Dr. Mohamad Alkul, MD

On 06-08-22 I had appointments for my 4 year old & my 2 year old. The appts were for well check/establish care as we had never seen Dr. Akul before. My son has had some behavioral issues for a while now & I was advised by his teachers & both of his therapists to establish care with a new PCP due to UMC NW Pediatrics closing for good (former pedi) & to have them send a referral in to have him evaluated for ADHD or possibly Autism. We knew we would most likely need to schedule another appt. with him to get the referral but when we tried to talk to him about our concerns & explain what we are seeing at home with my son, he brushed us off, telling us that when I made the appt it was just for a well check & I never told the receptionist that my son had issues that would require a specialist - I did not know I had to. He then told us we can do the well check or we can find another pediatrician because he would not have accepted us as new patients if he knew my son would need a specialist.

Doctor Alkul has been the Best Doctor for my 2 children here in Lubbock. First, I was taking my children to a White man Doctor at UMC. He wasn't available anytime, I called for emergency visit for my kids. That happened 3 or 4 times and a friend advised me to take my kids to Doctor Alkul. I have been with him since 5 years now. He is always available anytime I call for a non appointment visit. Doctor Alkul is a "Great Doctor" I never seen in Lubbock. Thank you Alkul for all your great services. May God continue to bless you.

Completely disregarded my concerns for my child. Told me if I did not like what he said to go to my child’s PCP on Monday. I have never seen a doctor so careless and in such a hurry to get through seeing patients. I will ask for a different doctor if my child needs to be seen in urgent care.
