A. Saeed Ata's Online Review Report Card

I had a really bad experience with Dr Ata. I was getting terrible seizures but we weren't sure what they were coming from. Dr put me on seizure meds to see if they would help. Unfortunately didn't work so he scheduled me for an EEG. When I came into his office for the results his nurse told me that they saw seizure activity on the test. Dr Ata came in and said my test was normal. Also said that he couldn't do anything else for me. I was going to the ER several times a week with violent seizures. Left and went to another dr. Was diagnosed with temporal lobe epilepsy and put on the proper medication. Don't go to him if you have an out of the box problem. I think he's good for minor things that don't need figured out but I'd let the tough stuff for another doc. I had a really bad experience with Dr Ata.

Stay away. Horrible doctor. This guy is like a robot, giving everyone the allotted 7 minutes allowed by the insurance company. He does not listen to the details his patients give him because he's so burned out, its obvious. We told him very specific details about our sensitivity to medication and yet he insisted we try one of the most potent and controversial pharmaceuticals out there. We had an extreme reaction as we predicted and immediately called his office and said it was an emergency to his nurse and no one called back. 4 days later, we called again and they acted completely indifferent. Finally got him on the phone but not without the front desk telling us we had to pay $75 first (during the emergency) before Dr Ata would speak to us. He proceeded to tell us to stop overreacting and stop reading the internet. Does that sound like a professional doctor who is in service to his patients, especially during an emergency? I ended up losing the use of my eyes and a host of other paralyzing symptoms due to his carelessness and it has taken me 6 months to begin to recover and regain my life with the help of proper professional, compassionate doctors. The office also overcharged us by $500 and there was only one tech in all the staff that was friendly and knew anything about their job. Just look how they respond on these reviews in capital letters. Stay away. Horrible doctor. This guy is like a robot, giving everyone the allotted 7 minutes allowed by the insurance company.

He is the worst physician I have ever had. He is rude. He doesn’t listen to his patients. He doesn’t explain anything. His staff always seems confused and is not very responsive.

Fully impressed with the office, staff and physician. And they spent quality time with each patient, explained the diagnosis and the treatment plan thoroughly. As a registered nurse, I see quality this clinic. Patient centered and focused! Great clinic!

Called for an appt in Nov, told office had closed last Dec, stated I had not been notified so they did schedule an appt for Dec 7 at 10, now 10:15...no call, nothing Spoke with Office Manager a few days after finding out office had closed, because meds for my seizures had not been refilled, gave 2 days, she was rude, could not understand why I was unaware they had moved...again explain I did not receive any notice or that staff or Dr neglected to tell me a year ago in Nov that they were closing in Dec....still stated I should have been in....was not scheduled back for a year..... Did I have to reschedule some of my appts throughout the past years....yes, started in 2008.......they always throw that up when talking with them....did I reschedule and show up YES Wish a patient had rights for when a Dr did not show up for a scheduled appt Biggest problem was ALWAYS getting meds refilled.....told not to miss a dose....ha, that is a laugh when you would call several times then finally just go to the office to make sure they did their job.....

Dr Ata is a great doctor, however the last few times trying to get an appointment has been difficult. Left a detailed vm regarding my husbands change in condition and was requesting to set an appointment. No call back so I followed up with the office, only to be told since he had an appointment in March and they were short staffed it was important for them to return my call. Really, I wouldn’t say that was the right thing to say to a caregiver. Not important, I stated that I wanted the office manager to call me but that remains to be seen if I actually get a callback. I understand being shorthand’s but to not return a call because they left it wasn’t warranted… Dr Ata is a great doctor, however the last few times trying to get an appointment has been difficult.

Not this Doctor please I had been a patient of Dr.Ata for the last two years in which I visited him three times. I had seizures eight years back and never had any reoccurrence of seizures since then. In my second visit Dr Ata told me since I do not have any reoccurrence of seizures I could visit him once a year. On my recent visit on 11-8-2021 Dr.Ata sounded to be a different person altogether.The moment he entered the room he appeared to be bitter, arrogant and insolent. He simply told me that if I do not visit him more often and cannnot get the blood tests done I should find another Doctor. I think it is the doctors office or doctor himself should tell the patient how many times to visit and when to have the blood test done. My primary care doctors office always give me two appointments, one for blood test one week prior to the doctors visit ,and one with the doctor herself. I told Dr.Ata I could come whenever he wants me to come and can blood tests done when they are required. Two

I believe if the patient is stable and do not need frequent visits , the patient does not bring business to Dr.Ata medical practice so the patient is taken off from the patients list. I will never ever recommend Dr.Ata to any of my friends, relatives or children as he is rude,bad mannered and short tempered
