      I left a review regarding Dr. Bawa over a year ago. The review was truthful, and included how I felt he was more interested in selling supplements than an actual physician.
      He responded 5 days ago and insinuated that I had a weight problem and a pill narcotic problem. I have never taken narcotic pills in my life. He posted this on a social media site. I believe that is against HIPAA.
      He continued and said that the four or five other people that had left bad reviews had a narcotic problem. Our names are visible. Isn’t that against HIPAA? He is a physician.

      Ms. ******* *** posted a negative review and the photos she has posted are those of the private conversation between her and me where I tried to ask her why she posted a negative review.  In addtion, Ms. ******* on nextdoor did not reveal her full name and only had has a picture of a large dog as her picture so I had no information about her and could not violate any HIPAA laws.  

      It is customary to reach out to a person in a private conversation and ask for why someone posted a negative review.  This is all that transpired here.  If she did not want to reply she could have blocked me or not replied.  However, she chose to be vulgar calling me "narcissistic mfr."  

      In addition, Ms. *** has never met me and has only seen a Nurse Practitioner in my practice.  Therefore, her posting negative reviews about me is pure libel, slander and defamation.  

      Attached is a picture showing that the conversation between us is a private conversation so does not violate any HIPAA laws.
