Exceptional Dr.
He came in the room for roughly 2 minutes. He seemed to be in a hurry. I had a few questions of concern and he answered them in a way to just get me out of there in a hurry. I haven’t been seen in a year and all they did was check my BP. I thought I was there to check and/or monitor the progress of my heart/ cholesterol. He also stated that Dr. Ali was my doctor. Well why wasn’t he there to see me. I felt like the only reason I was there was to pay a balance on a copayment that I had. I’m still confused as to how my health is put into some one’s else’s hands and they don’t have empathy for others. I need to speak with someone about my visit soon.
Dr. Bakhtiar is one of the best. He is an ardent listener and is very explanatory with his words. I have a lot of confidence in him.
His PA was very efficient and no wait time
Don’t understand his accent
