Nov 2001

I have had Dr. Bakal as my primary doctor for several years & really like him. I am very particular in who I select and have had several awful docs since I moved here. As I have worked in both clinical health & health research for 20+ years, who "knows their stuff" is critical. In addition, I wanted a practitioner who had informal bedside manner and would work with me, knowing that I also use a variety of other healing practices, e.g. accupunture, chiropractic, etc. For instance, Dr. Bakal referred my migraines treatment to clinician using biofeedback (which I wanted) instead of opting only for medications, which are cheaper and I have tried with varying success. The only downside I found is it's a busy practice. Martha
