This practice is fantastic. From Dr. Bakus to her staff I have nothing but positive thoughts. They…read moreare friendly, professional, courteous, and always convey genuine care. I recently had a health emergency for which a trip to the emergency room resulted in nothing. No care, no prescription, no relief, no diagnosis and inadequate testing. I went to see Dr. Bakus as a walk in the next day and was diagnosed and treated within hours despite it being a holiday weekend. She has stayed on top of the situation. I appreciate the whole spectrum of medicine practiced from modern, to Eastern and in between. Dr. Bakus is thorough, caring and empathetic. Her staff is equally wonderful. They greet you with caring and always remember your situation. The facilities are always immaculate. If I could give a 10 star rating I would.

We are…read morealways treated with care and respect, and Dr. Bakus is very sweet and takes her time to try and get to the bottom of any issues. She has had some turnover with staff, but that is common with any new business. The staff that is there now is very helpful and kind. I would not hesitate to recommend this practice to others.

I have been a pain management patient for a few years and had a previous Doctor that I dreaded seeing every month. When I was blessed enough to be switched to Dr. Fernandez I was nervous, but he quickly put me at ease and now having to go to the doctor isn't so bad. The staff are always friendly and polite. There's always a bit of a wait, but it's not too bad and he's definitely worth it!

THE DOCTOR WHO IS AT THIS PAIN MEDICINE INSTITUTE NOW TREATED ME HORRIBLY. I'm a responsible…read moreperson; my family has been in this area for decades; and I'm a former award-winning teacher. I'm not a young kid, and I don't take pills to try to get high. I have had major back pain since I broke my hip with a very bad twisted type of break. When one has had a major trauma to their body, other problems can easily begin... such as arthritis, etc. Arthritis has been terrible, along with other pain producing problems. What I think might be sciatica (sorry for the spelling), began a while back, and is the worst pain I've ever experienced. Whether it's sciatica or something else, this pain makes it impossible to stand or walk more than a few steps without HAVING to sit down for a minute or so before being able to once again stand or walk. It continues happening, so often it makes it impossible to go anywhere, or even do much around the house. I got an appt. at this office with only doctor there (whose last name starts with G ), and waited nearly 3 weeks for the appt. They require their patients to fill out 15 or 16 pages of personal information, which I did, being completely honest. They also require their patients to arrive 30 minutes prior to their actual appt. time. Finally, the day of my appointment arrived, and of course there was a long time in the waiting room. After finally being led back into one of their little rooms, and answering again all the questions on their papers, the guy told me the doctor would be in in just a minute. A while more of waiting, and then a girl came in to tell me that Dr. G. didn't think I was a good fit for what he did!!!!!!!!! She couldn't really tell me why, except to say that he liked to use physical therapy, etc. in his practice. Well, why in the heck wasn't I told that when I called for the appt. 3 weeks ago? If so, I could have found another doctor, and not have wasted 3 weeks waiting for absolutely nothing!!!! So here I am, having waited 3 weeks for the appt. with a pain doctor whose job, I thought, was to try to alleviate his patient's pain... But he didn't think 'we were a good match', so now I have to start all over again to find a doctor, get an appt., and wait to see that doctor. I was unable to drive to my appt., so I had to get a friend to leave work to take me across town for this "non-appointment." Not only did I waste my own time,,, but I wasted the time of a good friend who should have been at work rather than sitting in a doctor's office for no reason! My friend heard a gentleman come out from his appt., talking about how unhappy he was with Doctor G. and his appt.... that he would never be back, and that he was going to find another doctor. What's happening with the Hippocratic Oath these days?
