I have to think these positive reviews are coming from friends and/or family. Dr. Fuzaylov was nothing short of incompetent. I actually was seeing him for a routine issue--a muscle pull that got re-aggravated. He suggested a muscle relaxant, I was not sure I wanted muscle relaxants because they put me to sleep, but we agreed that a lower dose would be ok. I then took a routine test. When I exited I expected the prescription to be waiting--it wasn't, but he had left the office. It was a friday. The staff called him and he claimed I had refused the medicine, which was just not true in any sense. The conclusion of our conversation had been crystal clear--the dosage, how I would take it, etc. He simply did not want to look bad and fudged it (or else honestly is not altogether there mentally...). I could not have it called in bc I did not know my pharmacy number. When I talked to the staff Monday, they said he would not be until Thursday, so I could come and get the prescription Thursday. What? Really? I kept saying, "Are you sure you understand the situation?" It was like...a surreal comedy. I had an acute muscle pull...and it would be a week until I would get the medicine, lol. And...this is not like a narcotic, or something people abuse recreationally. It just makes you tired. I had to actually become angry and yell before she acknowledged that it would be a good idea to check with the other doctors in his office about what to do. Until that moment she just kept saying, very pleasantly, yes, come back Thursday for your prescription.

Other issues: the place is unsanitary. It smells like urine. When you go to take a urine test, they give you a little cup (ok) and a little tube, then ask you to pour the cup into the tube and bring it to them. Impossible to do without spilling. I cleaned up as best I could--who knows how many people do.

Finally, I had the great misfortune of asking the Dr. a reproductive health question. He seems utterly ignorant on issues of women's reproductive health. I would URGE YOU never to take a daughter there or recommend him to someone with young women in the family. He is sure to send really backwards, ignorant messages to them.
