The entire clinic is very professional but not one ounce of being personable; this goes from th check in to my physician Dr Bast. He looks like he does not want to be a physician and I never got the feeling from him that he was concerned about me or my health or some of my health concerns. He’s the epitome of I will do my job and my job only, it’s a very cold feeling when I come into the clinic. Currently I’m looking for a new doctor, the only reason I selected this clinic was it’s convenience next to the Irsay YMCA.

Only my second time seeing Dr Bast, but so far so good. No bs, gives recommendations, answers the questions, and is very thorough.

03/18/2025

He’s a good looking, hip, doc that exhumes confidence and has a nice smile. Seems like a cool dude you’d sit down, crank up some heavy metal, and fire up a blunt with while discussing the fine points of your slightly elevated esinophile levels.
