Reviews of Ijaz Mohammad S Dr Neurologist in Regina

i’ve been seeing ijaz for 2 years for IIH. it’s not a well known disease and i can tell he doesn’t know much about it. i’ve learned more reading papers and documents i can access through being a student at the U of R and finding other people who have this and am on the same medication as me than i have through our conversations.

i told him about side effects i’m having (meat intolerance - leading me to happily become a vegetarian, lack of fluid in my body, bones cracking that NEVER crack, etc.). diamox is not a friendly drug and all he told me was to watch out for tingling hands and feet. didn’t seem to tell me about liver diseases, kidney stones, and a list as long as a scroll out of a movie. he says diamox is the only treatment and says i’ll need surgery if it doesn’t work (not true, there’s other medications and methods, not just a shunt). i don’t appreciate that as it can easily scare someone. i panicked after my diagnosis for a good 2 months because of my experience and lack of knowledge from ijaz.

not only does he seem to not listen to me, he also criticized me for being a vegetarian (not enough nutrients, lol) and for not wanting children at 27 years old (i’m poor and don’t want the added stress - not to mention he knows i’m mentally ill and have adhd). he said “god can do amazing things” when i said no to children and i’m not religious so that also irked me. basically - he says things that have NOTHING to do with my brain, neurology, or health. we talk more about this stuff than IIH and potential vision loss.

his receptionist is also rude, doesn’t care, doesn’t answer the phone, and takes forever to get your medication to the pharmacy.

worst experience i’ve ever had with doctors, especially someone who is specialized.
