How it works
- Our highly-trained Review Moderation team evaluates all reviews before they're published to ensure they're written by people like you and not a member of a doctor's office.
- This multi-step process takes up to 24 hours from review submission to publication.
- Doctors can't pay to have reviews removed or hidden.
- Reviews are only removed at the reviewer's request or if they violate our Terms of Service.
If you have questions or believe we should re-evaluate a published review, let us know.

Long road to Ghurani
Where do I begin? Well, I have researched for a very long time and somehow settled on Dr. Ghurani. He seemed to be a happy medium between overpriced/over the top doctors and cheap/dangerous doctors. When I selected Dr. Ghurani he didn't have any deaths. The whole situation with Miami doctors not having malpractice insurance scared me at first but then i sort of convinced myself that this is a risk anyway and he had not had any casualties.
So I chose my doctor. Now, the doctor is one thing and the facility is another. I can't even get into how stressed out I have been with planning my surgery and dealing with all the bumps on the road - and trying to contact Spectrum staff. It was just unacceptable to me. I am a professional in a demanding field and usually busy throughout the entire day but if I can make time to call, email, text or message them I should be able to speak to SOMEONE. It shouldn't take IG messaging on the regular and ridiculous amounts of phone calls/emails for preop questions. I am hoping when I do get there its not crazy because I really don't need any more of the stress. Putting my life on the line is enough. If i knew in the beginning that Ghurani had his own practice I would have went with them. Now i blame myself because with the amount of searching I did I should have noticed this. All you really need to do is google him. But I honestly just tied Ghurani to Spectrum and didn't take the time to dig into it. I did manage to reach Ghurani through IG and ask him general preop questions (he responded more than the coordinator), but the some advice was inconsistent and of course I followed the doctors advice.
Moving on - recovery house. Now this is the straw that broke the camels back for me prompting this very long post. I was so stressed with Spectrum staff and worrying about deaths but manage to continuously talk myself out of it because I reminded myself that I made this choice and it is something I have wanted for a very long time, the recovery house was literally the only stable thing. I was going to be staying at miami recovery house in a private room for a really good price - it came to about $145/night. It included supplies as well. And then TODAY literally 6 days before my surgery when they called and told me they were shut down due to licensing issues. I contacted the recovery house a couple of times just to verify if they would be ok with all the raids going on and they assured me they were good. Again, my fault for taking their word for it. I know how to do research...smh
Anyway, now I am booked with assistance for life for only 2 nights and 3 days. Then i have to figure out where to go...maybe a recovery house or maybe a hotel. But I really dont want to stay alone even though I was told by karla I should be alright after that. I really didn't want to worry about these things.
Rant over.
