First time meeting with Dr. Bajra; appointment was for my annual physical. She was extremely patient and thorough, going meticulously through my medical and family history, addressing a number of questions I had, and suggesting a range of treatment options.
Excellent provider. Very kind and thorough.
EXCELLENT!
First time we have seen Dr. Bajra. My husband and I thought she was excellent.
Took a lot of time listening when she really didn't have too.
Dr. Bajra consistently provides the very best medical service, advice, and treatment plan going forward of all the doctors I've had experience with. Prior to the visit, she had familiarized herself with the symptoms of my case and treatment provided by another doctor and dermatologist who had seen me previously. After examining me and getting the latest symptoms I was presenting, she setup the tests I needed to have taken and provided feedback on the test results within a short time after the lab results were available. In addition to the physiological remedies that are provided, it is psychologically beneficial whenever she provides treatment and that sometimes can be under appreciated.
Have recommended Dr. Bajra - she was very thorough & explained "next steps" so there was a clear understanding. Excellent doctor.
