Very satisfied with Doctor Baskar. The office help a little too sterile for me.
Directions and address could have been a little better.
February 24, 2016Paula M.Verified patient
Dr Bascar is buy far the most caring man I've ever had the pleasure to know . He went way out of his way to see that my medical need came first by rearranging his entire weekly routine to meet me on a day that was convenient for me to have a much needed medical procedures done at the hospital.
His appointments at his office often run a little behind schedule but im sure it's because he makes extra time available for each patient to have all their questions answered and feel comfortable with the treatment plan.
I'm very grateful to Dr Bascar for making me feel like I'm his only patient and that my needs come first !!

I felt very comfortable talking to him. He didn't rush and was very thorough. One of his staff had to set up a test for me and she went over everything with me in detail.

Friendly, hearty, funny, and quick: Dr. Baskar gets to the point and you leave the office satisfied that he has thought about your case. Because of the number of patients in the office, the wait is fairly long.

November 13, 2015Initials hidden
Making a patient wait 2 hrs in the waiting room shows a total disrespect for the patient..
It also shows poor management of the office and its staff.. Using ZocDoc Inc should eliminate staff paper work and cut down on waiting room paperwork and time spent.
I have asked for my medical records and will be seeing another doctor.

Excellent doctor. Explain everything very clearly before doing COLONOSCOPY. Excellent bedside manner. After the colonoscopy the medication he recommend working very good. Therefore he is very intelligent as a Doctor. So I recommend Dr. Baskar for any GASTRO problems.

Fine except I was in 3 different rooms besides the lobby and conference room. It seems to me it's a lot of wasted time for all.
More than 1 year agoInitials hidden
The waiting room was almost standing room only as some patients were there with non-patients attending the appointment with the patient. One patient had 3 non-patients with them. Had that not been the case, there would have been plenty of room. The staff were always pleasant and friendly and despite the busy office, they never acted bothered or irritated in any way. Everyone in the staff was great to interact with. The Doctor was obviously very busy but didn't make me feel rushed or that he was hurrying through my appointment to get to the next patient. I am very pleased with the result of my visit and am glad that I went to Dr. Baskar.
