Maneesh Bawa, M.D.

Professional, kind, so knowledgeable and compassionate.

Great

Very pleasant and knowledgeable. Would recommend him. 😊

Waited 2 hours and the doctor didn’t even see me. This is after waiting 4 months for an MRI to be scheduled because the authorizations woman is completely incompetent.

Dr. Bawa has been both my husband’s and my back surgeon and he is excellent! Very knowledgeable, yet conservative in approach, Dr. Bawa takes his time and considers all available options, which he reviews with the patient, before proceeding with a plan of action. I would highly recommend him as an orthopaedic surgeon.

Highly recommend Dr. Bawa should you need to have neck surgery!

His knowledge and conservative approach to medical care are important.

When Dr. Bawa talked with me today, I left feeling that he had a plan, and would continue to support me until that darn left leg of mine was free of pain and I had my strength return to my leg!!

Professional, prompt and courteous.

Dr. Bawa came highly recommended . I chose him for a second medical option. He listens very well and is very thorough in his review . I was pleased with his assessment of my back related rehabilitation progress.

Very good

I've only seen Dr. BAWA once. He was thorough and answered and/or addressed all my questions and concerns.

Answered all my questions and took time to evaluate my medical issue.

Excellent- time and attention we’re exceptional.

I really didn't feel that this Dr listen to my concerns. I'm have been in pain for a number of years and he did not want to pursue any testing and just did an x-ray. I don't think you can tell what's going on with my neck without further testing.

Dr. Bawa is an excellent surgeon .

great doctor. 3 months since surgery and Dr Bawa is helping me through some minor issues

Dr. Bawa is s brilliant and caring young spinal surgeon. I knew I was in excellent hands throughout my surgery. Thank you, Dr. Bawa.

Dr. Bawa is professional and kind. He took the time to answer my questions completely and discussed some available treatments for lower back pain. I recommend his service to anyone.

Dr Bawa has been my orthopedic doctor for 12 years One of the best doctors and surgeon a person with serious orthopedic problems could ever want. He listens and is very compassionate.

I didn't see Dr. Bawa, saw his PA. She was super friendly & really helped me with the problem I'm experiencing. It's essentially a work in progress.

Everyone are so professional and kind.

Actually didn't see him this visit.

Better than excellent

I didn't see Dr. Bawa. I met with his PA and discussed the results of my annual X-ray with her so I really can't give a rating to Dr. Bawa.....

Zero! He yanked on my arm that hurts like a heart attack and pushed my injured neck back and forth while I moaned in pain. He asked me to bend over and touch my toes and I told him my lumbar had a bulging disc and was told whatever you do don’t bend down and touch your toes or the disc may slip out. I could barely drive home I still am in excruciating pain! He should be disbarred! He sent me to a doctor to get an epidural so I could sleep and no answer at 3:00. He took X-rays of my neck injury that disabled me causing me to retire early teaching in Poway. When he read the results to me he said something about the titanium screws holding C- 5 C-6 together and said something about the screws and a tear not to mention a new bulge somewhere and when I asked him to explain this injury I’ve had for 18 years he said I don’t have time there are other patients to be seen! I will get the findings on Monday but epidural doc never returned my call and now my pain is going to keep me awake all nigh

Excellent medical group.

Saw P.A. 2day & she was excellent. Very thorough explaining everything.

Excellent Doctor, listens and always concerned

Dr Bawa is a great surgeon & friendly person of hi integrity. So happy to have him caring for me for the last 5+ years!

Always lks

I was fortunately a new customer. Long story short I received the diagnosis of my broken ankle late on a Friday called Dr. Bawa and they got me right in for temporary cast pending surgery the following Wed. Staff super friendly and Dr Bawa got me back on my feet in two months after repairing three breaks with a plate and screws. Can’t imagine the entire process going any better. Chris

Doctor Bawa took time listening to my concerns regarding my continual back problems and demonstrated a genuine concern for my welfare. He treated me like a person and not a number.

Listened and heard me.

My appt was scheduled with Dr Bawa at 2:20pm. I waited till about 3:15p until PA Colleen greeted me in the room and began the assessment. She was wonderful and apologetic for the wait. After her thorough assessment, she left and said Dr Bawa will be in shortly. 10-15 mins. pass and she returns to complete my appt. Spending over one hour waiting and Dr Bawa never coming in to see me is mind boggling. Thank you PA Colleen for taking care of me.

