Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

My me time!
Dr. Bawa is wonderful at performing aesthetic procedures! He takes his time to explain everything and has the knowledge required to determine if a procedure will work for you. He and his staff are also very friendly and inviting!! I love going here!

Amazing doctor!!
Dr. Bawa and his staff are amazing. They are so knowledgeable about general medicine. They also have great expertise and artistic talent in aesthetics. They are super responsive, and knowledgeable. If I have an urgent need they pencil me in as soon as possible. They will find an answer to your problem-whether medical or aesthetic. I highly recommend this doctor and his staff.

Neighborhood Gem!
If you’ve struggled with complicated health issues, my recommendation would be to see Dr. Bawa, first. Don’t overlook this efficient and effective local office. You may save yourself the trip to the teaching hospitals. If restoring health is your goal, go see Dr. Bawa and Staff, first. I’ll bet he’ll be a great collaborator and resource for you!

I don't even know how this man still has a license. He will sell you anything to make $$. When I went in for a physical, he completely rushed me and made a comment about how I was taking too much time and it had not even been 10 minutes. One of my complaints was about back pain that had lasted 8 months. He told me lose weight. When I went to see a special that actually took the time to order an MRI I found that I had a gigantic herniated disc that I needed surgery for. I stopped seeing this "dr" and a year later I received a bill for a large lump sum that I disputed with my insurance. Two weeks later I received a call from the office apologizing for the issue. Yeah the issue is that this office probably falsely puts in claims. I was also not told about their $25 charge upfront to draw my blood.

Worst experience possible
I have been a patient of Dr. Bawa, over 10 years. I am healthy and generally only go in for my annual wellness visit. Other than the fact that I saw a different PA every time, I never really had any problems... Until this past year when I was diagnosed with cancer. The level of rudeness and incompetence and complete lack of concern I have encountered is since then is overwhelming. When I was finally able to speak to Dr. Bawa personally, he told me my care was not his responsibility. So I promptly fired him. Then they have the nerve to send me a bill over a year later for the office visit that started the whole fiasco of me never getting the tests I needed for my oncologist. It is really awful to be dealing with a life threatening illness and have to be treated the way I was treated by the Dr and his staff.

I've been a patient of Dr Bawa and Assoc, for a few years now but in the past year the level of service has dropped considerably. I contracted the Covid Delta variant back in June and contacted the office after I tested positive. I left a total of 7 messages over 3 1/2 weeks almost begging for a return call. Only after that time I received a call 1 day to have the nurse call in several items to help me along. Only I was beginning to get better at that time on my own after having weathered the storm naturally. Even now into Sept I cannot get messages through if I need something. Or should I say I rarely get a call back to let me know it was received, or my issues were being dealt with. If I am in medical need, I have to just suffer through it until I can get into the office which is never right away. I feel there should be some concern, at least a level of care, that addresses the needs of the patient sooner than 3 days to a week after or sometimes not at all. I hope for a better review
