Dr. Vina R Bajaj, MD

My husband had Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis and for years, never worried about his increasing changing thyroid. She used unproven protocols and at my insistence, he was referred to a surgeon for removal. Only then, did the surgeon discover he had thyroid cancer, which had advanced to Stage IV and spread to his lungs. Never use this doctor!

I don't understand how this woman has any patients!! She asked very abrupt questions that she didn't give you time to answer. When she did, she would belittle your answers and make you feel stupid. Also, being hearing impaired, she would snap at me if I answered incorrectly or took time to answer. She told me I didn't have a disease that I have been treated for for over 10 years by a very trusted gastrointerologist after only seeing me for 5 minutes. She then wanted to remove me from those medications. After being there for a hour and ten minutes, I left without completing the examination. I had had enough! A waste of time and money!

This may be the worst experience I have had visiting a doctor. She was running 1/2 hour late which didn't bother me as much as her caustic, unsympathetic bedside manner. I had to repeat myself several times only because she didn't listen and kept interrupting me. At one point in the conversation, she "accused" me of being depressed which is not a term you flippantly throw around. I left with more questions than answers. It's a shame because the staff was very friendly. I will NEVER go back

Dr. Bajaj may have a degree and specializes in this field, but we left feeling less knowledgable and had more questions than when we arrived. I have a very serious case of type 2 diabtes, and was hoping for additional expert advice. All I received was harsh disciplinarian actions, left humiliated. I was unable to complete my sentences without her interrupting. Lacks empathy. Seemed very rushed to get us in and out of office. The only thing she wanted to do was set us up for another diabetes class, in which I have already attended 2 of these. And then requested a follow-up visit! Bad experience. It was a total waste of my time. On a positive note, her staff was very polite.

I like GHA overall and think its good to have doctors unified for care. dr. Bajaj is professional and courteous but lacks empathy or even understnadning to symptoms and seems rushed. Its also hard to have a conversation regarding things that are not scientific with her. If its a black/white issue then she would be fine but if you need to discuss options you leave feeling like you have unanswered questions. Dr. Marate the ENT was completely the opposite and amazing.

I have to say I only went to Dr. Bajaj for a short time at the Anderson location. There is a 30 minute wait for them to answer a phone. Tried to get the Dr. to call in a prescription to my pharmacy after talking to her staff two days in a row never did happen! So I had my primary call in the prescription and now I'm finding a new Endocrinologist. Really think twice about this Dr.