He’s always been cordial,efficient,knowledgeable,and concise. Thx’s Doc!!

Muy buen DOCTOR

The best in so many ways.

Dr. Bawa is caring, professional, I would recommend every patient who suffering in pain from injuries and problem back, neck.

Dr Bawa and his entire staff is absolutely outstanding. Dr Bawa takes his time with me and answers all of my questions. He’s a very caring doctor

Dr.Bawa has been a excellent replacement for Dr.Dodge which I had been a patient for 15 years.i don’t know him that well yet but from what I do know is he is great.Taking care of me is no easy task as I’ve had numerous surgeries but so far I love what he’s doing with me.His staff is excellent and kind and very patient which is a big thing with me,Him and his staff take there time listening to all my concerns and I know Dr.Bawa is going to be a great fit for me Thank you to the Doctor and his staff they are the best in the business

Dr. Bawa was polite and professional! He throughly explained my exam process and diagnosis.

He covered everything and took the time to explain. He works for a very good practice that I have used for years. Highly recommended.

Dr. Bawa is a fine doctor. I recommend him to anyone who is suffering back pain. He is great!

On time and attentive.

I saw Colleen his PA

I do not have any comments

Knows his stuff, but could volunteer more information and alternatives. I would like it if he had asked, "How bad is your pain?", explained what he thought was causing the problem, and offered a couple of solutions. I had to fish it out of him. When asked, however, he did give me good answers and alternatives. I just felt like I had to be my own doctor -- but maybe that's good patient - doctor interaction. I have full confidence in him.

Very nice man.

as always excellent in evry way

To be honest I am comparing him to Dr. Dodge who I saw for about 20 years. He seems indifferent, has already passed me off to his PA and didn't offer any real solutions.

Everything was good.

Absolutely no complaints everyone was very professional

Good solid doctor.

Dr Bawa answers all questions you ask Explains all you want to know Funny friendly professional

Didn't see the Doctor and was passed on to the Physician Assistant. I guess I wasn't that important anymore.

He is very polite and personal you feel that you are not just a number and that he cares. He takes the time to explain what is happening with you.

Great easy going doctor Explained everything perfectly

I have the highest confidence in Dr. Bawa's knowledge and competence. He performed surgery on my spine in the past so I knew I would be in good hands at my recent appointment.

L4/L5 interbody fusion completed by Dr Bawa. I interviewed 2 other surgeons and chose him because he listened, explained and spent more time with me to determine the correct path forward. I also appreciate his conservative approach. Another doctor recommended additional procedures, but Dr. Bawa determined it was better (less risk) to do less, even if there is a possibility of needing additional work later. The staff is good, the doctor is punctual. 2 weeks out from surgery, but so far I believe I made the right choice for my surgeon.

Never saw him, just pa. PA was very good.

Excelente explanation to my questions and problems

Great physician

I saw the the PA.. she is outstanding.. great bedside manner.. very nice and informative…

He was very thorough and spent a good amount of time with me explaining my situation, which I appreciated. He gave me relief on my back pain which I truly appreciated.

He listends and explains things in a clear way.

He is a fine Doctor, listens and tries everything to help before you have a surgery.

Great attitude, personable, very attentive.

Dr. Bawa and his team are thorough and kind. Easy to work with.

Thank you

I am very pleased with the care being provided by Dr. Bawa, Kim, physicians, and other staff at the San Diego Orthopaedic Associates Medical Group.

Top drawer among professionals

Went to Dr. Bawa for a second opinion on surgery. He was straight forward and helpful.

Caring, professional, committed to patient, kind, good listener

Dr. Bawa and his staff are professional and friendly. He listen to my problems and made recommendations for treatment.

This Doctor has been great. He listens takes time and explains. My only complaint is workman’s comp is really not caring for very injured person fair. With authorization. and scheduling the right kind of care.

Never rushes the interview. Answers all questions. Very thorough and offers multiple choices for treatment.

Good.

Excellent bedside manner

he is the best

Dr. Bawa is very thorough. He explained the procedure and answered all the questions I had.

Took his time, answered all my questions and made me feel safe!

