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.
She was focused!
Good appointment. All personnel that I interacted with were all great.
Good
Excellent concern and took time to help solve my issues.
Caring
Good
Very Caring.
The provider was kind and she explained everything I needed to know about what we went there for.
She's great
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.
Above my expectations,need aGP that good
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
Dr. Khawaja listened to all I had going on and we came up with a good plan!
Very good
I was a new patient for this provider. She had obviously read my records and was familiar with my history.
Nothing bad just good conduct
Had a needle biopsy on my Thyroid. Had one done 2015 by a different doctor. They numbed me did the biopsy, I could not feel it and no pain the next day. This provider numbed ut but was very rough doing the biopsy. I could feel it clear back in my ears and throat. She kept saying don't shallow or talk. Then she kept saying their it is I got, I got. All 6 sticks. My whole neck was completely bursed for 4 day. This is the 5th day and it is finally looking better. I had a hard time swallowing, sore throat and ear pain for 3 days. I will be asking for a new provider through the OSU hospital when I need my 6 month checkup
She moves too fast and talks too fast. Exam, if you want to call it that, was too short.
Great level of care from this provider.
Good care
Dr. Khawaja is a caring dr. She always ask how I'm going & feeling. And explains everything to you. I'm glad she is my doctor.
Dr. Khawaja is an amazing personality from the beginning. Very kind and professional, always reassuring, detail oriented. She would listen & ask questions before giving his diagnosis & professional news. Making me feel at ease and she solves my health concerns.
After lab had a Multitude of first questions and forward plan explained. A lot to take in but good sinceI understood why my PC physician had me scheduled with specialist.
Very caring and explains in detail my health issues and treatment options.
She was very good in talking about my test results. Also making sure I would follow up with primary. She explained my test well and goals for what's next.
No bad experiences - Dr. Khawaja seems concerned about my numbers and offered assistance and guidance.
She was extremely knowledgeable about cushings syndrome, which is what she is testing me for. She was able to point out a lot of unrelated symptoms that fall under cushings. I felt like she truly saw me as a person, and did not judge me based on my weight, but understood I needed help. She sent me message through mychart at 10pm on a Friday night, letting me know what the results of my lab work were, and the next step toward getting a diagnosis. She's amazing!
She's great and very busy, but took time with me in a very relaxed - way, focused on me. She ordered a soft tissue of my neck MRI.
Very friendly and professional.
My provider was sincere and knowledgeable, and I appreciated her help. However, it was clear that she's trying to manage quite a large number of patients, and I believe she needs more support than she receives. The nurse assistant who attended my biopsy procedure seemed to be untrained in how to manage the samples/slides that were taken. Likewise, the resident who attended the procedure seemed untrained. Again, the endocrinologist needed more and better support than she seems to have been given. The endocrinologist, Dr. Khawaja, was sincere, kind, and appeared to be competent, but she was clearly overloaded with patients and seemed rushed.
Only good.
Very good
Fantastic care and patient concern from Dr. Khawaja. My first visit with her and I see why people say she is amazing. Spent time educating me on all the details of my health, history & test results. Best experience and best endocrinologist I have been to see! Patient, kind, caring, lots of time spent covering details, answering questions and going over testing. Also immediate responses on MyChart.
She'd ask me a question and then cut me off ...never really gave me a chance to explain my answer
Dr. K is the best.
Friendly and courteous
Dr K is caring and concerned
An excellent experience
Dr. K has been my doc since 2001, she knows me.
She is such a wonderful, caring doctor who wants the best for her patients
Dr. Khawaja has the respect of her colleagues that refer to her. She was kind and respectful. She answered my questions and developed a plan for my next visit. She eased my concerns, and I am grateful for the care she has provided to me over the years.
Very good.
Very caring and knowledgeable Listens to my concerns
Dr. Khawaja is amazing! She has been all 21 years I've been coming to see her. She helped me go from being an out of control, hospitalized Type I Diabetic to a Controlled Type I Diabetic. You can't ask for more than that.
Dr. Khawaja is the best.
Very caring
I finished the appointment before my appointed time and was thoroughly satisfied
Dr. Khawaja is a great provider and provides all the appropriate needs for my healthcare.
Professional, nice & seemed concerned, listened to me.
Does her very best to help you.
Explained everything about care plan very thoroughly, was friendly, professional, easy to understand.
All good experiences.
She was great.
Dr.K. Is friendly, knowledgeable and shows a genuine concern for the well being of her patients. She is also polite and courteous and I would recommend her to others if I knew they needed an endocrinologist.
This provider was unaware of my medicalHistory and took no time to speak or listen to me. She was very rude and did not address a single symptom or question.
She is an excellent physician and very kind and knowledgeable
She was very thorough, I thought I would have to come back for the ultrasound but it was done at this visit.
