Amjad Farooq MD

I like the doctor but office staff screwed up my scripts multiple times. I may have to find another doctor because it is not working for me. Also, when you call to try and credit the situation, literally no one answers the phone, with no option to leave a message.

Dr.Katrapati, seems forgetful or dies not write note or give instructions. I've had to follow up on orders after my visit for prescriptions and other items multiple times.

Dr.Katrapati's patients seem to be more elderly. When I saw him I was 26. I felt like because I was young I was pushed aside. The words "You're young, you'll get over it" were used often. I did not felt like my concerns were being heard. I would barely be able to get a word in at my appointments before he would rush out of the room. Again it was like since I was young I didn't need that much attention. I have alot of medical conditions. I do need a doctor who listens.

I switched to Dr.Farooq from the doctor in the same practice, Dr.Katrapati because Dr.Katrapati seemed to push me off because I am young. I have alot of medical issues so I mainly see specialists when I have a problem but Dr.Farooq is there for "routine" issues and follow ups. At every visit he also tries to address quality of life issues, is always willing to fill out paperwork with me. He is annoyingly optimistic though lol

Dr. Farooq had not seen me in a year and I am diabetic .Due to homelessness I was unable to keep up with my meds for diabetes but managed to stay healthy with a mostly vegan and raw diet. Dr farooq rudely assumed as someone with diabetes I ate badly telling me you can't eat what other people eat then prescribe me 3 extra meds for so called prevention for high cholesterol and high blood pres. He gave me a diff med for my diabetes because he makes commission off of sales from scripts bad DR