As far as Dr. Bawa goes he’s my Workman’s Comp., Doctor currently under his care. Only time will tell if my current injuries will heal with his help.

Dr Bawa is professional, calming and very knowledgeable. Highly recommend for back injurys.

Wonderful and professional doctors who take time to listen and answer questions.

Awesome, not only the doctor but the personal are very polite

My exam was very painful & felt violent. I hurt more after my appointment than I did when I arrived. I resent having my body and arthritic joints treated this way. I didn't feel respected.

Expert in his field, and very compassionate, kind, and understanding

Dr Bawa is very efficient and cares about his patients

Doc was as always very much on time. He addressed my concerns and spelled everything out in easy terms for me to understand. Always great to see the doctors here.

Dr Bawa and his staff are so efficient and kind. They all make you so comfortable and answer all of your questions.

Great doctor pleasant manner Very helpful

My PA Kimberly is awsome,she is the best ..she was pat6,understanding of my frustration and was able to clear up any misunderstandings I may have had. She sympathized with my pain and was companionable not to mention her beautiful smile. I think other staff members can learn from her professionalism and in staying cool calm and collective.

Excellent bedside manner. This was my first visit to Dr. Bawa and I never felt rushed or hurried and I was able to ask many questions of him. He did an amazing job at explaining findings through X-rays and other diagnostic tests. Thank you Dr. Bawa.

He is a great doctor and explains everything very thoroughly !

Excellent!

Appointment went great.

Dr.Bawa, actually reads the reports and medical papers you hand him. Dr. Bawa help you deal with the horrible workman’s compensation insurance.

I seen his PA , and she was excellent very informative of my MRI and my medical options. Very professional.

Dr Bawa is a very conscientious, professional physician.

In addition to his impeccable medical credentials, Dr. Bawa is personable, kind, and dedicated to solving whatever issue brings a patient into his office. He is an excellent listener.

Dr.Bawa is caring ,understanding doctor , he explained me my condition

Appreciate the time and care.

Excellent Doctor very professional courteous friendly and listen to you.

Dr Bawa is very friendly and thorough. He explained everything and even paused for questions.

Dr.Bawa is incredibly knowledgeable and always provides a comforting and reassuring presence during my visits. I trust their expertise and appreciate their caring approach to healthcare.

Great service,no complaints

I was seen by Dr. Reno she was excellent.

Dr. Bawa is an excellent medical professional. He is thorough and very good at communicating options.

Dr. Bawa spent a lot of time with me in order to understand my symptoms so he could make an appropriate recommendation.

Dr. Bawa was very thorough, informative and supportive and made sure I got all the information I needed to make an informed decision about my surgery.

Dr. Bawa was very helpful and patient with me when I asked some important questions that needed to be answered. I look forward to seeing him again.

Dr. Bawa listen to my complaints and makes an informed decision on the best course of treatment. He is respectful and allows me to have a say in the course of treatment i will receive.

Dr. Bawa pays attention to details and follows through with helping his patients receive the best care & treatment possible.

Very thorough and answered questions

My time with him was short. He's all business, which is fine. Did not feel the warmth I did with Dr. Dodge, but I'm more concerned with having a competent doctor than the bedside manner.

Very personal, practical and was helping me avoid a surgery. Dr Bawa comes with vast knowledge on it expertise specialists.

After being a patient of Dr. Bawa’s colleague Dr. Larry Dodge for 7 years, I find Dr. Bawa incredibly out of touch with providing health Care. He is rude, lacks compassion and good bedside manner.

He is always very helpful and caring very professional. He is really amazing!

Still getting to know Dr. Bowa. Needs to be a little more personable.

I have Dr Bawa over a year I like the way he explains in different way step by step that makes me very comfortable I highly recommend him.

Dr Bawa was nice and approachable. He explained to me the X-ray results of my right knee and back .

Dr. Bawa listens and tells it like it is. We feel comfortable with his direction.

This doctor made me feel like I wasn’t in any pain and since I have been dealing with it off/on, it was no big deal, maybe it’s a communication problem but I felt like he was not understanding of my on/off again back pain The thing is I don’t want surgery, I just want my pain to not be chronic and affecting my daily ADL’s and my life. I have been doing PT, acupuncture, cupping for over 13 years and the pain has only gotten worse over years, I understand I’m older but I know I don’t have to live with constant pain.

