Dr. Fathima Nikhath Kabir, MD

I have to agree with the other reviews, one feel like a bother for asking questions to Doctor Kabir. I did not feel confortable with the front desk staff either. Those people need a class or two on how to treat patients. I do not recommend this office.

Poor excuse for a medical professional. Want to get misdiagnosed and treated like an inconvenience …she’s your gal.

I had been with Dr Kabir for over 15 years, until recently have different insurance policies and change my doctors, and changing again... miss seeing Dr Kabir. She is the best rheumatologist.

When asked a simple question over a lab result, she did not answer the question but she just started to tell me to improve the result. No information as what was the reason and how to improve. She is bothered by questions but also expects you to know everything as well.

Lack of communication. Very difficult to get in contact with for questions, concerns, or refills on prescriptions. This is especially frustrating when taking a very important, time-sensitive medicine. Medicine refill was cancelled due to misunderstandings about insurance and process of switching doctors, but was never notified about this cancellation. Do not return messages, have to keep calling until someone answers. Very dissatisfied with the care the staff showed for problems.

I liked Dr. Kabir upon my first visit and follow up visit to get test results. However, I had extreme difficulty getting ANY responses to my phone calls. This involved side effects, new medicine not working properly, and needing different medicine. Finally, after being promised that I would be called back 3 different times that week, I called the after hours number. The doctor on call did not work at the same office but, he took time to listen and, even though he didn't know the situation, he followed up with one of my other doctors to let him know that the new medicine would not conflict with my other meds. He called in the prescription but, Dr. Kabir was suppose to call me on Monday to tell me how to wean off another medicine. It is a week later and she never called. I have NEVER left a doctor because I was unhappy. I hope this review helps others because I feel that her lack of response is dangerous.

Insulting, judgmental, looked down upon general practitioners, was condescending, over all rude, uncaring and cold. One of the worst doctor experiences I have had in the last twenty years. Also do not schedule near anything else you need to do because no matter what her site says.... you will be waiting awhile.

Dont waste you time Dr. and staff are Horrible, Non-responsive and extremely UnCaring. I had fallen in my garage then went to wake imaging for XRays. I called the office 4 times telling nurse that I had fallen in my garage and hip was locking up could the Dr. please take the time and look at my recent X-rays. Well 3 weeks passed and not one response. I found another caring Dr. in the interim and waited to see if Kabir would return my calls. WELL guess what - she NEVER DID - Gee thanks allot Dr. (and I use that term lightly) for your concern and care of an existing patient. My experience says Do not use this Dr.

I have been going to Dr. Kabir for about 1 1/2 years. I moved to NC from NY 2 years ago and had to find a new Rheumatologist. As a matter of fact she knew of my former Rheumatologist in NY. That made me feel very comfortable. Dr. Kabir takes the time to listen to me about how I have been feeling over the last 6 months. We discuss all of the medications that I am presently taking and if they are helping me. I would definately recomend her to my family and friends. Her staff has always been very friendly and courteous with me.

The staff was very rude and did not care about the patients. The doctor was okay, but misdiagnosed me twice. After the first misdiagnosis, she was very dismissive of my concerns and wrote them off as due to being a college student. I am no longer a college student and I still have the same problems. I will never go back to this doctor and I will never recommend her.

The office never seems that busy but I always end up waiting for at least 30 minutes even with the first appointment of the day. My appt was at 9 and Dr didn't even get in the office until 9:10.

I first saw Dr Kabir about 5 years ago. She diagnosed me with Fibromyalgia & prescribed medications. I felt very comfortable with her & found her very competent in her profession. She took the time to listen & I felt that she truly cared about my health, Physical & mental condition. I would highly recommend her.

I went to Dr. Kabir a few months ago for arthritis in my hand. Her nurse at the time was very professional and Dr. Kabir was kind and spent adequate time with me. However, I was ticked off because when I went for my appt. they said they didn't have all of my files that 'their office' was suppose to request so the Dr wasn't able to review my xrays prior to the visit. After the visit I immediately went and got the xrays, etc. and hand delivered them to the office. I waited a bit and called back only to find out the front desk never gave her the xrays, etc. From there it was around and around and telling me the Dr was going to call me soon and they needed addt information to the point that they finally said, 'come back in a month'. But I said the heck with it!! I wouldn't recommend this office at all.

The staff in this office are awful. Rude, haughty, they seem to relish inconveniencing patients. I was made to wait for over fifteen minutes, then was asked--incredibly--"Do you have an appointment?" The staff are the reason I sought another doctor. I detailed the situation in a letter to Dr. Kabir but received no response. It occurs to me that perhaps the office staff intercepted the letter and she never read it.

i have gone to dr. Kabir for awhile now. She is very knowledgeable and helpful during visits. Her staff is the complete opposite. They seem to be very uncaring and will not return phone calls. They seem to have the attitude that patients work for them rather than the other way around. I really love Dr. Kabir but am seriously thinking of changing drs due to this issue.

I am not sure which is worse, the doctor or her staff.

I have been seeing Dr. Kabir for several years. She is professional and caring. She listens to my concerns and takes them into consideration in my treatment. I will continue to see her for my rheumatology issues.

Doctor & staff very unprofessional!! Lack of care and concern towards pain and symptoms. Won't return phone calls. Won't contact you with lab results. Horrible!

I sought this doctor out because she treats osteoarthritis which I've had for some time now. I was informed that they work be referral only so I had my doc fax records and they never called me.. and didn't return my calls. Then gave me a runaround; had my primary refax my records and still no calls. Long story short: They had rejected me as a patient because I have Fibromyalgia!! (dumbfounded - are you kidding me?) My impression of this doctor and her staff is horrible.

The complaint that I have is with her getting test results back. I called many times and I can't seem to get them unless I ask for a copy of them and come to pick it up.
