"Another Doctor and staff that do not either understand or care that they are supposed to help people and not make life more difficult than it already is. I hope that it’s the understanding part. We arrived for a 12:30 appointment(first one)in the Freehold office 10 minutes early. At 1:05 we inquired about the time because no one was being called in. The receptionist informed us that the Dr. was not even in the building yet , and she seemed to revel in our disappointment while smirking. Another patient waiting said that this was SOP for this office. We left and saw the Dr. rushing in from the lot and asked if he was Dr. Z. Without breaking stride he said yes and continued to walk briskly past us while I was pushing my wife in a wheelchair to catch up. After he blew through the entrance, I realized that he was not the Dr. or service that we would want and left. From my extensive experience with the medical system in the last two years, there are two types of Doctors out there; those that ...
care about patients(the smallest group), and those that care about warm bodies and bank accounts. Dr Z and his staff are part of the latter "

"This man is a psychiatrist doctor first. He leads with this. **Please if you are BLACK, with epilepsy stay away. This man changed they way we view the health care system forever.*** This man is a psychiatrist doctor first. Google for yourself. I couldn't understand why each visit seemed more like him just listening as if he's a therapist. This was my first impression of him on our first visit....Like hmmm why did that seem like, we just left a psychotherapist office, looking for his next victim. We said jokingly.....It was Just like the movies He would question about all the wrong things. It was so disturbing they way he put his hands on his chin after he ask, "are you happy at home". Me the mom, am I happy at home???? He'll let you speak, in-between his interrogation, until the sun goes downs, just like the movies. He created this theory of my baby not having seizures. one visit, he even ask me was her father her biological father. FYI dad found this guy with hopes of a ...
male doctor this go round on our journey as a-family to heal our baby from seizures. Our last EEG with him he sent a women in the room who not only check my daughter for abuse but also my son who was 4/5 at the time. she said some birth marks cause epilepsy. I believed this so I complied. She said she needed to look underneath there cloths and see there bare skin. She question why they were not fat, I replied, they have there dads genes, tall and slim. Not knowing what they actually were doing to our babies.... Despite feeling like I just subjected our babies to this unforgettable act, she left the room and that was the last we seen or heard about birth marks causing epilepsy, again didnt kno their intention at time... When I told my friend about this who is who has 30+years in social work at a very prominent hospital. She informed My fiance and I, that they lied and Dr. Zaatreh and his team is looking for a reason to validated his assumptions of me and my family. Then suddenly it mad sense. I told her everything thing he did and said for the entire relation. Her exact words were, Wow he's scary aggressive, and we should report him to the board of NJ, ...... My family and I were attempting to create a team of what we thought were unbiased doctor and specialists. Surly was we wrong. Not only did we leave the practice, It gets wilder. How about we leave this guy cause clearly what he has to offer is not for us, Not only did he carrry this theroy with his entire staff, but he informed the new neurologist the same. I was unaware of this at the time. Now this new neurologist, defiantly did their du-diligence to see if he was right. The new Doctors did a 7 day video eeg. We were monitored aggressively. Fake roommates, pretending to be sick... Had me bring in her medicine claiming that the pharmacy dosent have her meds in. They took the medicine then brought it back for me to give in hospital.....O a mess. I could tell something wasn't right because they kept asking are you immune to??? .... would you say your???....How do you view your???...If you could describe your child?.... all the wrong questions.etc, etc, All of this for 7 days....for them to dismiss his claims. GOD is good. Thanks to the EEG that they could clearly see its a seizures and NOT WHAT doctor ZAATREH said Psychogenic nonepileptic seizures. He legit said she not having siezures. I just don't want him to do this to another family. It's not Okay. My child was diagnosed with seizure disorder on day 7 with the new neurologist . DR. Zaatreh I hope you see this and it opens your eyes to the way you perceive people. Not all black women are ratchet and loud, not all black dad's leave they family and gang bang. I suggest you take classes on how to deal with black patients This is why many don't trust the medical field but we thought we were doing the best we knew how at the time. This is our testament now. Stay prayed up on your journey of healing. No weapon formed aga "
