“Dr. Bakir was incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and not at all dismissive of my concerns. She broke down what was going on in my body in easy-to-understand ways, and was very comforting. I would 100% recommend her to anyone in need of a cardiology consultation or anything in the cardiology realm. I feel so much better after our appointment. It is evident how much she really cares about not only her patients, but people in general. We need more doctors like her in the world! ”

“Excellent cardiologist, she answered all my questions we talked about my family and everything I was concerned about we went over my blood test that I brought in. It's very good experience and my assignment is to get a calcium score scan to see if my arteries are clogged up. I'm 69 and I would see her again. Thank you!”

Hands down the most cared for I’ve ever felt by a medical professional. Took over 60 minutes with me on my initial visit to talk with me, explain tests and results and answer all questions.
