I would love to give Dr. Sohaib Faruqi, at the Willowbrook, Houston location a minus 10. I have never been treated so rudely! He refused to see my 89 year old mother for a second opinion because she had already seen another gastro that recommended a colonoscopy for her when her stool tests came back elevated. He told his office girl to tell us as we are sitting in the waiting room for our appointment! She asked why we came and I told her our Primary care doctor recommended him and we were looking to change doctors. Our primary care doctor had rerun her tests and they came back in normal ranges and we wanted to explore options such as medications for her discomfort. She went and talked to the doctor and he said he would not see us! Amazing that this group obviously doesn't need new patients!