Listened to my concerns and discussed the options for my care.

Dr Bawa and is staff are fantastic. They're very knowledgeable and helpful.

Very knowledgeable and friendly

He’s solid. Nice guy. Great doctor.

Worth the wait. Dr Bawa gives direct, easy to understand information. So glad he carefully explains options/

Great doctor. Very friendly and seems to really care about helping his patients.

Best surgeon for really explaing things and is just awesome and nice too!

Very kind& personal. Good bedside ma Or.essy go unx easy to understand , food beszide manner. I highly recommended him.

Excellent bedside manner

Muy buen Doctor

Excellent doctor, very courteous and friendly, explain things and answers questions. I feel like I'm in excellent care with him.

Kim actually saw I was very grateful for her. She listen to me and sought to make things better.

The best

Excellent in avry Way

This was my first visit with Dr. Base, he was extremely conscientious and caring. I believe that I am in good hands.

First time seeing him after Dr Dodge retired. Spent a lot of time reviewing my case. Seemed thorough and caring.

On site X-ray and able to provide a quick diagnosis.

Very good experience.

Bored. Doesn't really listen.

Saw Dr. Bawa today. He is an excellent doctor, I am very pleased with everything.

He took the time to listen to all my questions and gave me answers.

I appreciate that he's a good listener ; he offers and explains options for further treatment. I certainly respect his professionalism and appreciate his efforts with me.

As a new patient, I appreciate Dr. Bawa’s thoroughness in evaluating my medical condition. Friendly , competent staff as well.

Dr Bawa is so professional and thorough. He has helped me through my shoulder problems and has fix it. Definitely recommend him.

I will forever be grateful that Dr. Bawa came into my life at the recent crucial, vulnerable, timely point that he did. He delivered difficult information with grace and empathy. He also reached out to colleagues and five days later I was in the hospital, received a biopsy, and he performed a procedure on three lumbar vertebrae that by the eighth day resulted in the utterly remarkable disappearance of the daily pelvic storms of pain. I am certain Dr. Bawa will be doing me and many others further great good.

Rushed

Dr. Bawa is a good listener. I feel that he truly cares about me and offers possible treatments and solutions for my problems.

Appreciate him spending time to hear my problems.

Dr. Bawa knew what I needed, ordered the scans, and I was able to follow up just four days later. When results potentially looked serious, he looked me in the eye, shared his concerns, and I really felt a particular empathy, looking at each other, masked but eye to eye. He also offered one possible procedure that offered hope to reduce some of the pain and that was minimally invasive. Part of me can't wait to get that procedure and get through the couple weeks of recovery, MAYBE LESS. His knowledge and quick follow-up on orders, and communication with my PCP were obvious and reassuring! We have things to do!

Personable and knowledgeable

Good Dr.

Very professional, knowledgeable and straightforward information.

Very Thurow

He is an excellent doctor

My favorite thing about Dr. Bawa is that he is kind, he listens and provides realistic answers to my questions.Dr.Bawa is very smart and is very respectful and honest you won’t get the runaround from him, he cares for his patients and for their well-being.

Addressed all issues

Dr. Bawa is excellent. Takes the time to explain everything and answer all questions in detail. Highly recommend him!

Very straight forward which l like. Told me what tests should be done before surgery.

Dr. Bawa takes the time to listen to my questions and find you the answer

Dr Bawa was very thorough and extremely helpful with the pain I had been having for years.

He explained everything well and was very nice but I sure was in pain from what he did to me which I know had to be done to see what might be my problem!

Very good

I went to Dr. Bawa after my former orthopaedic surgeon failed to answer my questions why I was in such grave pain after an epidural. Dr. Bawa examined my MRI and found an injured disc from a fall five months ago. He also clarified my concerns of a peripheral spinal or sciatic nerve injury. He was very attentive to my complaints and concerns. I now have a better understanding of why and where the pain is coming from and a direction to go with recovery.

The best

Very happy to visit with a doctor that knows his craft, and explained to me what is going on with my neck. The last surgeon that I had seen, was setting me up for needless surgery... Thank you Dr. Bawa... I appreciate your knowledge, communication, and honesty! Tammy Smith

Very kind and thorough. Excellent physician skills and listening to my problem.

He’s the best!

Dr Bawa is extraordinary. His diagnoses are specific and his recommendations logical.

