“I have struggled with mental health for a very long time and I have seen many doctors so trust me when I say Dr. Bacalar is the best! For one, he actually cares and second he is really intelligent but not in a know-it-all kinda way. He always listens and explains things to me and I always come away from the appts feeling better. I am very grateful he took me on as a patient and I hope he will be my doctor forever. He has changed my life for the better.”
