Dr Gaqi listens to all concerns, doesn't rush and cares about each individual as an individual. I am glad I found her. She is the best!
Verified patient
Very nice doctor. She is very straight forward while still being caring. I appreciate that she listens to my concerns and while she is great with helping me with my medication, she is also willing to help me find ways to not *need* as much medication. I don't mind having a wait time when I go to see her, because I know that she takes her time to be thorough and my appointment won't be cut short. Really lucky to have found such a great doctor!
