What would you tell family and friends about your experience with this provider?
Meeting Dr.Adel was an unpleasant experience. Upon entering the room he spoke to me in a condescending/aggressive tone which persisted throughout my appt. He didnt ask why I was there but made repeated comments about me wanting surgery “just to not take medicine” I never said that to him & Im unsure why the comment was repeated multiple times; if it was a note from my file, it wasnt a fair or accurate representation of my reasoning. He made me feel like I was wasting his time & ridiculous for considering surgery. He spoke as if to discourage the tumor removal but when I asked him directly he plainly said “Surgery is an option otherwise you wouldnt be here”. I hoped to get his professional opinion but he didnt seem willing to give it. As this went on I became emotional; he thought it was over the topic at hand & responded w/“Why are you crying? I treat patients who actually have cancer & thats not what this is-you should be grateful”.Im not comfortable seeking further care from Dr.Adel
