Kaneland Allergy and Asthma Center

Tried to get an appointment here, but the phone kept going to voicemail…3 times! I tried calling at different times, even different days, and still the same thing! If my child was having an asthma attack or an allergic reaction and this is where my physician worked, I would be expected to leave a message at the tone? Not good.

While my first visit was promising, all subsequent encounters have been quite frustrating. Leaving Kaneland Allergy I was upbeat and felt hopeful; however after several days, and messages I was becoming increasingly irritated that my prescriptions had not been sent over to Target for me to pickup. I finally connected with the doctor and she was apologetic, and took care of it right away. Due to my work schedule I had to reschedule my follow up appointment, which I did with the receptionist; however on the day of my original appointment she called and was completely snotty about me not coming in, um hello I rescheduled… with you! Most recently Target faxed a request to refill prescriptions which were ignored, as were my messages for a refill or another appointment if that is what I needed. Either way as an asthma sufferer I really do not appreciate being ignored trying to get inhalers refilled. Now I’m scrambling to find another doctor before my inhalers run out.

I cannot CANNOT say enough good things of Doctor Bajowala and her practice.
I’ve been going to her for allergy/​asthma stuff and my son has as well, and when my daughter broke out with mysterious hives, instead of brushing me off or making me feel like I was overreacting, she #1 made emergency room in her schedule to see my daughter as a patient and #2, calmly assessed the situation and prescribed medication to make my daughter feel better. Few weeks later we had an answer as to what was making my daughter sick.
She is super kind and patient with children patients (my son loves her so much he BEGS for allergy shots and scratch tests. Weird kid. HA)
If its not an emergency situation– it takes a little more time to get in on the schedule than if it was an emergency but nothing ridiculous.
She is knowledgable about breast feeding– and not just breast feeding, but extended breast feeding. which I appreciate because it is extremely RARE in my experience.

We found Dr. Bajowala when my son was diagnosed with FPIES. It was hard to find information on this, but Dr. Bajowala was a lifesaver! We drive over an hour each way to see her for multiple conditions with our child including EoE, FPIES and IGE allergies. She is wonderful with our children and so patient with us. We love her!
