Rabia Bajwa's Online Review Report Card

I myself have worked with many providers as I am in the medical field. Never have I ever met anyone so ignorant, mouthy or disrespectful. She told me my PCP basically didn’t know what they were doing when they sent me to her. She was very rude to my 3 year old, yes you read that right, my 3 year old son. She told me I’m obese and need to seek mental help rather than test me for a sleep disorder. I’ve worked behavioral health, I would think my coworkers would talk to me if that was an issue, I gave her no reason to jump to that. She pointed at my son when she walked into the room calling him a germ and never introduced herself. She was going to order an overnight test if I was “competent enough to do it correctly”, only to satisfy my PCP. The ladies out front knew what happened and apologized several times. My family and I have tried reaching out to all levels even as high as the CEO of IRMC whom all are scattered like mice and send us to someone new every encounter of a call we have.

Would leave zero if I could. She is a horrendous woman and should not be allowed to practice. Very DISRESPECTFUL.

Very rude. Didn’t give me 2 seconds to speak. Was very disrespectful to my child and myself. Downgraded my PCP. Very unprofessional.

Great experience with the medical staff and with Dr. Bajwa. Very professional and thorough. Took the time to explain my condition, answered all of my questions and I didn't feel rushed. Highly recommended.

I was actually pleasantly surprised when I visited Dr. Rabia. Her staff was pleasant and my wait time was short. I was told to be early for paperwork and I was. My paperwork did not reach me in time. Dr.Rabia is direct, honest, and to the point. As a physician her job is to find and treat your issue. I appreciated her honesty and knowledge. I was sent home with a sleep study to try to figure out the problem quickly and to avoid a long overnight stay in the clinic.

This doctor has a very bad attitude and is very rude. We never got any papers to fill out and that she said that she had another person to see next and when we went out there was no one there waiting to be seen. If there was another doctor in the area to see my son I would have taken him to them. My son suffers from austim and that's why I went in with him so if he had any problems answering any questions then I could help him out. I would give her a 0 out of 5. Don't go to Dr. Bajwa Rabia.

I’ve had good experiences up until the past 1.5 months. I called her office to get her opinion on sleep meds for myself because she took me off of my meds that my PCP prescribed. I also wanted to ask her questions about my husband’s sleep issues after going on the machine. His restless leg symptom has become so severe he’s kicking and punching and I’m the receiver of it. These aren’t just little taps they are full blown punches. This tells me he’s not getting enough oxygen or maybe too much. The receptionist thought it was funny that I got punched but said she’d send a note to the doctor. I received a call from the receptionist to let me know that the doctor ordered blood work for iron and that if I want on sleep meds to make an appt even though I was just there. We went for my husband’s blood work. I checked the patient portal to get a quicker response. He was on the low side of the recommended levels but being 60 I thought it wouldn’t hurt to get him on something but figured I’d call back to the doctor. Again, she said she would have the doctor look at the results if she hadn’t already. So the receptionist called back and said no he doesn’t need on anything as per the doctor. I said ok but what is going to be done about the kicking and punching in his sleep? The receptionists said well he needs an appt which she made for two weeks later. I went with my husband and due to covid they refused to let me in to ask questions nor would she come out. I said any other doctor Indiana has let me in in the past 3 or 4 months. Meanwhile, the nurse is rolling her eyes and being confrontational at the door. I tried to explain to her the Dr. won’t even talk to me on the phone. She says well she’s not going to talk with you almost like I wasn’t worthy of speaking with her. I went and had a seat in the waiting room like a scolded child (so that’s how I felt). The receptionist rudely said we are only doing what we’re told. After my husband’s appt, he said the doctor was really mad and rude to him because I raised a fuss about coming in and basically told him she’s too busy to talk w me. I said who cares we are the patient and should be able to ask questions. I thought that’s okay I will call the patient advocate line which I did and spoke w Brett. He said you absolutely should be permitted in and that he was sorry for how we were treated. She put my husband on sleep meds for RLS and to help sleep and was told to use the machine. All I can say is if something happens to my husband due to her ignorance and incompetency, she will be fighting a law suit!

Dr. Bajwa was the rudest doctor I have ever been to. I had been referred to the sleep clinic by two of my doctors. I did not just decide to go on my own. She entered the room with a terrible disposition and it just got worse from there. She barely even allowed me to speak. I went home called a patient advocate and cancelled my sleep study. She basically told me in the office that she doubted that I had any problems so why waste my time doing a sleep study. Just because you went to medical school and wear fancy clothing doesn't mean you have the bedside manner to be a doctor. She is not someone who should represent IRMC.

I have always had good interactions with DR. Rabia. She is intelligent and Caring and asks good questions and answers mine. Larry from Indiana
