Very happy with both doctors.
I'm a highly educated person with some background knowledge in the medical field and I continually complete research on my rare vascular disorder. However, I often feel that the provider is condescending with me. He will often tell me how there are other patients that are worse off than I am. I fully understand and believe that is the case. However, the genetic disease that I suffer from is rare and highly unpredictable with many dire consequences. I'm a generally positive person and tend to be a "glass half full" kind of gal. Therefore I do not appreciate my provider minimizing my feelings of concern about my health and that of my young family. I have watched too many people in my family die from complications from this disease at very young ages. Therefore, being continually told that "it could be worse" from my provider is not what I need to hear. My health concerns are valid and I don't appreciate them being minimized. Myself and my boys are regular visitors to several different specialists at Stanford and LPCH. We as a family have been going through quite a bit with myself having over 6 surgeries in the last year, countless clinic visits, infusion treatments, lab work, MRIs, CT scans, echo cardiograms, and the list goes on and on and on and on. I feel that the provider is EXTREMELY knowledgeable, friendly, and I thoroughly appreciate all his time and patience spent with me. However, I do not appreciate him minimizing my current health needs, and telling me "it could be worse." Because right now what our family is going through is ridiculously overwhelming and stressful, and we are fully aware of how worse it can get.
Good experience.
My doctor was very knowledgeable and concerned about what was or is going on with my health and what we need to do.
I felt very informed.
I consider Dr. Brar to be an outstanding provider and have the utmost confidence in him!
I was very pleased.
I would have appreciated a short comment in MyHealth about the abnormal blood test results that this doctor ordered, given that any blood related cancer, that may be associated with my previous chemo and radiation, would be very hard to treat. I was pretty anxious when I saw that test result.
I felt he didn't want to discuss the likelihood of me having CLL until further testing. He did not call me with results; a nurse did and I did not feel confident with her answers (she was hesitant).
I saw Dr. Brar for only about 1/2 hour and it was my first visit with him -
Wow! I experienced the BEST care from the first guy I saw & Dr. Brar!! Thank you for taking so much time with me! You def. care about your patients!
It was an outstanding experience. The explanation of my disease was very thorough - as well as the treatment necessary.
Everyone at Dr. Brar's clinic are wonderful. Everything is like a clock work. And they gave a great care.
Dr. Brar is perfect. Does he take personal thank you's by email??
All very good.
The "fellow" was excellent gave me additional information.
Very good.
Not relevant.
Dr. Brar is one of the nicest, most competent doctors you have!
Very excellent experience. Thank you!
He seemed really nervous. Very nice guy though - He obviously cared although not very familiar w/care until in room.
Dr. Brar was/is wonderful. He is patient, friendly, skilled, etc., I have a very complex case that no one could figure out and I am finally confident he is going to figure out the puzzle and put all the pieces together.
He is a reliable nice medical doctor!
