Emergency Medicine Doctors who are Physicians - Tarrytown, NY

"I drove 45 minutes on a Saturday afternoon to get to an urgent care in Mt Kisco for the sole purpose that they were part of my gp’s network. Dr Ishtiaq walked into my room and without looking up demanded to know if I had a primary care provider and why I hadn’t seen him. I told him that my dr was not in the office on Saturdays at which point Dr Ishtiaq proceeds to ask: and what do you want me to do for you? You already have medicine? It was strange, uncomfortable, and caught me completely off guard. I suggested that perhaps another physician could be of assistance. Thankfully the other dr on call was very kind, apologetic, and quite helpful. In short, Dr Ishtiaq was rude, disrespectful, and dismissive. I hope he is able to find some training to improve his bedside manner for the sake of future patients. "

"Physician was extremely incompetent, dismissive and refused to take responsibility for his action. He touched my toddler without permission and when I called him out on it he stated he didn't need consent as she was the patient. Claimed he was assessing her abdomen yet never touched her stomach but did try tickling her armpits as she was curled up in the fetal position. He did not review the chart and when we asked what medication was being prescribed and if it was the same as was last he said he did not know. He provided no education, did not give us any reason why symptoms were persistent, what to look out for or when to come back. When we requested further tests be ordered because we had no answers he said he felt no need to do so at this time. Constantly spoke over us, when we asked why our questions weren't answered he claimed he didn't know we were asking any questions. "
