Dr. Ahluwalia is one of the rudest physicians I have ever visited, my first visit I waited 1.5hrs in the exam room for her to come in, spend 3 minutes w/ me which consisted of checking boxes in the computer, no physical exam done (even though I was there d/t finding nodules on my thyroid), no eye contact, she interrupted me every time I started to describe my symptoms to get her boxes of listed symptoms checked off, & she brought a medical student in with her- never introduced her- until I finally asked "Who are you?" (I don't mind students, but don't bring someone else into the room where I am giving my personal info & not introduce them). My second visit was a repeat of the first, she gave me the results of my ultrasound- I asked for a written copy of the report- it did not match what she had told me. This time she brought an NP in w/ her, never introduced her again until I asked, again no exam. She never even ordered a thyroid panel with my labs, just a TSH- you can't tell anything from that alone. I was then scheduled for a fine needle aspiration. I went to the appointment & they said they had to cancel it because the nodules weren't big enough, they said they called her office to notify her & spoke w/ her MA Jessica- yet her MA never called me to let me know the test was cancelled, so I missed a day of work, took PTO, drove an hour to the appointment for nothing- just in time to drive home in rush hour. I had to rearrange a lot for that appointment. Then when I called the Jessica to find out why no one had let me know the test was cancelled she interrupted & started yelling at me & was extremely unprofessional. I had to then call the office manager to complain- which I'm sure did not good & was probably a waste of my time. I am a nurse & it drives me insane when doctors, medical assistants, & even other nurses don't realize that they are in the customer service business. Sure we are healthcare workers but in the end we are providing a service to customers & our patients deserve good service & for their provider to listen & address their concerns & symptoms. I STRONGLY urge you to find a different practice, this doctor & her staff do not care about what they do, how they treat patients, or whether your time is wasted- the first visit, while I sat in the exam room for 1.5hrs, I listened to her go in & out of about 7-8 rooms, do you know how much she is charging for those 3 minutes she is spending w/ each patient? That is all they care about. Do not waste your time with this practice, you are not really even treated as a human.๐Ÿ‘Ž

Prepare to wait for hours and for it to be crowded and noisy

I so hate this office. All the negative stuff people have said is spot-on. We gave them a chance because we were referred and others thought they did a good job. I do not care if they are good (not that Ive been able to determine that) because I refuse to sit and wait 2 hours to see someone who purposefully triple books themselves. I was booking a follow up but when I got there I had to see the PA Marcus. He is a fast talking arrogant piece of work too. Apparently Dr Seema doesn't come in until 930 am but we weren't told that when we booked an 0800. They do not answer their phones they do not return calls they do not call with results. They messed up orders, and take forever to get in to see even when Im going in to see if I have cancer. This office is horrible and now that we are done with the whole mess we will never go back and will try to keep others from the same experience. I don't know who they think they are treating people that way.

What put me at ease was the fact that their office equipment was in good shape. Everything was current and taken care of. They answered most of my questions but I could have used more information. I got an appointment quickly. I've never had to wait too long to get an appointment. However, they are ALWAYS running late in that office. I waited 2 hours and had to threaten to leave in order to be seen. My appointment was rushed because I needed to leave to pick up my child from school. I thought that if I got them right after lunch I'd have plenty of time, but it was absolutely ridiculous how long I had to wait. It was discourteous to me and all of the other people in the lobby - which is small and was packed full. People were standing while they waited for hours. They didn't help me as much as I was hoping and didn't answer all my questions. I did like Dr. Ahluwalia, though, and am hopeful she will be able to help me get better. But, they will have to impress me a little bit more before I start giving out even a "fair" recommendation. They have been about average so far.
