I have been employed in healthcare for 40 years. Healthcare administration for over 25 years and my experience as a patient was the best I have ever witnessed, and I felt so respected, so listened to and incorporated into the treatment and decision making process! Dr Bajzer is a superb specialist and professional in every way. I learned a tremendous amount of information about my current condition and our path forward in my treatment. I felt encouraged, educated, respected, and looking forward to my next treatment steps under Dr Bajzer's care. It was not just a 5 out 5, it was a 100 out of 100! What a fine, kind, and wonderful gentleman and top tier Cardiac Specialist.Thank you Dr. Bajzer!
