Disappointed with Dr. Aliya’s unprofessional behavior
I had a 2:00 PM appointment today for touch-up . Unfortunately, my experience was quite disappointing. I arrived on time, but the doctor did not show up until around 2:40 PM. In the meantime, the nurses applied numbing cream without any prior consultation or confirmation that a touch-up was needed.
When Dr. Alia Mohamed Al-Ogail Ali Ballal finally came in, I expressed that I wasn’t happy with the results. Instead of listening with empathy, she responded with a rude and dismissive attitude. We spoke for about 20 minutes, and after checking my face, she decided I didn’t need a touch-up. I asked why the numbing cream was applied before any evaluation, and she simply said she didn’t want to waste time — which felt very disrespectful and careless.
There was no apology from her for the miscommunication or poor attitude, which left me feeling undervalued as a patient.
Thankfully, the staff member Lillian was very kind and understanding. She took the time to listen to my concerns and apologized on behalf of the clinic, which I truly appreciated.
To anyone considering an appointment with Dr. Aliya — I strongly suggest thinking twice. A doctor’s skill is important, but so is how they treat people. No patient should be made to feel dismissed or unheard.
I sincerely hope the management takes this feedback seriously and works toward improving the overall patient experience with more professionalism and respect.