Helpful and willing to explain things!

I had worse consultation with Dr Bawa he has aditude, and does not give clear answers to my my health concerns. I do not recommend .

Very quick. Spent about 7 minutes w me

Dr. Bawa lays it out clearly, tells you your options. Gives you time to try the options and in my case surgery was necessary. Spinal fusion. He performs miracles. I have experienced absolutely no pain since the surgery 41/2 months ago.

Very thorough and professional… Thank you Dr Bawa😊

He’s the best 👍

Excellent as always. I completely trust Dr Bawa with my ortho needs. Please extend my gratitude.

Very pleasant, professional and knowledgeable. Nice experience.

Very brief and stoic. Dr. Bawa did answer my questions, and was professional, but didn't seem to have the care and compassion that would make me more comfortable and confident. Seemed too businesslike. Like so many doctors (fortunately not all) they seem to treat being a doctor more as a business, which it seems the medical industry has become. There are exceptions to this, of course.

Dr. Bawa was thorough in his evaluation & suggested several approach’s of various degrees to my concern, of which he was concise in explaining to me. I left feeling good that I had some options to consider. Office staff was equally as pleasant.

Doctor Bawa is outstanding. Very patient, informative and very willing to talk options.

Dr Maneesh Bawa is fantastic. He and his staff really care about the patients, pre and post surgery.

Excellant Dr Explains clearly is honest in his diagnosis Great personality

Felt rushed! Only had one agenda…full duty.

He has always been very kind and informative. Very knowledgeable.

I’ve been a patient of Dr. Bawa‘s since 2016 and he has been nothing but professional, knowledgeable, and reassuring, he answers all questions with answers that you can understand he takes his time, never rushes you and makes you feel like you have his total attention. He’s awesome!

Dr. Bawa is an excellent physician and orthopaedist. He listens carefully, is conservative in his approach and supportive of you as his patient every step of the way. I would highly recommend him should you be in need of an orthopaedic physician.

Great visit as usual. Thanks!

I like Dr.Maneesh he took a time to explained my problem in my back . Thank you Dr maneesh.

Great Dr, very personable.

Excellent Spinal Surgeon!! ..Dr Bawa is very Professional & Caring Surgeon that really knows his stuff, no run around here .As a Nurse myself I highly recommend him..Thank you Dr.Bawa, keep on being Awesome...A.Hernandez

Dr. Bawa is thorough and direct, something I appreciate in doctors. He's so enjoyable to work with. He's the best.

Awesome service. Thank you.

I found dr Hawaiian to be professional cordial and precise in his diagnosis and prognosis. I’d recommend him to everyone that needed his help

Very informative and

Always efficient and thorough

Dr. Bawa is a total professional. Very happy to have chosen him for my issues which he has helped me resolve.

Very informative and gives you the time to understand everything that he is explaining

Took a long time to get my referral. After the appointment it took over 30 minutes to get the referral for physical therapy written up.

Good information. Provided me the time I needed to explain my medical situation. Dr. Bawa has helped me in the past with a completely different issue, but I was happy that he was the doctor to which I was referred.

The doctor cut me off when I was trying to explain my pain, dismissed my feelings, and made me feel like my problems weren’t worth his time.

He was able to get us what we need to try to feel better. Didn’t have to wait very long for our appointment. I didn’t feel rushed to leave.

Love Dr. Bawa- surgery on my back a success .

Tremendous knowledge and care for his patients. Staff is excellent and understand what people may be going through.

He explained the diagnostic results and treatment plan clearly.

Dr. Bawa is a knowledgeable doctor and a gifted surgeon. My sciatica in my right leg is gone! Thank you Dr. bawa

Cold as dry and dried -ice, should be more personable.

I'm glad I found Dr. Bawa orthopedic needs!

He has been honest with me and treated me well. I would send any of my friends to him.

Appreciate the follow up visit with Dr Bava to review my MRI and X-rays. Using the actual pictures he explained the results and answered all questions in terms I could understand.

Dr B is a gifted skilled spinal surgeon and Physician. along with empathy and common sense. I recommend him to anyone

Dr. Bawa was nice, professional and courteous but was in and out in about 5 minutes. Thankfully, it seems that my pain issue is nothing critical.

