I never got to meet Dr. Pothiawala at all and this review is for her practice. I had scheduled a dermatology appt w/ Dr. Pothiawala at Bethany Medical Clinic on 11/17. I received a confirmation email about my appt. I show up at the location to be told that Dr. Pothiawala wasnt in and that i would be seeing a PA for a primary care appt because Dr. Pothiawala didn't work out of this office? When I said i was there for a derm appt, the aide asked if I had made that clear when i made the appt which didn't make sense since I made an appt with a dermatologist to start with. Long story short, I kept the appt w/ a physician asst since i couldn't reschedule and come back on another day and the PA scheduled me for a virtual appt w/ a nurse practioner Layla Elsokari who specializes in dermatology for the following week (11/22). She said that i would receive a link to call in for my virtual appt. Again, I get an email confirming my appt the day before my appt. I even texted to their portal the day before to confirm my virtual appt and that I will look for a link to call in and I did not get any response letting me know that Layla would not be working. The morning of my appt, i had not received a link yet so i call the # they provided. The receptionist said she would send me the link once she confirmed the appt? ( again, I had a confirmation email letting me know that i was scheduled?). She said she had to confirm because she thought the nurse practitioner was not working until December which confused me - why would they have scheduled me if she wasn't working? I had not received the link nor a call so i called back to be told that she had not heard back from the office and that she was told that Layla was not in until December. The receptionist also offered an appointment for a primary care visit which is not what I needed. I asked her if i could speak to someone in the office and she transferred me right to a voicemail box. I left a message but I don't expect that they'll follow up. I've never had such a terrible experience with a doctor's office and I would never recommend this practice to anyone! Buyer beware!
