Dr. Bahman Falakassa, MD

My husband was hospitalized at Kaweah Delta in Visalia, CA. Falakassa was the GI dr assigned to the case. My husband obviously had a GI bleed. He had dark stools, blood count was 5.4 , and the ER dr said that his stools were positive for blood. My husband spent 13 days in the hospital and Falakassa did literally NOTHING to even try to diagnose what was going on. Blood transfusions kept being given but not one scan or scope was ordered to find the source of the bleed. Once my husband's blood count remained steady (still low, but not low enough for another transfusion), we asked for a discharge. We are now seeing a dr from USCF who did more for my husband in a 15 minute appointment than Falakassa did in 2 weeks!

all this doctor cares about is money. extremely rude to his patients...stay away

Darlene T, I had a colonoscopy procedure on 5-10- 16 Dr, didn't give me enough anesthetic injection dose, when I ask him what was going on, he ask some one that was with him to assent in more medication, the person reply that they didn't have any more, so the DR ask him to go the to pharmacy to get the meditation that they need, the person replay ,that they do not carry our brand, I was in so much pain, feeling death, praying to live, later the Dr ,and the two person in the room was gone

I had an endoscope with this Dr... When given the annistetic injection, it did not work. Rather than giving me another dose, or different medication he stated, "hummm your body must be used to taking drugs..." at that point the object used to keep my mouth open had already been inserted so my ability to respond was taken away.... He than had the nurses hold me down as he performed the procedure while I was wide awake. I then walked out by myself, unassisted after the procedure.