The doctor was punctual, knowledgeable, and extremely helpful in diagnosing my problem and suggesting a couple of treatment options. I appreciated his candor and expertise. He went over my MRI images carefully and made me fully aware of my typically "octogenarian" issues. I share my primary physician's assessment that doctor Bawa is an exceptionally good orthopedist.

Best experience in a very long time from the time I checked in until the time I left the office !!!

I hope we can get my leg problem adjusted.

Timely, helpful, really goos doctor

I love how direct Dr. Bawa is.

Fantastic appointment with Dr. Bawa and his team of medical professionals. He was very thorough, listened to my concerns, answered my questions. Thank you Dr. Bawa !!!

The best,

He’s very professional, knowledgeable as well as personable. One of my favorite doctors.

Dr. Bawa is an excellent physician. He’s very knowledgeable and thorough. He is patient, takes his time, answers all of my questions, and I never feel rushed.

Dr. Bawa and his staff are excellent! They were prompt, professional and very knoweledgeable.

Great dr. He listens

Love this guy. He is the only one that will touch my back.

Dr. Bawa was not real personable but he was thorough and professional. He provided additional information regarding my scoliosis and confirmed that I was not a good candidate for surgery at my age.

He is always helpful and knowledgeable of condition

Very though

did not respond to my request for pain relief

Very efficient, polite, informative and answered all my questions.

Very professional and helpful! Been with Dr. Bawa for almost 10 years and can’t recommend him enough. He listens to his patients and does what’s best for them.

Thank you Dr. Bawa and staff for my visit today at San Diego Orthopedic Association. It was very pleasant and informative with everyone involved in proceeding with a plan of attack to hopefully diagnose my issue and fix the problem. Thanks again for all of you and for what you do to make our lives better. Michael Bogart

Good listener, very competent.

He’s personable and thorough.

Very good doctor. I recommend him.

Dr Bawa is a brilliant Doctor with much knowledge, always offering options to a situation.

Would have been 5 stars but he was an hour and a half late and I missed a meeting.

Excellent outcome and great follow up care!

I love his style. Direct and to the point. Very efficient Collects all the facts and and presents the options.

Answered all my questions regarding possible surgery

Dr Bawa and his office are great. Thx

Always professional, efficient and listens. My thanks to the doctor for his care these last couple years.

Exceptional!!

6 months after a lumbar discectomy and 95% of my symptoms have resolved. Dr. Bawa was kind, honest, and reasonable.

Didn't feel kindness or compassion. Seemed in a hurry .

He is superb

Excellent, friendly, compassionate, took his time explaining options! (Also did not have to wait long, one of my pet peeves)

Best surgeon ever.He is highly skilled Intelligent and passionate about his job.

Awesome. Friendly, warm, efficient and confident recommendations for treatment. Perfect

Dr. Bawa ,first and foremost ,does what's best for you and your situation,not what some other 'surgeon' might recommend (because that's what surgeons do.) He listens and makes sure he understands your problems & wishes are and will use everything at his disposal to help you

You will not find a better Doctor when it comes to his expertise in bones....!

I always have to wait too long. 45 min to an hour

Wish he would take time to explain things more.

He always treats me well and explains my problems to me

Efficient, professional, understanding

He is great and so is his staff

Over 30 minute wait after being roomed, very early in the morning appointment. Would have been nice if an apology had been given.

Very understanding and thoughtful. Willing to try and find a solution to my problem so I can continue to do the things I love.

Great job. Thank you

Good bedside manner, an great doctor

took time to explain all the findings of the MRI and answered all my questions to my satisfaction. Good to work with, thanks.

Other than I had to wait almost 2 hours to see the Doctor everything went well and I was pleased with the results but 3 hours at the drs office is a bit trying.

Sadly I’ll never pole vault again. Van Age 84

Excellent Doctor, Thanks for helping me in my time of need.

wonderful and professional

Time will tell. Only first appt.

Love this doctor he was conservative and then we did the surgery and I’m better than ever

Very Formatabal, makes you feel comfortable, that's a big deal for a Doctor...thank you

Very friendly and inviting.

Waited over an hour someone should have kept me informed

Dr. Bawa was very understanding and knowledgeable!

Bawa shoots you straight, good man!

He is the finest doctor one could ever hope to find. I have recommended him to many colleagues. Your organization is fortunate to have him working there.

