Fahoum Bashar, MD

Great bedside manners and made feel comfortable. excellent surgeon,

I got diagnosed with a simple hernia, so I called his office and his assistant took my information and said that they accept my insurance. I ended up waiting two hours after the time of my appt to see the doctor. I didn’t feel like the assistant or anyone involved cared that I was had to wait that long and just casually pushed the time that the doctor would be available. So I stuck around and finally saw him. He agreed it was a hernia and we scheduled the operation. At least a week later I then get a call from the dimwitted assistant to tell be that they actually don’t take my insurance. When I called back to see if I could get my $ 25 co-​pay for wasting a half a day for nothing, assistant said that Fahoum said no. From my insurance record, it looks like they got $ 220 for the visit from them and $ 25 from me for 6 minutes of work by the doctor. Still unclear why my insurance even paid them for the visit if «they don’t take my insurance». Very sketchy.
Many other great surgeons in the area. I advise you seek one other than this guy.
