Dr. Makhiawala is the best provider I’ve seen. She takes her time to listen and talk with you, she is thorough in her explanations, knowledgeable, and has the best bedside manner I’ve ever experienced. I had a particularly stressful situation and Dr. Makhiawala helped me to feel at ease (even laugh), explained everything very carefully and turned a visit I was very hesitant about to a completely positive experience. I’m so impressed with the care Dr. Makhiawala provides (it’s hard to find these days) and I can’t recommend he... read more

All of these poor reviews shock me. I made it a point to see every Dr. in the Brighton IHA OB office throughout my pregnancy and Dr. Makhiawala was by far my favorite. She is super warm and friendly, and attentive to all my questions and concerns. She does tend to run behind but it’s because she takes time with her patients to give them proper care, and make sure all their questions are answered. I would highly recommend Dr. Makhiawala, she is extremely competent AND kind, a difficult combination to find in many Dr.s these d... read more

As a health professional myself for many years working in women's health I found Dr Makhiawala rude, judgemental and pushy . She displayed an arrogance not only unprofessional but disrespectful. She lectures and does not listen to the patient . Regarding her idea of health teaching I found her explanations were presented in a superior manner and not completely accurate . She was condescending towards me and insulted me with her choice of words and superior attitude . She indicated "in her opinion" that the appointment was no... read more

Dr.Makhiawala made me feel a type of desperation and sadness that I haven’t felt in months. I was so excited to finally have an OBGYN appointment to get a proper diagnoses. I’m a 17 year old CHILD who has been in severe stomach pain ever since I had my first menstraul cycle. When trying to explain what I thought my diagnoses was, Dr.Makhiawala couldnt of caught my mother and I more off guard. She began to CRITICIZE my healthcare. She told me that she “was trying her best to be professional, but it is really hard right now he... read more

I was admitted into the hospital for severe abdominal pain and fever related to a post delivery infection. I turned down opioid pain meds when admitted as the triage Dr's expected that my pain would go away after the antibiotics kicked in. 12 hours later the pain was still awful so I requested the meds that were offered earlier. But Dr Rima flat out accused me of not really being in any more pain that should be expected 4 weeks after a c-section (even though this sharp pain and fever were new) and accused her 2 colleagues in... read more

I agree with other reviews....no respect for her patients. She is very intelligent and knowledgeable but acts intellectually superior and "arrogant" in conversation with her patients. She performed a life saving surgery on me and was fabulous, but as a person/bedside manner, she needs to cultivate more warmth and kindness. I didn't mesh well with her, personality wise. She makes her patients wait for a lengthy period of time as well, as if she's very "important". Otherwise, she's brilliant. :(

She seems to have no respect for her patients. I have scheduled my first appointment with her and I received a call that the appointment needs to be rescheduled. I've rescheduled and when I got to her office I was told that the Dr. is running late and it will be at least 1/2 delay. I asked the Dr. to take me one hour later (vs. 1/2 hour) so I could attend the appointment my husband had with his oncologist. Dr. Makhiawala refused to do so. Disappointing.
