Dr Bakos is one of the finest Doctors I have ever seen. He is very professional, competent, and thorough. He is also a very caring man. The world needs more people like him.
1 hour late. Did not review CT Scan with patient. Did a second scope but did not display for patient. Given that a surgical biopsy is now forthcoming to be performed by him presumably, one hesitates to be critical!
Great doctor, great attitude, and in a well run office.
Excellent review of test results, answered all my questions.
Dr Bakos and his office staff were a pleasure as usual.
Dr. Bakos is awesome. He is genuinely one of the most caring doctors I have ever encountered.
Excellent all around!!
Very thorough. He listens and asks about symptoms and is patient when I try to explain them. Has a very nice manner.
Listens to me and is trying to help me looking forward to his help at least he is going to try. Has great patient care qualities
Very professional with a pleasant demeanor Dr. Bakos spends the time listening to his patients concerns.
