Trust Issues With Doctors...

[KarimaG 2]

I have bee reading a recent thread pertaining to a female physician in Casablanca that many people have gone to see about they're medical exams. It appears that honesty is 'not' the best policy in her office, and padding of the pockets are not out of the norm. I am wondering what peoples exeriences are with these doctors. I have three doctors on my list, and already made an appointment with the female doctor, and considering canceling it and going with another.

The three on my list are:

Dr. Alain Guidon, Dr. Khadija Zirari and Dr. Abdelouahed Ambari.

Anyone with any experiences with these doctors? Thanks a bunch for your responses!

From experience, I'd say avoid Dr. Zirari and go to Dr. Ambari. What thread are you reading?

I'm not sure what issues you are referring to - it's a routine medical exam what would the worry be? My husband went to Dr. Khadija about 4 years ago however, no issues - everything was fine.

lol... I guess Im just worried about the honesty issue on her part. I have always heard 'go see the women doctor', and now it appears she may not be a completely honest doctor. I was wondering what other ppls experiences were with these doctors. They did tell him to bring 1600dh,... and was concerned that when he traveled all that way to see her, they would up the ani (lol... is that what u call it? ani? anti? lol) and make it more.

I've not heard of that - but I know my husband had to pay her, then he had to pay for the medicine for the vaccines. As for cost, well it was 4 years ago so I'm just gonna guess that the price has gone up! lol. I know a lot of people do go to her and have never heard of problems. I'm sure if there were she would have been reported to the American consulate and they would take her name off their list.

She told him 1600dh. Im sure im worrying over nothing. Just hope she doesnt increase it upon his arrival.. lol Thanks for your response!

Aren't these physicians names provided by the consulate? I'm thinking if they've been given 'the stamp of approval' by the US consulate, these doctors would not be engaging in the practice of falsifying medical examinations or asking for patients that go to her for US visa medical exams to pad their pockets. But if that is the case...wouldn't the US consulate want to be appraised of this information, if indeed it is happening?

Agreed that it should be reported to the consulate or who-ever if thats whats happening.

FWIW, the OP in the other thread was paying for herself and her child, so the charge was higher, although it still sounded a little steep. I'm sorry to hear they were impatient with her child.

I agree, if someone has a bad experience with a doctor or they feel they were taken advantage of, they should let the consulate know. As for us, my husband saw Dr. Khadija almost three years ago. The amount they told him to bring was exactly the amount he needed, down to the taxi fare to take him from the doctor's office to the X-ray place or the pharmacy to buy his vaccines, can't remember which. This is not to say things couldn't have changed, but my husband had a positive experience with everyone he dealt with in her office.

+ she wasnt nice because of my son who couldnt stop from screaming and playing in her office ! maybe she doesnt like kids lol

My husband had her, and paid the going fee at the time. Although I don't remember how much it was. As far as her honesty, I don't think that she is going to be any more or less honest than the next one. We had one issue with her in that we were denied the first time around, and the medical that he had done with her should have still been valid at his last interview. She claims that she didn't keep a record of it, although it had been a little over a year previous, so he had to pay for a second one. I did report this to the DOS, but obviously it made no difference to them. Honestly I think any doctor in Morocco would have done the same thing.

My suggestion is to go to whichever doctor you choose, but to ask for a copy for your own records.

No need to be surprised. This is typical of MouadsW/KarimaG.

Your earlier post was completely blown out of proportion by MouadsW/KarimaG. Maybe I missed something but nowhere in your earlier post did I read that you had to pay extra money under the table/extra padding of the pockets. You paid for you and your child thats it. She overeacted and made a big deal over nothing!

That was how I read Sinad's post also. Thought I'd missed something somewhere.

Glad to hear you got your medical records, Sinad. My husband didn't get his entire record, but he went back to her office and asked for and received his immunization record after his interview, and that was a big help for AOS. So she was willing to give you a copy of your records prior to the interview? If so, that's good information to have here -- it was different when my husband went through. They were mailed straight to the consulate, no copy allowed for him, and the only information my husband had prior to the interview was from catching a peek at the X-ray and seeing "normal" stamped on it.
