I have never been to that hospital, but I was mistreated by Dr. Syed Rasheed in Beckley, WV. He is an endocrinologist that I had been referred to as a new patient when I moved here. I am a type 1 diabetic, very brittle, with hypothyroidism and a goiter as well a PCOS, Rheumatoid Disease, Fibromyalgia, Sjogren’s Syndrome, and several other serious health problems.
I was there for an initial work up and because my goiter was getting larger. I also was having other problems such as migraines and severe fatigue.
Dr. Rasheed spoke maybe ten words to me the entire visit. He did not palpate my throat to feel the goiter as my other endocrinologist did. Instead, he looked over my chart and began speaking into his recorder, saying things that were very wrong, such as I had no history of headaches, I had good A1C (at the last lab it had been 10!!!!) and that he found no presence of a goiter!!!
When I and my husband spoke up and tried to correct him, he did not speak a word, but simply got up, gathered my chart and left the exam room! I was so upset I was in tears!
My husband helped me put my coat on and his nurse came in and asked us where we were going. I said that I had never been treated by such a poor excuse for a doctor, that not only was I not examined but that the statements he was dictating were outright lies, and that I was leaving. She handed us a paper to take to the front desk for billing, and my husband told the office manager that we did not expect to be billed for the visit, as the doctor did not do anything for me, did not examine me, and if we found they tried to bill either of our insurances we would deny the claim!

Well, not only did we end up denying that claim, but I reported him to the state board and to Medicare. A few months later, I went into Diabetic Ketoacidosis and had to be admitted to the ICU at the local hospital. I specifically stated that Dr. Syed Rasheed was NOT to be treating me, that one of the other five endocrinologists could handle my case.
Do you know that idiot came striding into my room like he was going to treat me whether I liked it or not? I started screaming at the top of my lungs “GET OUT YOU QUACK!!!” over and over and he couldn’t run out fast enough!!! LOL
I was treated by a much better doctor afterwards, and a few months later, Dr. Syed Rasheed retired from practice! It seems that my reporting him to my insurance caused an investigation and he was found guilty of many violations in billing and claiming to be performing tests and exams on hundreds of other patients who he had never laid a hand on or even taken a blood sample from!
So, I urge anyone who is a victim of shoddy medical treatment to raise their voices, both literally and with the governing agencies!!! We must rid the medical field of these charlatans and stop them from mistreating and robbing patients who need care!!! God Bless!!!
