I was both a patient and did some close to volunteer work for the chiropractor Dean Ziegler. He was arrested and has a felony charge for Insurance Fraud. I also witnessed the falsification of medical records. He was going into jail for the fraud charges and wanted to send bills to the insurance company on a hand full of patients. He didn't have notes completed to send with the bills. He wanted me to create those notes and had instructed me to do it making patient pain scales change in a bell shape format, showing the patients getting a little better and getting a little worse to justify ongoing treatment. I knew this was wrong, but if I didn't do it, another massage therapist would have been told to do it. That massage therapist could loose their license for doing this fraudulent act and by me doing it, i could be charged with no such thing nor did I have a license to loose. I basically wanted to protect the innocent massage therapist for any sanctions.As a patient, I had a medical specialist order Rehab for my back injury. All that this chiropractor wanted to do was massage which is easy money and not perform the ordered rehab which I needed to recover. He had ordered massage three times a week and delayed my recovery. His patient exam he did on me had notations that weren't accurate. He was not accurate in my evaluation. For instance, he noted I had pain radiating in a manner that was not. He even billed for an exam with every massage although having one initial. My attorney suggested I stop going to him, especially since he had a felony charge against him.I also had a friend that was going there for treatment as well. Shortly after receiving back adjustments in a few consecutive days, she developed severe pain in her lower back and ended up in the emergency room. This information was given to me by my friend and same complaint and treatment regimen also noted in medical records of her treatment Dean Ziegler sent to me himself. I had posted on her Facebook wishes for a speedy recovery. Although I didn't use this chiropractors name in the post, Dr Dean Ziegler thought he would try to sue me at our local magistrate for $11,999.99. He tried to say I violated HIPPA laws for the post and defamed him. He obviously doesn't know HIPPA laws because private citizens are not held to HIPPA laws and she told me about he pain herself. The case was dismissed. She also stopped going to this provider. ...read more

After searching for a psychiatrist for weeks with the help of my insurance company, I was able to make an appointment with Dr. Khan. I got to my appointment early but he was too busy redecorating his office and assisted me half an hour after I arrived with was at 8:40 am and he finally told me to sit in his office at 9:10am. That however, was not the issue. He asked me my age, marital status, nationality and work status. As soon as I informed him I was employed but on short term disability from work because of my condition, he cut me off and said he could not treat me. He said he does not treat people who are on disability because he doesn't want the hassle of having to fill out paperwork for Liberty Mutual on my health status. He said he does not get paid for filling out paperwork and his secretary only works part time. At no point whatsoever did he ask what my condition was, what I needed help for or how I felt. Upon hearing he was refusing to treat me I broke down crying. Dr. Khan handed me a tissue box, stood up and opened the door for me to leave. My mother and brother who were waiting for me outside asked me what happened so I began to explain. All of a sudden, Dr. Mohammad Khan stepped out and told us if we wanted to have a conversation we could do so outside. He also stated he wouldn't charge me for the visit, however I received no help, had to travel 25 minutes to see him and was treated like an absolute worthless dog. He was cruel, cold and more concerned about his money and convenience than anything else. DO NOT see this "doctor," he does not care for his patients in the least bit! ...read more
