Ob/Gyn & Infertility Services of Northern NJ - Dr. Daniel Hakimi Reviews
Oct 21, 2019
We faced a few issues with dr. Hakimi's office, but my third appointment is where we detected fraud by hakimi himself.
My ultrasound appointment was confirmed by the midwife & front desk twice...A total of 3 confirmations. My husband came with me this time as he was going to demand to speak to a doctor about the concerns with his office. This specific visit was supposed to cost $150; they charged $200 Which i didn’t catch). I was then told i'm scheduled for a consult with hakimi, not an ultrasound. Wrong. My appt was for an ultrasound only, so i’m thinking why did someone schedule me for a consult when i already had one with the midwife? Hakimi brings my husband & i into his office & my husband begins to tell him of our concerns.
Fast forward...Hakimi tells us he personally cancelled my appt with the ultrasound tech because he wanted to do it himself, however he never had anyone update me: the uninsured & paying customer! thinking he’s addressing our concerns we continue discussing everything. After we spoke, hakimi told us to wait in the waiting room. The girl at the front desk then says we owe $150. Huh?? We were told the ultrasound & consultation were 2 different services & that the $200 we paid was for the consult; we still owed $150 for the ultrasound. Hold up...But we weren’t there for a consultation! there was never an appointment for 2 services nor was i updated that hakimi personally added on this extra service until after way paid for our appointment that morning.
What hakimi did was the classic bait & switch in order to siphon more money for a service that was not agreed upon Remember, we don't have insurance). After going back & forth, we tell them to cancel the ultrasound & to give us copies of all of my medical records. We are done with that office!
My husband and i believe we were able to see through their bullshit because we’re paying out-of-pocket, thereby noticing the scams. Our experience echoes many of hakimi's negatives reviews. If we experienced scam tactics with him, i can only imagine what he does with insurance companies.
