Dr Bakhsh was so Nice and explained things. He shook my hand and introduced himself which was awesome. I've been to some Dr that act like you are waisting their time.

He is fresh in his training and I did not have to repeat or try to explain my referral as I usually have issues explaining. He listened and was also informative when I asked him a separate spinal question unrelated to the visits issue.

Int husband and I both seen him and didn’t like how he only spent 5 minutes with us and again didn’t bring anything in to show us the results of the X-rays he Don both of us

Dr. Bakhsh is polite and cordial. He didn't ask me a lot of questions. I have noticed with some other physicians that the patient has to do most of the talking. Not a lot of questions are asked by the physicians.

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!
