I'm not a regular Yelper, but I logged into my account for the first time in years because I feel like I have to share my story.

I don't know where Dr. Hajaliloo got his M.D., but he definitely has a Ph.D. in scam artistry. I don't have health insurance, and I needed to get my collarbone fracture looked at about a week after the night of my injury to see if it was setting okay. All I needed was an x-ray and maybe a prescription refill, because I was downing Vicodin like crazy to dampen the excruciating, agonizing pain.

The first sign of Dr. Hajaliloo's scam artistry was the fee. He wanted $250(!) BEFORE examining me, BEFORE knowing what I needed from him, even BEFORE learning what my injury was. The second, and more egregious, sign was the lack of an x-ray machine at his clinic. For $250, he told me that he couldn't tell me anything about my fracture without an x-ray and that I needed to go to another location (when I was in seeing-stars pain from taking three steps, let alone sitting in a vibrating car) to get x-rayed elsewhere at my own expense. I understand that x-ray machines might be expensive, but HOW DOES AN ORTHOPEDIST NOT HAVE AN X-RAY MACHINE? If your job is to look at bones, how do you do that without an x-ray machine in your clinic?

So during the FIVE-MINUTE CONSULTATION for which he charged me $250(!) -- because this man has to gall to charge his patients $50/minute -- he told me NOTHING about my injury and added insult to my injury by instructing me to get the x-ray elsewhere and come back next week for the x-ray results in another five-minute visit, for which he would've charged me ANOTHER $250. He then left before I could ask him about the prescription refill. I told a nurse that I'd like to see the doctor again because I didn't get to ask all of my questions and I wanted to offer the doctor some constructive criticism regarding his brusque bedside manner. The nurse came back five minutes later to say that the doctor refused to see me again.

Needless to say, I never returned. I had a MUCH better experience at Dr. Philip Sobol's clinic in Westchester. It was admittedly a lot more crowded than Dr. Hajaliloo's office, but they had several doctors in attendance, all of whom had impeccable bedside manners, and more importantly, an x-ray machine in the clinic. It also cost $170 (NOT $250) for a thirty-minute visit, and they only charged me AFTER my consultation, based on what I needed from them -- an x-ray reading, a nerve damage test, a new shoulder sling; my x-ray cost extra ($55). I can't recommend the doctors at Dr. Sobol's clinic enough, and I can't recommend Dr. Hajaliloo less.

They explained all the risks and benefits of my treatment options. Everything was explained in detail, all my questions were answered, and I felt a lot better about choosing a treatment plan. They make sure to treat all their clients equally and without favoritism. I've always hated it when I've seen favoritism going on at other places I've visited. It's nice that it doesn't happen here. They're always able to answer simple questions over the phone. They only make me schedule appointments if necessary. Their staff is the most friendly, welcoming staff I've ever dealt with. They are so warm and professional, and make the whole experience that much better. They have a very good professional reputation. I know that I'm under the care of an expert.
