I acknowledge that I can’t judge a provider from a single, less than an hour interaction (even though she billed an hour). I will summarize my thoughts with this statement: she lacked any amount of compassion or empathy that I am looking for in a provider to manage my chronic illness. I went from looking at my disease’s life expectancy and cancer risk on my phone in the waiting room to being berated about my medical record, which is incomplete due to the healthcare system, not my dereliction of duty. I have worked as a medical scribe, seeing thousands of patient encounters and I’m now in medical school. I know a disinterested provider when I see one. I’m concerned about her other patients who aren’t familiar enough with the medical field to advocate for themselves. But again, only one brief meeting, so maybe she’s amazing and was just having a bad day. I’m sure this is more likely, just reporting my personal experience.

The Technician that assists Dr Masood was very kind and efficient when she explained the procedures & the items being tested. I was kept in the loop from beginning until I was leaving. After my visit was over & the dr was gone, I started to have an much stronger response to something, the front desk staff called the nurse & she came right away to make sure that I was alright & to attempt to diminish my reaction. Very caring encounter!

Comes off as very arrogant. The first time I saw her she didn’t even listen to me and did not help. I came back a year later with the same problem and she copied and pasted the same “solution” as last year even though I’ve been dealing with eczema for years and what she suggests does not help. I think I know what works for my body and what doesn’t so she should not be giving me general solutions that should help but instead should specify based on the patient. Now I have to wait 4-6 weeks for a possible cure that I should have had a year ago.

Unfortunately as detailed as her notes are she doesn’t listen to me. I called due to another reaction causing eye AND lip swelling and itching and she wanted to treat me for pink eye and send me to optometrist. Even though I just saw her Saturday. Finally when my mom got involved she increased my Zyrtec for swelling and itching. I’m having an allergic reaction and would of been dismissed for pink eye.

I have actually described my appointment to friends and family as 'fun' (and I'm typically severly anxious about any type of medical experience). The nurse was wonderful, too, and instantly made me feel comfortable. The entire testing and diagnosis process was fascinating.

External Professional Relationships

Pharmaceutical, device, and biotechnology companies frequently collaborate with basic scientists and physicians within an academic medical center to help advance science and improve patient care.
