It was a beautiful sunny day it was so many beautiful clouds in the sky, I was talking to a childhood friend I ran into, and as i was looking at them Iwe were eye leveled, and then I saw the sky.
My friend said what's wrong because tears start rolling down my face.
That's when I had realized,
I was standing up! Standing straight, standing and talking!
I'm telling you the Sky never looked so beautiful to me in my life, until that moment ✨️
Dr. Bakhsh,you are my saving grace, and I will forever be grateful for, may the heavenly sky's keep guiding you to fix and change, people lives, just like you did for mine.
My life is anew because of Dr.Bakhsh, I just can't say thank you enough for what he's done for me, how he has improved my life.
I couldn't stand up straight, I was in terrible pain every single day, couldn't do my daily needs, especially cooking and cleaning,
I have missed out on so many important things, because of my Back pain. I not only had back pain I walked bent over for years!
Which was embarrassing to me, when I would see family and friends.
Now I cook standing up!

Dr. Bakhsh is a great doctor takes time to listen. Explain things to you makes you feel good when you walk out of the office. I recommend him to everyone. I could find that needs a back surgery. Best surgeon I ever come across.

By the way he was prepared for my visit I knewHe had reviewed my mri and ct and knew I needed additional x-rays for my condition. He knew what movement He had to see to help determine the extent of my injury and pain. He seemed like a very knowledgeable and caring doctor

I am confident that he is a fine physician/surgeon; however, we do not seem to have excellent rapport.

He didn't have a great personality. He was very short, not even 5 minutes. Between waiting almost a month in a half with terrible pain to get tests done, I have never had to go with that much pain for that long. After giving me steroids and muscle relaxers that did nothing, he then had me get an injection, which finally took care of the pain. I was so bad, I took some of my old pain pills to get me thru the rough times. I feel he didn't understand my pain.

Dr. Banish is very patient and personal with you and most doctors are not like that these days, they’re always rushing to get to the next patient. He comes in the and sits down and talks to you about what’s going on with you and how you are feeling, he then puts a plan together to move forward to get your body healed and feeling better.
