I was a patient of Dr. Bajwa. He's nothing more than a licensed drug dealer. He used to prescribe 90tabs of 4mg dilapidated, 10vials of I'm demerit.. Monthly. Never addressed the headache just told me to take these meds. My primary was shocked. I soon became addicted badly. I blame him. He didn't force them down my throat but before him, I'd never taken opiates. I am sober now. His solution is drugs and more Drugs.

i was called a chronic pain sufferer so as a result was put on methadone,the very worst opiod to be on because its trapping unlike other painkillers,its not every 4-6 hours as needed,you must take it 4 times a day. i was on this treatment plan for over 10 years. when my primary care physician retired, i was told to go back to him by the new doctor dr.bajwa denied ever prescribing this treatment. on a friday evening leading to a holiday weekend, iwas kicked to the curb. as a result i went from 220mg of methadone to omg.this torture went on for many months,and i could have died.people say it is like a bad case of the flu,i have had the flu,and it is nothing even close. dr.bajwa sould have his license to practice medicine revoked.god how many people he has done to at the arnold pain management center of the beth israel medical center in boston,ma.

I too would like to know where he is. I've been advised to change my headache treatment with the new person I'm seeing at the same pain management center, and I feel that it's only because the insurance company is telling the new doctor that I'm seeing what he should prescribe. I don't trust the whole situation. If Dr Bajwa is stillin Boston, I'd like to know where he is, and why he left Arnold Pain Management Center.

Dr. Zahid Bajwa really knows his stuff. After minimal visits he has helped (not cured) both my back and headache issues. Never realized I could have this minimal pain. Would recommend him to everyone. Unfortantly he has left aburtly from the Arnold Pain Clinic and no one can tell me where to follow him to. If you find him get in to see him.
