Ather Siddiqi's Online Review Report Card

BE PREPARED TO WAIT....I DO NOT WAIT: I arrived when I was supposed to. Paid my $100 copay only to sit back in the exam room waiting for 45 minutes (the amount of time when my appoint should have been over) past my appointment time (not arrival time but appt time) . Nobody came in to tell me he was running late, kiss my rearend, he'll be with you shortly. NOTHING. So I basically took 1/2 day off to pay $100 to wait in an uncomfortable exam room to be seen by no-one. I don't even wait 30 minutes on a hot date. The nurse at the station looked at me crazy as I left...didn't try to stop me or explain, though. The medical assistant looked at me funny and I said, "No one every came in." Her reply was, "Not yet." It wasn't oh, my goodness, I'm sorry. He will be in shortly, nothing. I'm the consumer and I have choices. I choose not to visit that office again. As for me and my money, we'll go elsewhere. I WISH THE FRONT OFFICE COULD GO WITH ME. THEY WERE GREAT.

After an operation I had a collapsed lung. Out of all my doctors, Dr Seddiqi was the most caring and compassionate. He visited me in the hospital every day and worked me through it. In comparison, I fired my gastroenterologist who couldn’t have cared less about me.

Getting an appointment in a timely manner is a joke. The people who answer phones and questions, need to find another job. I believe this place is taking advantage of people and the insurance companies. My husband went on April 11, April 17, June 6, and today May 22, Dr. said he needed a sleep study, which was done on the 6th. Dr left to find out what was going on, never came back. Sent nurse in, and sent husband home to wait to see if they can "FIND" his paperwork.

The doctor seemed fine but do not ask his staff for anything very unprofessional, will not return a phone call. And they will tell you that they don't care what you think about the service. Very fustrating to deal with

Thank you Dr Siddiqi and your staff for making my recent visit easy, quick and completely satisfactory. You are such a caring Doctor.

Doctor Siddiqi dismissed my case after 3 visits without addressing my concerns, listening to my symptoms, etc. He showed no concern for the chronic pain I was experiencing as a result of my cough, and did not prescribe any medication to help control the cough (rather, he prescribed asthma inhalers that were ineffective for my condition). I was referred to a rheumatologist after 2 visits, and the rheumatologist told me that Siddiqi was just trying to get rid of me.

After three office visits I felt I was treated poorly. I felt hurried and questions were still unanswered. When I left messages with his office staff I still was ignored.
