Patient Reviews
Jul 22, 2020
My girlfriend had a goldtone that shredded her gallbladder. She was in so much pain the urgent care we went to belived she was having a heart attack and or was having a stroke. However Dr. Bajaj's Tremendous skill as surgeon and literal & genuine genius of his bedside manner and surgery during an outbreak/pandemic of covid-19 makes me want to cry of joy that there are people like him who excist. He made her smile! and saved her life! I cannot stress enough how much I appreciate and love this man for saving and CARE for his patient. Many doctors are not half of as of a professional in both bedside manner and skill.and I personally am a ESR for Anthem BCBS. So I will be commending him with highest reviews with as many agencies as I can. And if you are reading this Doctor Bajaj I wanted to thank you for being the best example of your peers I have ever seen and saving my girlfriend life and making her feel comfortable in such uncertain times.
