About Me
As an endocrinologist, I treat a range of conditions including thyroid and adrenal disorders, diabetes and bone health issues. I have been taking care of patients alongside an exceptional team in the Division of Endocrinology, Diabetes and Metabolism for more than two decades. I proudly helped establish the Endocrine Clinic at Outpatient Care New Albany, which has allowed more patients to receive important care closer to home.
I chose this field because I find endocrine disorders fascinating. My patients can always rely on me to do all I can to improve their situation and help them achieve a higher quality of life.
In addition to my clinical responsibilities, I am a professor of Internal Medicine and serve as a block leader for Endocrinology in The Ohio State University College of Medicine. I have received awards for my work in medical education, and I am often invited to share my expertise at national and international conferences.

I am very impressed with the doctor. She was very thorough and she showed genuine concern asking many questions. She followed up from last visit specifically on every item of concern I feel my level of care is at the highest I could ever expect and I am so happy with adr Khawaja!!!!
When she finally came in the room, sure was with a student and directed all of her comments to the student, talking about me as if I weren't there. She was explaining to the student how she would recommend treatments, medications, future plans, etc. But was not talking to me directly. When I asked a question about the lab orders, she didn't seem to understand what I was asking and didn't bother to get it clarified.
As always very attentive to detail
Dr. Kawajja took time to review my information even though she had not seen me since 2013.

Excellent bedside manner.
She always listens to me, not just hears.
No complaints
Thorough, kind, attentive and receptive
Fine
You could tell that she was trying to get out of the appointment as quickly as possible. I felt like she wasn't listening to me, since my bloodwork came back normal, she said nothing was wrong with me. She did not even feel my thyroid area where I have a suspicious bump. This was extremely concerning to me.
This was my first appointment with this doctor, after having to wait six months to see her. She seemed really knowledgeable and went through my history with me. Yet, every question I had about the reason for my visit and related concerns were rapidly dismissed with short responses. After completing the ultrasound, we left the room. I assumed we would go to the initial room to discuss next steps, questions, etc. But since my purse and coat had already been moved out and left on top of a desk in another general room, the last questions were rushed and without any kind of privacy. Had this had been my first visit at OSU, I would not return.
Caring, knows my health history!
Perfect
She was very nice and friendly.
She didn't ask me any questions. Just went over previous lab results and u/s. Never asked me if I had any symptoms
Dr provides Excellent care and compassionate.
I really appreciated how Dr. Kawaja was very thorough in their explanations of that was happening throughout the entire clinical encounter. However, I still feel pain from the biopsy.
Very good first meeting with her. She respected my concerns and can up with a care plan for my needs
She remembers everything. She doesn't skip details. She respects our different points of view but never gives up. It's a skill.

My provider is very knowledgeable but talks very fast. I try to write down the important information she provides, but I am unable to keep up with her, and some of the specifics she mentions are not included in my discharge papers.

Exceptional service
Excellent. Par excellence
Wonderful
Excellent doctor, very knowledgeable ,thorough, with very good communication skills with patients. Very good experience overall this visit.Very pleasant and dedicated endocrinologist!!!
Very knowledgeablefriendly
Dr Khawaja does not respond in a timely manner to anything. It's very distressing to have TSH levels that are off the chart and the doctor who ordered the labs says nothing for days and every time I call, I get a call center that just says they'll pass along my message. It's extremely frustrating and I am in the process of finding a new endocrinologist
