Dr. Samir Al Kabbani, MD

I have been seeing Dr Kabbani for over 20 years. He is the one who found out about my MS after other Drs did not. He has always been nice to me and answered all questions. I drive over 100 mile just to see this Dr, if I am late, all I have to do is call the office and they tell me they will see me when I get there. His staff has always been kind.

I’m 65 and had been diagnosed with epilepsy at 3 years I’ve had several neurologist in my lifetime. Dr.Kabbani is the 4th one to find I have 4 types of epilepsy and he is very supporting. He is very valuable and it makes my life so much better knowing he is my neurologist.Thank You sincerely and also his staff. Charlene Carter

I have serious doubts this man is actually a physician. He needs to be investigated. He puts all of his patients on anti seizure meds for which I believe he is somehow compensated by pharmaceutical reps. I personally was harmed by an procedure he performed which took 4 months to recover from. My very close friend who was also a patient was on a massively high dose of meds with dramatic side effects until I convinced him to get a second opinion and change doctors. When I changed physicians, my conditions improved immediately. Other physicians refuse to refer patients to him. I have worked in the healthcare field for 41 years. This is not a competent physician.

He is straight and to the point. If you suggest another way he will listen and advise you if he thinks it's not a good choice.

Nicest dr. I have met.

He Gave me a wrong diagnosis, never returned my calls, put me on meds that caused me major anxiety, then when I told him he said I needed to go see a crazy Dr. He never retuened my insurance companys paper work for my Botox on the units he requested so they denied the units he initially asked for. He never returned 3 call back to insurance pharmacy department they wanted to get a med put on the preferred list. He is he most incompetent Dr. I've ever seen I do not recommend you to see him unless you want him to through you on Epilepsy meds when you don't really have Epilepsy. He never pulled previous Neurology records. I'm very serious he terrible. He caused serious harm to me. Staff is also terrible, very rude.

First visit, I was very impressed. He was the first doctor to diagnosis me w/ EPILEPSY, (based on 2 abnormal EEG's). He seemed very knowledgeable, & I was super impressed. That's when things went down hill. He stated me on 1 of the newest seizure meds ( which he conveniently had samples of) & scheduled me to come back in a month. Couldn't take new meds, (reaction), couldn't get in touch w/ anyone at office, they REFUSE to answer phones during business hrs., but that's the only time you can leave a msg! Their VM States they will call back w/I 72 hours!! Enfed up in the ER TWICE, & he wouldn't even respond to hospital page or check on me in the hospital!! Finally get follow up apt.& was seen by nurse, followed by some assistant, who then relayed my concerns to Dr. Kabbani , he comes in the room sits down long enough to write a new script ( for ANOTHER NEW med) & walls out of the room!! I tried to stop him to ask questions or at least tell him what was going on, & he told me I should've addressed it with his assistant!!! Biggest complaints: 1) can't get in touch w/ a human at any given time, 2) only writes scripts for the NEWEST MEDS ON THE MARKET, 3) takes more office time to meet with pharmactical reps than he does with his own patients, 3) after first visit, I have seen him 3 more times since and spent less than 7 min. Combined ACTUALLY getting to talk to him about my issues/ concerns. This last visit I was trying to tell him that my PCP changed 1 of my other meds, ( in case it interfered with the new script)- w/o missing a beat, he cuts me off and says " THAT'S NOT MY PROBLEM "!! IF I COULD 'GIVE '0' AS A SCORE, HE DOESN'T DESERVE A SINGLE STAR!!

was a patient for many years then i fell on hard times left a abusive marriage got homeless has to miss a few appointments last second cause my ride didnt come to get me they told me they would no longer be my doctor told them everything the woman didnt seem to care so yes they will help you but god forbide if some bad happens because then you do not matther its sad i would still go back to see him he a great doctor his staff 5 years back were mean.

He has even said that he gets the patients in and out, like bam... He is not interested in his job at all, only the money. He has done absolutely nothing at all the past 2 or 3 visits i've had. well actually, he ordered an incorrect back brace, a back brace to support back injuries... not for aligning scoliosis, like needed.

He has to be the worst doctor I have ever come across. I would not recommend anyone wasting their time with him. He will mis-diagnos you, give you meds you don't need to be on that have really bad side effects, not answer any questions you have, him and his staff will treat you like you are the most ignorant person there ever was. All he does is push meds. And all the good reviews on this site were put there by him. He will not help you, or listen to you, or answer any of your questions you have. If you do ask him something, he will literally get mad at you, and after he diagnosed me with seizers and I tried to ask him questions about it. He got mad at me said he didn't need to see me anymore and that there was nothing wrong with me and that it was all in my head.

