The doctor I saw was fantastic.

Had great bedside manners. Very comfortable.

Once again I am happy and confident in my choice to move all my care to Wellstar. Dr. B patiently explained my treatment options, reassured me that there are ameliorating treatments and diagnostics to better address the symptoms that lead to my spending 5 days in the hospital.

Dr. Bukhari is a treasure because he really listens and doesnt immediately leap to conclusions and is smart enough to say, "I don't know, but we can try X, and meet again next month." It's refreshing as a 52 year old woman to not get condescended to about what I'm experiencing.

Dr. Bukhari always takes the time to listen to my concerns. He explains everything so I can understand. I feel he genuinely cares and I'm not just a number, which is rare in healthcare these days. The medical assistant, Constance, was very kind. She explained what to expect about upcoming procedure. Alia in the front office was efficient and helpful as well. I always have a wonderful experience with this provider's office and absolutely would recommend. Dr. Bukhari has changed my life with the plan of care we developed. I had been struggling with stomach issues for so long, since childhood. He really took the time to help me get relief. I am forever grateful for him & his staff!

Dr. Bukhari was awesome. He did such a great job of listening to me, of really thinking through my symptoms and what I need, and has always just been gone above and beyond. And I'm so happy to have him as my provider and doctor. So please tell him thank you.

Everyone involved: Alia at the front desk, Constance the MA, and the doctor himself exhibited top-notch bedside manner. Not once did I feel rushed or dismissed. Every detail I provided to seek care was treated with respect and genuine attention. I had reached a dead-end with four other gastroenterologist practices but this one has given me hope.
