Babich John F MD

He was absolutely awful. Depressing. Never had a positive thing to say. I have joint damage from RA that I know I wouldn't have if he been a better doctor. So glad I left him.

I had a great experience with this physician when I was diagnosed with polymyocytis, that was in 2002 but reading reviews it seems that he is being pressured and controlled by government and just trying to practice without a federal lawsuit!!! The entire medical profession is going down the toilet due to doctors being afraid of federal regulations and lawsuits!! In conclusion he was a great doctor when I needed him !!! The entire medical field is controlled by the government and doctors are scared to lose their livelihood!!💔. Thank you Dr Babich. Sincerely , Lisa Enfinger

I saw this doctor 5 years ago. Gave him a 2nd chance visit because I couldn't believe a medical professional to be so rude, egotistical, & condescending. Although it's been 5 years I will NEVER forget the 2nd appointment! He treated me like a drug seeking complainer. Told me I had Fibromyalgia Not RA. He basically yelled at me for not following his instructions then dismissed me with no treatment. After 5 years the visit is as vivid to me as if it was today. He's a so-called MD with NO bedside manner to speak of & denied 3 other diagnosis from very reputable Rheumatologists (2 of which are from major medical facilities in the west). I felt humiliated when I left his office & I wouldn't recommend him to my Worst enemy! My opinion of him is He's practicing under the assumption that he feels entitled to put down someone he feels that is perhaps weak. I was in the medical profession for about 20 years & worked for so called doctors like him that got joy out of treating those "below" him with disrespect, sarcasm, & a false sense of superiority. I would never have him even consult my beloved 15 y/o Shiba Inu who has very bad rheumatic disease in her hind legs! Don't trust this Q____! I'd give him a 0 rating but that's not an option.

**Warning - Do NOT go to this doctor!!** My mom has been seeing Dr. Babich for years now without any complaints. But since I started taking her, as she can no longer take herself, it’s been a NIGHTMARE!!! Was just there last week, he told me they couldn’t refill her meds bc her bloodwork was not up to date, not true, it was done within the last two months, then they did more bloodwork that day, and said they would refill her meds, did they, nope! They were giving her pills for her RA AND having shots sent to her house. They told me they never prescribed her the shots, had no idea how she was getting them!! The box stated it was prescribed from Dr Babich!!!! And they would not stop sending them for months. They don’t answer the phone or respond, so for months my mom was doubling up on RA medication bc she has Alzheimer’s and would not stop taking the shot! My mom could hardly walk, her knees were hurting so bad, Dr Babich seemed to care less, was just gonna send her off. I asked about her knees, he said that she has osteoarthritis in her knees and would need knee replacements at some point and sent us on our way. Ummm. Again, do NOT go to him. He does nothing, doesn’t care about his patients and his staff is incapable. I don’t know how this office is still allowed to do business.

Over a one year period, I was misdiagnosed and treated by Dr. John Babich for ankylosing spondylitis. In that time, I was administered Remicade by infusion for a number of months, and then asked to administer Taltz via auto injectors. So, two expensive, uncomfortable and unnecessary medications that may, potentially, have long term affects. Since then, I have found new care that challenged my insurance to obtain an MRI to rule out ankylosing spondylitis. Proceed with caution as Dr. Babich appears to be quick on the diagnosis with minimal support.

Dr Babich said my muscle pain and extreme fatigue was fbromyalgia i needed more sleep ,and maybe a therapist, as there was not much to do about the illness. Ordered lab work and scheduled a follow up. On my return he indicated positive test related to lupus showed up but it was 50/50 whether I had the disease. I informed him the muscle pain was relentless, that the fatigue caused me to take a LOA. I questioned whether it was lupus causing it . He gave me a blank look said I will see you back in 3months and sarcastically said here is a referral to a pain management clinic in his building. (I felt he was suggesting I was drug seeking) I'm A nurse and only had A narcotic after getting my wisdom tooth pulled over 18 years ago! NEVER WENT back to him and never saw his buddy for pain management. Months later i couldnt walk 30 feet without stopping completely exhausted. A trip to the ER confirmed a nodule on my heart seen in lupus patients. I had to have emergency surgery for a pacemaker and put on cortisone for lupus management My everyday pain gone, fatigue only when I over do it! His flippant and sarcastic behavior could have caused me to lose my life! The one star is because there was never a wait...maybe now I know why!

This office is the worst!! The staff at the front desk in both offices are very rude and loud with peoples personal information... Dr.Babich, never has a conversation with his patients he is not into the new innovative car that is around for MCTD or fibromyalgia patients. I believe he went to school in the late 60's or 70's and that's the care you get old school things..now back to the staff they are very rude, and they talk about patients in a very negative way. The nurses greet who they like and just totally ignore who they don't!!

Dr.Babich truly cares for his patients well being with experience guided by knowledge. The bad review's come from people who'd rather be treated with narcotics and that is the wrong way to treat rheumatoid arthritis. Dr. Babich expert knowledge in this field is the best.
