This review is for the clinic and Dr. Alireza Kachooie I did not see Dr. Sogoal Kachooie.
Unpleasant experience, I went here with severe pain (4 years since a vehicle accident) through the whole right side of my torso from my lower ribs to my mid back, I already has a strong suspicion of what was occurring in my body. I handed him my condition on a silver platter and he failed to take the time, listen and diagnose me properly. I was referred here as it was suspected that I had Slipping Rib Syndrome, I mentioned this to the doctor many times however he was dismissive and never took the time to even look into the often missed and under diagnosed condition. If Dr. Kachooie ever reads this, Slipping Rib Syndrome is very real and very painful, it occurs when the tendons holding the cartilage of the false ribs break or stretch causing one or more rib tips to rub on the other ribs and intercostal nerves. Dr. Kachooie even felt my rib cartilage moving around but thought it was a band or tendon, turns out it was a rib tip from my 10th rib slipping under my 9th rib. If he had done some research into what I told him, I would have saved a lot of time and effort. At my last visit he seemed surprised that his injections weren't helping, he told me "If I can't help you no one can" and "No surgeon will touch you, you would need to find someone that is willing to operate on a dead dog.". His injections didn't work because he wasn't targeting the problem.
It turns out Dr. Kachooie was very wrong. I went to see another physiatrist that took the time to listen did some research and diagnosed me that day, he knew that a dynamic ultrasound of the ribs was also required in order to capture this movement with imaging, this was done and it confirmed Slipping Rib Syndrome. I am now set to try intercostal nerve blocks and have a Thoracic Surgeon repair or removed the rib. There are many surgeons out there that have fixed this condition.
Dr. Kachooie's clinic is like an injection factory nothing more. It might be okay if you know what your injury is and he's just treating that but he does not take time to listen and investigate something that he's never heard of. Not that is matters very much but the office is very outdated and looks straight out of the 80s or older. I also had to pick up my own injections from the pharmacy which was quite inconvenient. The office staff were okay but not overly friendly and very to the point. Overall stay away from this place if you can, probably the worst experience I've had with a medical professional. SO glad I found another doctor that took the time to get to the bottom of my painful condition.
