Dr. Syma Iqbal, MD

Can’t believe we still went to her after seeing all her terrible reviews ? In this specialty you MUST have compassion and kindness since wins in oncology are rare. She was and is and always will be cold , distant , and her intelligence and knowledge is lackluster. Please go to cedars or ucla instead. USC Norris is a joke. Looks like a museum in there.

You told my wife 1 month to start new clinical trial it took 4 months ,she suffered and passed away.You should of helped her.

Save yourself and do not seek treatment with this doctor. She is a ruthless and careless provider with no bedside manner. My father was taken to the ICU multiple times the same day he was given the chemotherapy dr.iqbal prescribed. She never came to see him during the weeks he spent in the ICU. She continued to prescribe the same chemotherapy drugs and insisted the reason he almost died the same days as his infusions is because he was experiencing sepsis. After a few months of her insisting he had an infection and enough antibiotics for an elephant, she finally listened to what we had been saying the whole time. We even had to send her peer reviewed journal articles about the chemotherapy drug causing anaphylaxis in few cases. He was severely allergic to the chemo drugs she was giving him. She never reached out to him to follow up with him in her office after he was discharged from the ICU and never came to see him in the ICU. Finally after it was established that it was not an infect

She neglects her patients.

Cold doctor who only cares about building her name.