For starters, I found Dr. Kabbani to be flippant. He lied to a nurse right in front of me. I have never seen such unprofessionalism in my life. When discussing this with other doctors, the consensus is...he's horrible with people. No doctor wants to be affiliated with him. His behavior was so off the wall, I question whether he was under the influence. I have never bashed anyone over the internet before so that is how horrible my experience was. I plan to file a complaint with his board.

misdiagnosed as epilepsy for two years while refusing to do tests that could definatively prove or disprove the diagnosis. Even after his remark that there was no possible medical reason for the reaction (or lacl of) to the medicines.

his office is untidy, his staff is a mess,not to mention rude. The Doctor himself, is beyond rude. He never answers a direct question, and he interupts when you try to ask a question.The entire office is in total disaray. Left hand has no idea what right hand is doing, thus the patient suffers.

He misdiagnosed me as having epilepsy and slight strokes and put me on an epilepsy drug. It was impossible to contact his office or get them to return a call. I got a second opinion with a much better neurologist who did tests that showed no such problems.

I've been a patient for about six months and have spent about 5 minutes with Dr. Kabbani (all in the first visit). He asked about my symptoms and without hesitation gave me a perscription for epilepsy. Needless to say, I waited on some kind of tests to show that I needed it before taking anything.The meds made me seriously agitated...I was told this is common,REALLY? Because of my insurance they could'nt give me anything decent to start...it had to be the cheapest-nevermind the side effects...is anything wrong here? Still trying different meds,not even sure I AM having seizures.I got diagnosed and haven't seen the Doc. since, only one of his nurses,not sure if Thats the correct title. BTW,the office staff- why not fake a smile now and then,the rest of us do...

Non caring staff. Dr Kabbani spends very little time with you and brushes you off. The main thing I do not like is that he does not listen to you. Seems like he justs wants you out of the treatment room as soon as possible. Many interruptions or delayed appts due to his prioritizing the drug representatives. He seems to be very willing to give you prescriptions but little real care for your problem. I would avoid this doctor if at all possible unless you are just interested in drugs. All in all from the top down there is a lack of concern and caring. Also I was charged $50.00 up front for who knows what?? I do not have a co pay with my Blue Cross Blue Shield plan but they insisted on me paying them $50.00 up front. I do not think this operation is much more than a push drugs and money mill. :(

This is the best experience with a neurololigist that I have had.

I have been seeing this doctor for 6 months. The wait in his office not a comfortable one,an hour maybe more. He does not take the time to listen or hear what i have to say. Maximum time spent with me is less than five minutes. I am still suffering, and the medication i am receiving is not working.

I have been a patient of this doctor for two years. I recently had a tumor in my spinal cord and I can no longer walk. So I use a wheel chair, i got some bad bed sores and was called to come in for the second time my wheel chair couldnt get in the door. I was unable to walk or get any help from the staff other then chargeing me a missed appointment fee of 25.00. I was advised I am over weight but the truth of the matter the wheel chair is a standard chair, I had bed sores so bad they would bleed and had ordor so I was told to pay and reschedule. After I paid I was told to find a differenet doctor because I wrote a statement and requested it be placed in my chart. I never complained when my doctor with two paramedics that transfered me saw him fall asleep during my visit while I was talking. Then tells me he never order the medicine I have been on for two years. I had to get the pharmacy to fax and show Dr. Kabbani he was wrong,the ambulance knows that I laid on a bed, for four hours waiting to see the doctor only for him to be there five minutes, I had it documented. so go to another doctor, just because he has papers showing education doesnt mean he is the right doctor, Calling me to fat in front of a room full of patients and my nine year old son is horrible he stated I would fit in the door. It was bed sores i have medical proof we wrapped my legs so the order wouldnt be so bad. but i am disabled and on ssi and they took 25.00 from me for the appoiment I had to miss because I couldnt get in the door. I was promised they would reschudle but after they took the only money I had they gave me a month supply of my seziure meds and good by. Dont waste your time and money nor risk your life!!! God Bless

I agree, office staff is rude. Dr.s "bedside manner" is horrible. Follow up is non-existent, Labs and other tests I should have had were never ordered. I was charged $350.00 to have 1 form filled out! This Dr. only cares about how much money he can rake in. I changed Dr.s for my health!
