I have been seeing Dr Bawa for a few years, every quarter for blood tests and management of my medication for blood pressure and other blood issues. I like Dr Bawa and his staff and was thankful to have found them. Why then can I not give them a positive review? Because without notice they decided to kick all existing patients out of the practice unless we agree to pay a "concierge fee". This fee is required monthly or paid once annually in lump sum. You get nothing you didn't get before it appears. I was given 5 min to decide if I would pay the fee and keep my doctor that I've seen for several years or I would lose him. Just like that...decide! No warning. No email. No voice message or text. Anyone knows how difficult it is to find doctors in this area. Dr Bawa is well aware too, in fact he is counting on it. Sign up or else you lose a doctor and lose access to medications that keep you alive. So much for the Hippocratic Oath! Instead it appears the new oath is to the dollar. There are many ways to make decisions and let's be honest, it is entirely his right to take the practice in any direction. My issue is how he is treating long time patients who require medicines to live. No notice. No empathy. No time to find another doctor. So sadly I cannot argue in support of Dr Bawa.
The staff is rude and scheduling is nearly impossible. They will only communicate via text when they feel like responding. The medical team is friendly and helpful once one finally gets an appointment.
The staff at this office are very unprofessional. They will only communicate via text. Once patients are finally scheduled for appointments, the wait to see a medical professional is often longer than 30 minutes. They will not allow for standing appointments for regular office visits. When selecting elective medical care, I would recommend looking elsewhere.The medical team is professional, helpful and easy to communicate with...if you're able to book an appointment.
