Dr Baral is a good listener, knowledgeable, and not dismissive of concerns. She doesn't peddle drugs, which is important to me. Her demeanor is half serious half funny, and her staff are all very nice.

I actually enjoyed being able to talk with her about my health issues. She is a very carring and understanding person.
