The office staff was very friendly and professional. I think I waited for 3 minutes before I was called in by the PA. The PA and the doctor were very friendly and the doctor took the time explaining in detail everything that was going on. I highly recommend this doctor for anyone with issues with their spine.

Not to sound dramatic but I don’t think I have ever had a more positive experience in a doctors office than I did when seeing Dr. Basra. I was really discouraged about seeing a doctor about my back because I felt like I was too young to be having back problems, I did not know if they would be taken seriously. From the second I walked in I felt the liveliness and comfort that radiates throughout the office. The receptionist greeted me with a warm welcome, the medical assistant who brought me to the room provided great conversation and made me feel comfortable, the X-ray tech was lively and fun and made me smile, and Dr. Barsa was thorough and down to earth- he broke down everything into common terms making it easy to understand. Dare I say I even had fun?? I left feeling confident about my avenue for treatment and am excited to return back! I know I’m in good hands here. Thanks Dr. B!!!!!!
