I had a very bad experience here with Dr. Abubaker. I am a 25 year old female and have had problems with my muscles and my back. I had a positive ana and rnp so my doctor told me to see a rheumatologist. I got to my appointment at 9:30 this morning. I wasn't seen until 10 (which normally I wouldn't care because I understand they are busy). So I first saw the nurse which was very friendly. She asked me a lot of questions about my problems etc. That lasted about 5 mins. Then Dr. Abubaker came in. I instantly got a bad feel of him. The first thing he asked me was "why are you here?" What do you mean why am I here? He had my previous labs with a positive ana/rnp plus I told the nurse my problems. So I explained to him my issues. Everything I said he brushed off as if it was nothing and said it's probably something else. He said I most likely don't have mctd because it's usually seen in African American women. He said I most likely have fibromyalgia and that was it. He didn't want to do any further testing and didn't even explain what fibromyalgia is. Then after only being in with me for literally 5 minutes he told me to check out. He didn't give me any advice about anything. THEN to top it off he was going to bill my insurance with a 99245 code which is a level 5(very high) office visit which usually lasts between 60 & 90 minutes. So I called them and told them I work in the medical field and I know what that code is and a 5 minute consult with the dr is not a 99245 code. They did change it but even still. I can't believe I wasted my time driving to this visit. I took time off of work for him to tell me absolutely nothing. I really think they are over charging their patients' insurance especially the ones that only last a couple minutes. Check what they are billing your insurance. I thought it was kind of funny how easily they changed that code. They know they are over charging. I would never recommend this place. What Dr. asks their patients why they are even there?
