Dr. Saima Qurashi, MD

Dr. Qurashi appears disinterested and half the time I wonder if she is even listening. What I find particularly annoying is that she never offers an opinion let alone words of understanding.

I see the nurse practitioner now at Columbia Doctors because my experience with Dr. Quarashi has been horrible. When I told her I had children she meanly replied, “You?” for instance. She didn’t explain anything very well and because I have a mental illness and have taken a variety of medications over the years, she was very obnoxious about it and obviously isn’t experienced in this area, which I don’t expect but at least have some idea about the medication. I went in for a simple breathing issue and came out of my dealings with this very rude doctor (healer?? Ha!) upset. The nurse practitioner, Collins, is amazing however. Steer clear from Dr. Quarashi.

Dr Q was very thorough and attentive during my visit

I went to Dr. Qurashi for the first time for a complete physical. I felt that she was distracted and was not listening to me. She did not explain anything or give an opinion. She added a medication to my medications and then forgot to give me a prescription. I had to ask someone at the front desk to get it. She told me to continue taking the meds I was taking but when I called for a refill as the original prescription had run out, she said I need another visit which makes no sense other than being able to charge me again.

Dr Qurashi is the most thorough internist I have ever been treated by. She spends a lot of time reviewing all my specialist doctors and has a complete picture of all aspects of my health and makes sure my health care is comprehensive and coordinated. She explains things clearly and is a compassionate physican who provides high quality care.
