a year agoTo the San Gabriel community and surrounding areas, I am writing this complaint to alert the public to the unethical medical practices of Dr. Tarek Nassif. My father was admitted into the San Gabriel Valley Medical Center on Tuesday, July 18, 2023 after being lost for four days. In admitting him to the hospital, we wanted to make sure he was in good physical health and to be given a psychological evaluation by a trained medical professional. To an untrained person, it is obvious that my dad has mental health issues. Our family has pursued diagnosis through a primary care doctor but given the rules of insurance it will be months until we are able to get him evaluated. We were hoping for the hospital to provide a preliminary diagnosis or provide us with resources that will help us give my father the medical care he needs. When my father was transferred to the care of Dr. Nassif, he immediately denied my father having any mental issues and attributed this to his infection which can cause confusion to the patient. Although a valid point to some, Dr. Nassif did this without even having spoken to my father at all. How can you deny any mental and behavioral issues without speaking to the patient or even doing a physical exam? We disclosed our concerns with both the attending nurse and the social worker we assigned. We also raised our concerns with other staff at the hospital. We quickly learned that this doctor is known for being stubborn. Stubborn? I would say he is unethical and incompetent in providing adequate care to his patients. Everyone in his staff is afraid of speaking up because they need to continue working with this unethical doctor. We pursued the route of changing my dadโs doctor. We formally requested a doctor change. We waited over 24 hours to hear back from Dr. Nassif. The process in the hospital requires that the doctor and the patient/ patientโs family sit down to discuss the issue. For logistical reasons, only one of my family members was able to be present. Dr. Nassif did tell him that my father did in fact receive a psychological evaluation. He also said that in the discharge papers he would make note that my father was suffering from dementia. Since my family member was assured by Dr. Nassif, he did not see the reason to pursue a doctor change. At discharge, we soon found out that Dr. Nassif in fact LIED to my family about my doctor receiving a psychological evaluation. There was a consultant that came into the room and spoke to my sister and I. The consult never even spoke to my father. Dr. Nassif then used this fact to twist the truth and LIE to my family. Upon discharge, no mention was ever made about my dadโs mental condition. The only diagnosis received were rhabdomyolysis, and hypertension. No mention whatsoever about the dementia. Even though the doctor assured that this would be written on his report. Dr. Nassif is a liar and an unethical doctor and I am feel very sorry for the future patients in his care. This is such a heartbreaking experience, but we will get my father the help he needs. Unfortunately, it will take months to do this. We could have received help from the hospital to keep my father safe and unharmed. However, all that Dr. Nassif did was create an unnecessary roadblock to my providing my father with adequate medical care. Sincerely, Denise Manjarrez

a year agoMy mom was refused in medical treatment by the โdoctorโ NASSIF, TAREK. He told my mom he is working 25 years!! Who cares how many years you work?! She came to you today as the doctor to seek help in medical treatment. It looks like he hates his job, hates his patients, doesnโt want to see the problem and help. He must be taken his Certificate to work in Medicine. We were so unlucky!!! She admitted to emergency room today in a hope to seek help from doctor (unfortunately, it was TAREK) as she has mass around her neck to be checked. He did not help her at all. Instead he sent her to another doctor, to another hospital that would take her insurance. Even though, her primary doctor not in this hospital as we relocated and too far for us.
