Dr. Bakir- amazing doctor, professional, friendly took the time with me

12/19/2023

I think this provider may be great. However, I waited quite a while to be seen. I did not understand why my intermittent adherence to taking medication was more dangerous than not taking it. There was confusion about post-appointment follow-up. I like the clinician very much, but using a template for the notes meant that things in the notes were not actually covered in our appointment.

Dr Bakir is a wonderful Dr and I feel fortunate to be in her care. I trust her decisions, love that she takes time to explains the need for medications and tests and have told several friends and family members to use her as their provider.

I think Dr. Bakir saved me from an early heart attack by sending for several tests quickly. I was given a stent for a blocked artery and am feeling fine now.
