Dr. Alaidden Taher is absolutely the worst Doctor ...

Dr. Alaidden Taher is absolutely the worst Doctor there, and he is going to get someone killed with the way he practices medicine. He prescribed a medication (Isosorbide) that made my Dad black out and wreck his van during the summer of 2018 along with double the lasix that he was taking along with mega doses of potassium. He also stated that the new drug Entresto was the best medication for his congestive heart failure. His heart function has gone from 30% range to 50% range since he started taking it. Within 2 weeks, my Dad had become so dehydrated from the lasix that he damn near died. Dr. Taher told my niece that he overmedicated my Dad (ya think), and also changed his meds without even consulting the family. Dr. Taher took my Dad off of the Entresto, and said that it was not a good medication for him. It is the only medication that has made his heart function gain over 20% within 3 months time. He also cut his lasix back down to where it should be, and as needed. When I confronted this Dr. Taher about the Entresto telling him that my Dad needed it, Dr. Taher told me to not ever bring my Dad back to that hospital. What kind of an idiot Dr. first overmedicates a patient, changes life saving meds, and then tells the family that the patient is no longer welcome in the Emergency Department after all of the problems the patient was having was caused by his own incompetance. Dr. Taher!!!
