Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

I was thrilled with the care I received from Dr. Bajaikan. She made sure I'm at ease throughout the entire procedure, and she was so gentle and kind. The actual work she did was so professional, quick, and thorough. I appreciated her expertise and her exceptional disposition. I highly recommend her to anyone looking to have an amazing experience getting rid of their vericose veins.

Dr. Danielle Bajakian and her staff is well organized and caring. Dr. Bajakian made me feel comfortable as she performed surgery. She explained the step by step procedure clearly and I felt confident that i was in great hands under Dr. Bajakian. I liked that she welcomed any questions from me and her answers and feedback were honest, helpful, and meaningful. Both her assistance during the surgery were also very friendly and highly knowledgeable. I appreciate the great medical support services that were of highest quality. The front desk is helpful and friendly too. Thank you.

Excellent surgical outcome
I needed a high-risk open surgery on a major artery. I had read the medical literature on this surgery, and it cites high rates of complications. Dr. Bajakian performed it: it went as well as it possibly could have, no complications, and recovery was smooth. Throughout it all, Dr. Bajakian and her staff responded promptly to my concerns. I highly recommend her: she is extremely knowledgeable, expertly skilled, and communicative - hears and answers all questions. She has given me my life back.

Doctor not helped by poor office support
Dr Bajakian may be very competent but the office is absolutely horrible with respect to providing information especially when coordinating with Visiting Nurse Services that Colombia Doctors has follow-up outsourced to. The office reception doesn't communicate well. On-staff nurses/medical assistants are nice. The cheapening of healthcare system - not quality care overall.

Don’t give up hope, there is always a solution.
Dr. Bajakian has treated me for six years now. I am astounded by any negative reviews of her? Her staff is warm and friendly and her vascular knowledge is beyond compare. I suffer from PAD, so because of that, I continue to have ongoing treatment with her. She takes the time to explain, not just myself, but includes my wife in her diagnosis and plan of treatment. We both trust her, and she never promised a cure, but her strategy is to manage and prolong the progression of the disease. You can not please some people, but she sure pleased us with her bedside manor and her explanation of what she thinks the options are moving forward. Thank you Dr. Bajakian , for all that you have done and continue to do for us.

Can’t actually speak about the doctor herself as I never saw her. Made an appointment for 2pm weeks in advance. Got to the office a little before 2. Another girl checked in right after me with a 2:30 appointment. We both waited an hour then asked how much longer it would be. They tell me my appointment is 3:15. Uh no I even have an email from them saying 2pm. Well they tell me whoops they must’ve changed it without calling you. I got my copay back and left. I’ll find a different doctor. So glad I wasted 2 hours of my time and $5.50 in subway fare for nothing. If you value your time don’t bother with this doctor. A doctor is only as good as her staff plus she was running over an hour behind schedule - there are a million other doctors in the city I’ll find one that can keep to a schedule.

I consider Dr Bajakian my guardian angel. She prevented amputation of my foot after I had been told it was my only option. She has treated me for 5 yrs now and brought me back to health from a very low place. I have and always will trust her with my life. You couldn't be in better hands.

If it weren't for Dr. Bajakian, my father would have lost his leg. She was able to save him and I really believe that if it weren't for her, he would not be with us here today. She is extremely knowledgeable and I would recommend her in a heart beat, to anyone I know. She also has great bed side manners and you can tell she genuinely cares. Thank you so much Dr. Bajakian!!!
