In my entire life of 62 years, Dr. Bazaara is the most excellent Doctor I have ever "worked" with. He is super diligent about answering my online questions within hours, which is very soothing for me as my health is very important to me to know precise details. His demeanor and bedside manner is super calm and nice: he is, also, very cordial and is very compassionate both as a person and a medical professional. Additionally, it's cute how he adds a bit of humor periodically when we discuss my health matters. He always thoroughly reviews every fine details, regarding my health, health tests, helpful advice for current needs and for future recommendations needed, too. I am totally blown away, positively everything about him, especially the fact that he does not ever rush through appointments with me. As I said before, he is truly a Godsend. I hope I can have him for the remaining years of my life, as it is extremely rare to find an excellent Doctor of his nature and in the medical field. I cannot thank him enough how he helps me to put my health first, expecially when I get overloaded with the daily demands of my lifestyle, including family affairs, my weekly competitive sports-playing, my DJ career, and most of all, my continuing desire to help myself find ways to lose the stubborn extra 60 pounds of weight that negatively impacts my mind daily.
