  Better Plastic surgeons in Mobile, doesn't know insurance procedure, non caring..., May 17, 2012

Hard time getting a return phone call once your procedure is over with. Dr and staff are 20 years behind on covered procedures with insurance. Certainly will NOT return a phone call about insurance after your claim is denied, and will screen your calls about that matter. They charge up front, so they have their money, and could care less if you get reimbursed or not. When I was upset about having to have the procedure done, I started crying. Dr Proffitt just walked out of the room!
  HORRIBLE!!! I cannot believe that they allow him to practice medicine...., Apr 12, 2012

This is a very long review but to summarize. Dr. Kong is possibly the worst doctor I could ever imagine he is a disgrace to the medical field. I was a patient of this doctor for 18 months. I was forced to see him because of workers comp. First you will call to set up an appointment. They do not verify your insurance before you arrive so expect to have some trouble with that. His office staff is incredibly rude and unprofessional. When you walk in the door the first thing you will notice is the other 400 patients in front of you who have been waiting for hours. The office is dark and the furniture is cheap (think thrift store). The whole place smells a little bit like urine and is covered in a THICK layer of dust. One you reach reception you will not be greeted. They have glass windows covering the reception area. I'm assuming so that when customer gets angry they don't cause physical harm to the incompetent employees. You will unpromptly be sneered at by someone who barely speaks english. They make you fill out about 10,000 forms most of which are illiterate and unnecessary. Now you can go ahead and relax because it is going to be a while. Next some angry woman will come demand you come into the back. They lead you down a very small hall way that has files stacked all over the floor. You will be upset at this point because the place looks like a landfil. You still have a chance to RUNNNNNNNNNNNN. You will be placed in a microscopic exam room and asked to wait 45 minutes for a nurse. The nurse will come in and give you a bunch of attitude if you mention you've been waiting. Then she will take SOME of your vitals with filthy equipment I assume is still there from the 1970s. You can relax again... call the health department... say goodbye to your closest friends and family. Whatever ends you need to tie up while your still moderately healthy. The doctor will come in who is a fat sloppy pig from somewhere in the middle east. He smells like french
  Is a very nice person, but doesn’t seem focused on me as a patient or person..., Apr 10, 2012

Feels like she is only half listening to me, and gives the impression that I’m boring her, and that what I’m telling her isn’t important. She doesn’t give supporting reasons for her treatment choices when asked, and is missing the mark in connecting with me as a patient, and seems annoyed when asked too many questions.
  Dr. Ghai's unprofessionalism and poor judgement almost killed me...., Feb 16, 2012

Dr. Ghai refused to have a heart cath performed on me at the request of Dr. Hess at Shands teaching hospital. I had seen Dr. Ghai about my malignant HBP. After several visits and a hospital stay he declared my problem was to much sodium. My resting BP was 167/110 at the time of my release from the hospital. I was referred to Dr. Hess at Shands for a 2nd opinion at the request of my family doctor.. Dr Hess indicated I needed a CT scan. He wondered out loud why this had not already been performed while under Dr. Ghai's care during my hospital stay. The CT showed I had Triple vessel calcification. Dr. Hess referred me back to Ghai to have the Cath performed. He felt this was necessary due to my symptons and family history(father died of heart attack at 49, mother had CABG at 62). He told me to have Dr. Ghai call for a consultation. Upon return to Dr. Ghai he refused to order the cath saying it was unnecessary. He said "I am the professional, Dr. Hess is just a surgeon". I returned to Shands were Dr. Hess had the cath performed. It revealed I had 5 blockages 752% or greater. I had CABG performed at Shands on 1/4/11. The physicians at Shands could not believe the lack of professionalism shown by Ghai. Dr. Ghai is completely incompetent. I would advise anyone seeing him to reconsider.
  Poor... He could be a "good" patient. Does not udnerstand simple basics...., Feb 6, 2012

Way too much desire to earn money in practice, and too less commitment for personal growth, education, purification. I know he is a descendent of Asia Minor (Polis, today`s Turkey). I don`t like him at all.
