Haleh Milani is one of the worst doctors I’ve ever seen, and I do not recommend her to anyone. My annual primary care appointment was an extremely disappointing and uncomfortable experience from start to finish. Throughout the visit, she repeatedly dismissed my concerns and made me feel ashamed for advocating for myself. I explained multiple times that I needed to sit up for blood draws due to anxiety, yet she continued to insist that I lie down, ignoring my repeated requests and escalating my stress rather than reducing it.
When I tried to discuss a recurring medical issue, she brushed it off without any meaningful evaluation and immediately jumped to assumptions that were both inaccurate and completely inappropriate. She did not ask about or refer to my medical history, despite the fact that I’ve been a patient at this practice for six years. She also remarked that a necessary swab test was “just as bad for her,” which was unprofessional and unnecessary.
She then concluded, without asking further questions or exploring symptoms, that I “just have IBS” and that “nothing can be done.” She mentioned that my thyroid seemed enlarged, but then suggested zero follow up for it, even knowing about my family history of thyroid disease and accompanying symptoms I have that align with this.
I left the appointment feeling judged and without any real answers or suggestions for the issues I came in to address. I would not recommend this doctor. I'm shocked by these other reviews, because that was not my experience.
Everyone at this office was very welcoming, and Dr Haleh Milani was very thorough, as well as kind throughout my annual. I also really appreciate their policy about being able to schedule a same day appointment if we need to discuss something urgent, or have an urgent health condition. I am very grateful to have her as primary, and I’d recommend this practice to anyone.
Dr Milani has been my primary Doctor for over 14 years. I started being a patient at age 38, I’m now 52 and I’m healthier than ever. Thanks to Dr Milani and her true love for her patients. Great recommendation over the years. I’ve been on a happy and healthy path for many years , Thank you Dr Milani for keeping the tradition of Caring Doctors alive. Central Park West staff big ups.
Much appreciated
