this dr was present to call time of death on my father in law, over 6 weeks ago!! he never signed the death certificate, so it was transferred to the county coroners office. when coroner finally got cause of death, it had to be sent to health department for approval. health department denied. now we are back to where we started. 6 weeks and my father in law has. NOT BEEN LAID TO REST! i will be filing a formal complaint with hospital and state medical board! The is absolutely disgusting and unethical behavior from a dr!! read more

While I have no idea why a Rheumatologist has a side gig signing death certificates, even if that makes sense (or is legal) at least do your job somewhat properly. This is a time when families are going through so much emotional stress and have financial burdens so shame on you Dr. (or the office staff) when death certificates aren't signed for weeks or when they are, they are expired. Apparently this is a known issue with the Dr. Hopefully the care received by patients who are still alive is better. read more

Dr Ahluwalia and his staff are great they may take awhile to answer the phone but it's worth the wait. Even through this pandemic we're all in he still goes above and beyond for his patients he is professional and takes time to listen to your health concerns God bless you Dr Ahluwalia your a very good doctor as well as a great human being thanks for all your help and I highly recommend him for everyone's needs. Sincerely Edward Roque Hernandez read more

DO NOT GO TO HIM!!! Hes a very nice man and used to be great. my family have been going to him for over 12 yrs. but now? absolutely horrible. the staff is incredibly rude, snarky, and dont care about the needs of patients. Dr. A and his Pa dont seem to care about his patients either. ive been in chronic pain since i was 13. im now 3 2 and no where closer to figuring out whats wrong. i have to force them to help me. i missed my apt by 3 mins and was told that my apt would be rescheduled, when i explained i had been on hold with their office for the past 25 mins and desperately need this apt i was rudely told 'if you need her so bad then you can go to the ER' i cant believe i pay these people just to sit on their thumbs. save yourself, find a better doctor!! read more

Well I must say it's a horrible wait' 2 hrs the first time and 3 hrs the next' I did some checking and come to find out they double book, 3 people that I talked to said they to were double booked, (same appointment time) so there you go, it was a 5 hour day for me because I live far, I recommend when u call for an appointment tell them please don't give someone else the same appointment time, read more

This is the worst doctor are family has experienced. We waited over 3 hours to see the Doctor with an appointment. Trying to refill medications is very difficult . CVS send requests 3 different times with no response this last time . I called 4 different times and the receptionist are either to busy or incompetent. We have been with this doctor for over a year thinking the situation would improve and it has only gotten worse. read more

The staff wasn't overly rude to me, but I over heard one being disgusting rude to a patient that had Lupus. He spent less than 10 minutes with me per visit and didn't care to listen to my concerns. I feel like I'm just a number. read more

Unfortunately this doctor's office does not know how to schedule appointments they double-booked everybody.They makes everybody sit around for about an hour hour-and-a-half when your appointment is already long overdue. People have lives they have transportation needs. When you have to coordinate rides and stuff.They don't care and they are rude employees that work here because they just don't care. Don't waste people's time and don't double book. read more

I like Dr. Ahluwalia himself (that's why more than one star) but the office has other problems (that's why less than five stars). It's always crazy busy because they double-book like mad. Also a recent change is that you can only pick up written (narcotic) prescriptions from 3-5 pm. ... why??? Literally why would that even be a rule?? I'm sitting in the office right now writing this, and a woman who drove here from Victorville was told she'd have to wait until three... she was understandably upset, but kept her cool, as the rude ass MA behind the counter completely dismissed her concern. read more

I really like this doctor. He treats you kindly and respectfully and I find him to be very knowledgeable and professional. Sometimes there are long wait times, especially at the end of the day, it I find that true with any doctor. read more

Dr. Ahluwalia and his staff are excellent. They go above and beyond for me (thank you Gricelda!) and their genuine care shines through. I've had quite a few experiences with bad doctors and/or bad staff, and you will find neither of those here. For everyone giving a bad rating because of overbooking, my experience is that that is everywhere in the high desert as the doctor to patient ratio is astronomical. Every other pcp and primary I've been to is a minimum hour wait, sometimes 3. If they booked everyone in one hour increments, you'd be waiting for an appointment for 6 months and then you'd be complaining about that. I'd be worried if they were slow as that would mean no one wanted to see him. I'm glad to have found Dr. A after moving here from San Diego. He is head and shoulders a class above my previous rheumatologist!! read more

The girls in the office are so rude. They definitely do not like people. It's happened Many times when your trying to explain and the girl says "I'm not arguing with you" I asked to speak to a supervisor and they said they have none. No wonder they get away with it. I like the doctor but one time I tried to tell him about that girl Rosio and he didn't we ant to hear it. I believe I will change my insurance. read more

