I was new to the area and went to Dr. Fauzia because of her positive reviews; my experience was anything but positive. I was finally seen over an hour and a half after my scheduled appointment. I was given no reason for the wait after the first hour, but when I was finally brought into an exam room, she asked if I wouldnt mind waiting for a little while longer so she could see another patient who needed a "quick procedure." I felt compelled to say yes. I was brought back into the exam room where I waited while she ran around splitting her attention between myself and two or three other couples. When she finally came back in, she asked if I had taken my weight, even though she had not given me any instruction to do so (usually nurses take all my stats). When she finally sat down and seemingly devoted her attention to me, she barely gave me any room to talk. I was extremely concerned about the pap I had come in for, but I didnt feel as though I was able to communicate that to her. Instead she asked about my boyfriend and my mother, and lectured me about understanding my moms actions when I became a mother myself). She didnt ask me to remove my clothing and just expected me to strip down in front of her (I appreciate the courtesy when other practitioners leave the room while I get undressed). I had come in for a full exam but she barely checked my pelvis and breasts. Behavior while I was in the stirrups. I was mid-sentence about my concerns when her phone rang. Instead of-ignoring it or excusing herself, she just left and took the call. She came back in and resumed her "exam." Most doctors ask if Im sexually active and monogamous. Dr. Fauzia asked me point blank how many partners Id had in my entire life. She also suggested that I missed my parents and would move back home (I told her I had just moved out of their house and was living with my boyfriend). THE EXAM. She deposited the speculum without any warning and whipped out her phone to take pictures of my cervix--WHO THE HELL DOES THAT?!?! She didnt ask if it was okay by me (it wasnt) and she didnt change her gloves while she handled her phone. I dont consider myself a germophobe, but for the love of God, it was absolutely unacceptable. After the actual pap was over, she took this device, rolled a condom on it, and stuck it inside me WITHOUT TELLING ME WHAT SHE WAS DOING AND WHAT IT WAS FOR. I HAD TO ASK. Again, maybe Im a brat, but in my experience, doctors are always sensitive and let me know what/when/why they are doing something to my body. I felt extremely uncomfortable. Next was how she handled herself after the exam. She removed her glove, set it on the scale I/WHOMEVER ELSE HAD STOOD ON THAT DAY, and PLACED THE SPECULUM ON TOP OF HER USED GLOVE. This was ABSOLUTELY UNACCEPTABLE to me. Had I known that that was how she handled her instruments, I wouldve upped and left before she had a chance to bring me into an exam room. In her office, the speculum was just sitting on the table along with all her other stuff prior to the exam and, as stated earlier, on top of a used glove on a dirty scale after it. She was kind enough to give me some time to ask her questions afterward, but at that point I was going to save my questions for my other doctor. She asked me to return in two weeks to discuss the pap results "in person," and if I could, request a copy of my entire history from my other gynecologist so she could read and discuss. Spoiler alert: Id had the other office send over my records a week prior to my appointment. She didnt seem to believe me but said shed ask the receptionist (her husband) to find them. In previous experiences, the nurse/doctor is either fully aware of my history or at least has a freaking folder that contains all of my information. Dr. Fauzia clearly had not bothered to locate my records much less read them. I waited ten minutes while her husband browsed his computer, asking me to repeat multiple times the name of my doctor and misspelling it. At some point, he gave up and said he would locate it "later on."

I am a 31 year old female. I have been having an irregular menses since I was 13 years old. I am married and have had trouble conceiving. I decided to seek some professional help. I began googling OB/GYNs in my area. I came across Dr. Mutahar Fauzia. I saw she had good reviews and made an appointment. It was the best thing I could have done. Dr. Fauzia is graceful and extremely knowledgeable. She has mastered infertility/reproductive medicine. I have a crazy schedule and she fits me in when I call. I truly appreciate this. Also, her office has a great flow. I never have to wait long periods of time to be seen. Thanks to God and Dr. Fauzia I am pregnant with my first child. She is really caring and supportive. She has been a voice of reason for me as I am in the medical field and sometimes think of the worse outcomes. For example, I went in for an ultrasound at about 6 week gestation. We did not see a baby or yolk sac. I was worried about a blighted ovum but the doctor had so much faith. She told me not to worry and to come back in about a week. I did and on my repeat US there was a baby measuring 8 weeks with a good heartbeat. I highly recommend her to anyone struggling with infertility or just seeking a great OB/GYN!

I have never seen such a kindhearted doctor in my life. She is very experienced and has great knowledge in her field. She always answered to my questions very patiently and politely. She treated me like her daughter. One good thing about her was she always answered my calls no matter what time of the day it was, because she considered the fact that anything in this condition is unpredictable and can occur any time. I remember the last day of my pregnancy when I felt like it was my delivery time, I called her and explained her everything. It was the day when her clinic was off. She didnt only listen to me on call very patiently but also managed to come to the clinic especially for me which I can never ever forget and it is very very appreciable, I dont think some other doctor would have done this for her patient. I am really very thankful to her for this kindness. Her husband is also a very nice and helping person and gave best advices and options regarding choosing my medicinces. I would highly highly recommend her to anyone.
