in and he just says how he doesn’t have to specify when appointments are made that he doesn’t see patients on the first visit. Insanely unprofessional. Was rude when he spoke to me. His PA is also extremely rude. Worst visit I have ever had to a doctor.

My experience with Dr. Maki was excellent and I had not one problem.I would definitely recommend him.Thanks Dr. Maki

If you have a health issue this Doctor is impossible to get a hold of. My prescription was different than what I was told and I have been attempting to reach this doctor for 2 weeks. Still no response. Good thing I am not dyeing. Very unprofessional. If this is how he treats patients before surgery how bad is it after??

I was given directions by this Dr.'s PA, and it was different than what she instructed when I went to the pharmacy. Have been trying to clarify this discrepancy with no follow up or response from Dr. Maki. I have left messages for him for over 2 weeks, and he does not respond to messages. This is very unprofessional. The phones ring for a long time. Yet no one gets back to you or even looks into your healing. Good thing I am not dyeing. HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE DOES NOT CARE!!!

Thanks again Dr Maki..... deviated septum no more, breathing like never before in a long time!

I was suffering from a clogged nose ever since I can remember. I had Ahmed perform turbinate reduction surgery to straighten my airway. He gave me honest advice saying I shouldn't add plastic surgery on top of my procedure If I was not ready or didn't feel right. The procedure was fast and I healed with great speed. He said he would become famous if all his patients healed as fast as I did. The check up with camera was fast, constrast to the long drive and wait time. When I mentioned i expected more than having him sticking a camera into my nose less than 15 sec, he said "what else do you want? Tap dance?". Doctor can be funny too, and I highly recommend Ahmed.

If there’s a zero star I will give it to this Doctor. The front desk people and him are very unprofessional. They’re letting the patients to wait for hours and catering patient who missed their visits a day before so they will push back patients who are scheduled that day. What’s worst is the interaction with this Doctor, he was staring at the computer the whole time and explaining the diagnosis for 5 minutes?! Will you consider it an interaction? I think there’s no ICD 10 code for a 5 minutes MD visit.