Just terrible! The office see's patients for primary care, but the staff has turn overs constantly! I just tried to make an appointment for something important and was told the doctors will not be seeing patients till mid month! So they are closing? Who oversee's practices like this? read more

I am a patient of this Dr. What happened to your Grandmother was not right. It was not right when a lot of the same behavior happened to me. It always makes you a lot more hurt, and mad when it happens to a loving close member of your family. As for me I'm also looking for a new Dr. This office is rude, they do not mean to be but they ARE extremely OVERWORKED! Irene at the front desk is very kind and professional. However Grizalda does not even stop when you are trying to speak an important piece of information to her when it has to do with her job, however I am sure she is yelled at all day. He does double book, I have myself worked in this field it really does take someone who cares, I have never heard of a Dr. double booking. I am so disappointed and hurt it will be very hard to trust another Doctor. read more

This is my 3rd time in this office.. 1st experience was a nightmare and 2nd well same besides taking a patient ahead of me cause they didn't know how to pronounce my name CASH!! The staff is very unprofessional besides rude. I've never seen a staff that literally look like they hate their job. They are always booked and it takes hrs to be seen. It's ridiculous and I don't want to be seen here anymore. Waste of my time!! read more

This guy is a joke my wife has R.A and her appointment was at 9:15 this morning. We waited for over 4 hours and still didn't see him. We asked if all R.A patients had to wait this the nurse proudly said yes. They said he's the only rheumatologist in the H.D so we had to endure what he wants. Smh read more

So terrible. Denied my lupus medication because I haven't been seen since March of this year? I don't understand that then I have to wait til October 4 but if I flare I won't have any of my medications to help. The lady on the phone was rude. Appointments are 3 hour waits it just seems like they don't care at all. I had dr thakker rip then they sent me to this rude place. It's terriblethat I have to go down the hill to feel like I'm getting the best service. read more

My grandmother has been a patient of Dr. Bikramjit Ahluwalia for almost 3 years now. Within that period of time, paperwork has been lost, she has been referred to 7 specialists for various issues, and was once even forgotten in the office. Waiting up to an hour to see him is unacceptable and is yet a common occurrence. The sad part is that he's most likely a good doctor if he took the time to really help his patients and replace his staff with professionals. His problem is greed. He's continuously taking in new patients even though he is already overbooked on a daily basis. he never makes appointments on time or even within a 15 minute increment. Instead of adhering to his own schedule his staff will double book then cancel on you which isn't good if it is an important appointment. His nurses aren't rude per say, but just seem so busy, they don't have the time to care. And finally his front desk is the most ghetto, rude, insensitive group of people I've ever dealt with within the medical industry. I'm writing this today because today's phone call was the straw that broke the camel's back. I was placed on hold by a rude front desk rep (griselda) for a long period of time with no refresh or update as to the hold time or situation. When I explained the issue she cut me off. When i asked if i could finish she placed me back on hold with no notice. It was the worst experience and I shudder to think of how they treat my grandmother. I'm in the process of searching for a new doctor for her as his office has not been quality experience and my grandmother deserves better. read more

DO NOT BOTHER!!! Wish I could give less than one star. My wonderful rheumatologist, Dr Thacker, passed away and I was referred by my insurance company to Dr Ahluwalia. I waited four months to get an appointment at his Hesperia office. I arrived on time, paid my copay and filled out the medical history packet. When I gave the paperwork to the receptionist she politely said it would be an hour wait. I am a working person. I went to work early and used my half hour lunch to make up time at work in order to make the appointment. I realize that it is a common occurance to wait for a doctor's appointment. However, Dr Ahluwalia intentional over books making his patients wait. According to the receptionist, an hour wait is the normal practice at both Dr. Ahluwalia's offices. Clearly there is a desire for money over patient care. Also, the waiting room is so small, the air wasn't on and several of Dr Ahluwalia's arthritic patients must stand while they wait the hour to see him. To top it off.....when I asked for a refund on by debit card for the copay since I was unable to wait, I was told they couldn't refund from the Hesperia office. I would have to drive out to the Hesperia office to collect it or apply it to my rescheduled office visit. I smiled and said there would be NO rescheduled visit. I would NOT recommend the doctor to anyone and will be calling my primary physician and my insurance company as well. Dr Thacker would NEVER have treated his patience this way. But then he wasn't a money grubbing medical professional. I will gladly drive down the hill to see a real rheumatologist. read more

I am very pleased with Dr. Bikramjit Ahluwalia in the times I have seen him. Dr. Ahluwalia has great bedside manners, always listens and looks you in the eyes when talking. I switched my PCP due th the fact that he did not listen to anything I said. Not so with Dr. Ahluwalia, his concern seems genuine and he listens, which for me it is wonderful to have a doctor to feel comfortable with. I see him in the Hesperia office, and the staff there always is poilite with me. The wait time is normal for any busy doctor, half hour? Overall my experience has been very good. read more
