Rahban Said, MD

This man is mentally ill or something.
I have never experienced anything like this. With in less then one min of the approximant, he came with in two feet of my face and started screaming, and screaming and screaming. Telling me that he is the head of this and that, and why I am telling him all these symptoms of mine.
I felt in danger.
I say this with all seriousness; I truly think there is mentally illness here with this man.
PS– the office is filthy.

Probably the worst doctor in Los Angeles. Everything from misdiagnosis to horrible bedside manner, to ridiculous, unprofessional attitude. I feel sorry for his other patients. He should have his license revoked.

Extremely Arrogant… Mis-​Diagnosed because of his ego, inability to listen and failure to research current «modern» medical findings… 25years as head GI instructor at UCLA (yelling at me that he was the head Doctor at UCLA that he knows everything, over and over.), huh… Well, you need to go back to med school, as a student.
I went and saw another GI, a REAL GI doctor and got a completely opposite diagnosis, the correct one!
Also, office, exam room, equipment look old nasty and dirty. Not what I wanted to see in a medical exam room.
I would not recommend this doctor unless you’re paying for a clown show at the circus.

I didn’t feel very comfortable going to this doctor. When I went in the secretary didn’t greet me or make me feel welcomed increasing my anxiety.
The doctor likes to brag about the patients he has helped which I didn’t want to hear because I was there for my illness (Not to mention doctor patient confidentiality)
Also when I called to reschedule an appointment (That I didn’t chose) they yelled and blamed me for there loss. They lied to me about how their insurance works just to get more money out of me.
All in all, even though there is a doctor in the office, it doesn’t necessarily mean that you will have a good experience. It all begins with how you are treated.
Would I recommend this to anyone I know? Absolutely not! Save your time and especially your money.

I’ll preface this with saying: This review isn’t about Dr. Rahban’s doctoring abilities per se, as much it is about the administrative aspect of my experience with his office.
That said… Wow, this is a fairly incompetent office.
Prior to my procedure with Dr. Rahban, I was given paperwork regarding my choices in sedation and their costs. After reading the paperwork, I called to state my choice (the one included in the doctor’s fee). The woman who answers the phone, Mary Jane, assured me she’d let the doctor know. Great, everything taken care of.
Well, either she didn’t let the doctor know my wishes or my wishes were completely ignored by the doctor. If it was decided, say for my safety or some like reason, that a different sedation (which would be billed to me) would be used I was never informed. No discussion of it even day of the procedure. Ah, until I received the bill post-​procedure.
Talking Mary Jane after receiving the bill to contest it she said the doctor doesn’t normally do the procedure unless the more costly sedation is used. When I asked why I was given paperwork detailing a choice of sedation then and why I was not told otherwise when I called in my choice or given a call back, she did not have an answer. In fact, I was told by her that she would call back. Still waiting for that call…
The office didn’t accept any fault for their mistake or the cost of it, were incredibly unhelpful with working with me through the situation, and when said they would call me with updates never did.
Like I said, not a review of Dr. Rahban’s skills, however, I can’t imagine mistakes of this type aren’t present in other places in the office. When it comes to my medical care I’d want things to be done correctly and be properly informed. If you end up here I’d recommend asking a lot more questions, even day of procedure, every step of the way. Better yet, avoid it all together.
