I found dr. Tazyeen on an article that was saying this was one of the best doctors in dubai and thats why I went there: guess she stopped trying to be nice after the article.
One of the biggest flags from the very beginning should have been that she told me not to read. (I only read things from trustworthy sources and my book from mayoclinic btw.) But seemed that she didn't want me to be informed and asks questions if I was concerned.
A few days after I started with her, I had a pregnancy scare and I called her. She told me checking for my babies heartbeat is not an emergency and no doc will open up in the weekend for it. Lol I mean that's so ridiculous and scary that a doctor would say that, I have to laugh. I wasn't asking her to open up on weekend btw, just was calling her to see if I should run to the emergency department or something. Luckily I ended up being okay and didn't have to run to the emergency department after making a decision on my own. (She was no help.)
I had coughing and she prescribed me a Medicine. When I read the leaflet that came with it, it said it was teratogenous and should not be taken by pregnant women. (Teratogenous means it is harmful for the baby.) Thank God I read it and didn't take it. When I mentioned it to her, she just sat there quietly. I'm going to assume like any doctor, she made a mistake but she didnt admit to it or apologize like she should have.
One a side note, there are two receptionists there. One of them is extremely rude and does not know how to relay messages properly. Go to her if you want wrong info transferred.
Their replies on whatsapp are also a hit or miss. They don't always reply back. Only when they feel like it it seems.
The doctor Won't listen or remember properly. I will tell her about my constipation one visit and she'd act surprised when I tell her about it again the next visit. Like she's hearing that it was that bad for the first time. Were you not listening or not taking good notes?? Like why are you surprised by this now, when I'm mentioning it for the second or third time? Lol
If she doesn't like you, she'll have passive aggressive moves like telling me to move to the other room, right as I'm about to sit down: I waited for a good 30 seconds after coming into the doctor's room, noticed she hasn't said anything or acknowledged me, so I proceed to go to a chair and right as I'm about to put my butt on the chair, she'll order me to go to the check up room next door. Like she clearly could have said that two seconds ago without being so petty.
She can be extremely motherly and try to push you around like a true North Indian aunty. (She's pakistani btw.) Hm no I'm not looking for a mother, I'm paying good money for this service and I don't need you to boss me around.
What truly ended things for me and why I'm no longer a patient there is because of this: When I called about the wrong info their office gave me regarding a test, the carefree receptionist conveyed something else to the doc and the doc called me. Dr. Tazyeen got mad at me, wouldn't let me finish a sentence and told me I'm being rude and hung up on me. They drove me around for weeks cuz of the wrong info they gave me btw, yet she had the audacity to yell at me. How professional.
I would not recommend this doctor at all.
The only nice thing i can say: their nurse Belle is super nice and she'll give you time and patience to be there with you. I think she was the reason I stayed a patient there for that long.
