Dr.Enayet Rahim Dr. Rahim Scam doctor, mis-diagnose, endager your health, cuts meds without notice Houston Texas

 The first visit to Dr. Rahim, seemed very good and thought I was in good hands and had found a good family doctor to begin using after moving back here from out of state. I have several medical conditions, one being diabetic, high blood pressure, and general anxiety disorder. Upon my first visit they did everything perfect, checked my blood sugar, etc. My second visit I asked that my blood sugar be tested, it never was, the doctor came in and refilled my prescriptions and said goodbye, spent maybe 4 minutes with me. After that about a week later Maria the nurse called and stated that I needed to see a physiatrist for an evaluation that needed to go into their file once a year to continue to fill my meds, she said she would set up a place for me that would be free of charge, I finally got the information, called the place and they said they didn't do what the dr was asking for, so I called Maria back and told her and she said you could go downtown at 7 am and stand in line a take a number but before doing that she would call the other place for me and find out the problem, week went by and I heard nothing, so I called Maria back she said she forgot but would call them for sure and get back to me, she never did. I then had an injury that put me in the hospital for a week, and after getting out I made an appointment the next business day (Monday) and went in the hospital gave them a sheet with the meds to keep me on and ones to take me off of, seems the Hydrochlorothizide I had been taking for years caused my body to stop producing potassium and mine was bottomed out.

So once again I asked to have my blood sugar tested and they once again forgot to do it, met with the doctor told him about the accident at work and gave him the hospital paperwork, and he wrote out prescriptions and emailed them to Walmart, never said a word about seeing the physiatrist, nor did he the second visit he had the nurse do it over the phone a week later. During this last visit he never said anything about changing my meds or dosages other than what the hospital letter contained about the hydrochlorathizide. So I get to Walmart after the doctor office closed pick up med medication only to find out he cut my anxiety medication by 1/3 without even discussing it with me, which according to the journal of medicine and all articles I read said this could cause serious harm to me. I had stopped smoking for three months and now pack to a pack a day. I went back to the doctors office the next day to ask him why he had done this and why he had done this without discussing it with me at least. The lady at the front desk said well if you want to talk to him it will cost you another $50 office visit, I told her I was just there the day before and I wasn't there to visit he needed to come out and explain his actions to me, so she went and got another lady (the office manager) and she said he would not talk to me, that he cut it down because I had not gone to see a physiatrist yet to get a paper to put in his file, which was his employees fault not mine, and he should have discussed this with me during my office visit the day before if there was an issue. They said he was not going to talk to me and there was nothing I could do, but get the letter and see him next month, leaving me short of my medication I have been on for 8 years.

So today I went back to the hospital and located the doctor that treated me there as he was really great and wish he had his own private practice. I told him what had taken place, and he agreed that the doctor was wrong in cutting the dosage by that much at one time that it could cause me problems, serious problems, and that the physiatrist letter he was requested is not law or mandatory, just some doctors are scared and want to cover their butts, but that he should have discussed it with me himself instead of saying nothing, and he definitely should not have cut the dosage by that large of amount. He referred me to three other doctors that he said would take good professional care of me. do yourself a favor STAY AWAY FROM THIS ONE!!!
