Dr Bawa was our whole family's Dr. He treated all 11 of my children when they were kids and even into adulthood. He was such a humble man. I continued to see him for many years because he was the best Dr. I have ever known. Mrs Bawa was kind to my family and she was extremely helpful. She gave me good advice when I needed it. I sure miss them both and Dr. Bawa's practice. And we can't forget Sabrina. It was was truly a family environment. My condolences.