The appt. was not rushed, he took his time with me to explain his approach. He had pictures of my xrays and mri but did not have a screen to show me on and i would have liked that in addition to the printout

Personable, interested, attentive

I am so impressed with Dr. Bawa. He patiently listened to my issues and concerns and answered my numerous questions about my condition and his recommended treatment. I feel very fortunate To be one of his patients.

Meticulous, attentive, and patient focused. He listens.

He was wonderful

Was having an issue with what was happening with my back. But it seems that they will be resolved tomorrow with my scheduled epidural.

Always personal. Really cares

Very thorough Listened and answered my questions

Listens

i definitely will recommend to others. Was pleased with his thoroughness and explanation of my problem. It was a relief!

Great surgeon and person

Great. Doctor

Dr. Maneesh Bawa is an excellent Orthopaedic and very friendly with the patient .

Dr Bawa is the absolute best. I trust him implicitly.

Excellent Doctor. Whole staff are incredible.

Very good as they used to say "bedside manner" explained everything thoroughly. Pleasant young man.

his listening skills are very well developed and was quite attentive to my questions

I feel confident with his knowledge and he is a personable human.

He IS the BEST!!!

Very abrupt. The doctor I saw wasn't the guy in that picture. I understand that he's busy but I need a bit more empathy from someone who's about to cut into my spine. Most surgeons are far more attentive on a first meeting.

Dr. Bawa is extremely caring, kind and thorough. We truly appreciate him.

Great bedside manner and very generous of his time.

An add-on appointment but he took me and analyzed ( number of x-rays) my situation based on a car accident. Dr. Bawa is very thorough and personable.

Great visit & thanks

Great explanations of proposed surgery. Took his time

Very thorough and professional.

Dr Bawa is a highly skilled surgeon with the ability to interact successfully with both patients and staff. I'm grateful to have him as my orthopedic surgeon.

Listened and explained things

Awesome doctor makes you feel is though he really cares. I like the fact that he will give me a straightforward answer to a straightforward question

The best. Relieved the intense pain I was experiencing. Very professional and accessible. Will answer all questions. Does not rush into surgery and tries conservative methods. But if surgery is necessary, he is great. Several other physicians recommended him also and he is there choice.

I found his bedside manner horrible

His office was able to fit me in without much notice. I was impressed.

Listens, answers questions and takes conservative options to pain relief rather than rushing into surgery.

Doctor was rushed and didn't spend sufficient time. Could have given a printout of summary of the visit on next steps. He gave overall good recommendation and was not rushing through with surgery, and suggested conservative treatment first.

Dr. Bawa’s Attention to patient concerns and comfort are of the first order of magnitude. He is very thorough and maintains a high level of current scientific, medical and surgical technological advances. A superb physician and surgeon.

Too much waiting. Didnt feel he wanted to make sure i fully understood everything. It all seemed hurried... must get to my next patient

Dr. Bawa took his time with me and put together a plan for my recovery.

Wonderful doctor.

Dr. Bawa seems to get easily frustrated with me.

Sounds like I’ve got good referrals. Fast appointment scheduled, but over hour wait in examining room.

Does not take patient history. Poor bedside manner.

Very competent doctor. Brings difficult subject matters to a level that is understandable to the common man.

I wish I could of had a little more feedback or have been asked how this episode came on. This could possibly have even given the Doctor more insight. I know he is very busy but I am fearful of this happening. I have been so good for so many years and this scares me!

Dr. Bawa is an excellent, knowledgeable doctor with such a patient way with my 91 year old mom!

The very best

professional while being personable, attentive to details about needs regarding disease and therapy information

Bad work.,does not care about patient satisfaction.Must learn how to plan ahead or before giving an opinion

Feel free to keep my money. I got absolutely nothing in return. Going elsewhere. I'm sure to get more than 3 minutes which is all I got here after waiting over an hour !

So kind. Gentle & thorough .i had dr dodge do my back surgery many years ago . Will always return to San Diego Otho . Dr bawa is great

The best. Very communicative, explains everything. Excellent results.

Bright, capable, but being so quick, I feel may keep him from getting to the depth of the moment.

Wonderful Surgeon...Kind caring and thoughtfu.. Surgery a success..How wonderful is that!!!DeDe
