Dr. Shefali Dwarka Awatani, MD

This woman saw my husband for a few weeks and after my husband’s condition did not improve, I requested copies of his medical records. After assessing him, she had noted down everything but his main complaint. We are now awaiting tests, several weeks later, that were recommended by another physician after formally filing a complaint against her. This is the first complaint I have ever written. Ever. Without going into much detail about his condition, I will say that she suggested some diagnostic procedures and then denied them at the next visit, even though his condition had not improved and got worse. She has never provided a treatment plan for him. Aside from the negligent care she gave, she was extremely rude to my husband and refused to answer two questions he had about his condition. I am a healthcare professional and to know that my husband was treated by such a rude and incompetent doctor leaves me horrified beyond words. I am thankful we were able to have another… doctor see him.
