Dr. Heeran Abawi

"Rude, unprofessional, combative and argumentative! I could go on for days. She does what I like to call “drive by”, 5-10 minute appointments that are anything but thorough. It’s repulsive. She’s a cash cow, seeing as many people as possible in one day forgetting there is a human being on the other end. I hope you don’t have a valid question to ask her because it will be met with hostility and she will instantly make you regret scheduling an appointment with her. She put a medication down erroneously as one I was allergic to when I told her numerous times I was not. Then became irate when I reminded her a few appointments later that she in fact put that on my allergy list incorrectly. On another occasion, I asked her if she could recommend a reputable brand of vitamins. She responded in her typical snarky tone, “there’s an entire aisle at the grocery store.” Thank you captain obvious! I had to remind her that vitamins are not FDA approved/regulated therefore they are not all created equal. As a doctor, you’d assume she would know this, but it was apparent she was not as educated as I would have imagined. I had to do my own research to determine what would be best since she could not supply information being asked. Funny, my GI doctor recommended very specific vitamins brands, but she was just snotty and combative per the usual. On the last appointment she tried to explain why there was a shortage of saxenda. I explained to her that I was aware. That a saxenda rep themselves told me that it wouldn’t be available until well into 2024. She then proceeded to tell me I could continue on saxenda…. A drug that isn’t available due to shortages from the company. Why do I want to continue to be on a medication and see her for a medication that isn’t available on the market due to a world wide shortage? I then asked to be switched to a different medication of which she was once again argumentative about. I ended up rolling my eyes and saying, “just yikes”. She’s atrocious. That’s the absolute nicest thing I can say about this “doctor.” Abawi is by far the worst doctor I’ve ever encountered in my life and should have her career choice reevaluated. Working with people is not for everyone, and certainly not for her. TriHealth in Anderson offers the same services she does and they are thorough, professional and kind. I’m happy I switched to such a caring practice."
