Dr. Armin M. Tehrany, MD

Bad bedside manner and no follow up. Very condescending bedside manner. I sat in a chair in a cramped space instead of sitting on the exam table. It was awkward and uncomfortable. I came for a knee injury. I don’t recall how my height came into the conversation, but he mentioned his friend’s daughter in Florida who grew to be 5’2. This didn’t pertain to my injury. I don’t know if he subliminally wanted to make me feel bad that I’m 4’11, but I’m fine with it. I have a wonderful 6 ft husband which I didn’t mention as I’m here for an exam not to make small talk. He finally examined my knee which was quick. I asked him if I could take my yoga class before taking an MRI, and he brings up his wife. Totally cutting me off that my yoga instructor would be sensitive to my injury, so whatever he said about his wife was irrelevant. When we were done, he picked up my AirPods that were next to me before I could, which wasn’t necessary. I thought that was rude and dismissive. The kicker is that I went for an MRI well over one week ago. I was able to log in for the results the next day. Dr.Tehrany never called to discuss the next steps. Fortunately it wasn’t a serious injury, but how unprofessional to not follow up. I have never had this experience with a doctor after taking an MRI Of course being busy, is the best excuse . Although when I was there, the waiting room was empty. The irony is that I wasn’t going to write a review of the bad office visit, but it’s the lack of follow up that prompted me.

I’m an athlete who is always on the go and I put my body through a lot of physical activities. A few years ago I started body building professionally and I think the intense training did a number on my shoulder and it was in need of some serious help. The first surgeon we went to said they basically couldn’t operate because it was a 50/50 chance. They scared and discouraged me from doing the surgery. I almost started believing I had no other option. My wife and I didn’t give up and decided to look up top surgeons in New York, because I needed to fix this shoulder and continue in my body building career. We came across Dr Tehrany, I was still skeptical from the last consult, so we asked around about Dr Tehrany and we got nothing but great review of his practice. When we went for the app, I was still very skeptical but Dr Tehrany and his PA came in, shook my hands and I immediately felt the confidence in the room. I work in healthcare, I’m around other nurses, PA’s and doctors all day and I can sense the knowledge from one’s demeanor. I was not disappointed as they both broke down my injury to me. They were aware that I worked in healthcare so they spoke to me in medical terms, which I appreciated. They assured me that the procedure was something very doable. We made the appointment, went for the surgery and I have never been more satisfied. The surgery was done lapriscopically and the scar, which you can see in the last picture, is so small and healed really nicely. The post opp visit was also very satisfactory and insightful. He gave me clear and concise instructions and also took into account my life style. It was one of the smoothest things I’ve had to do medically. If you are an athlete or someone who is serious about a great surgery and a great facility, I strongly recommend the office of Dr Tehrany.
