How likely are you to recommend Dr. Bessas?
Dr. Bessas is one in a MILLION. I have suffered on and off for most of my adult life from a literal crippling condition. It was interfering with my work, my family, and most of all my personal well being... He sat me down and just let me speak. Didn't interrupt, didn't speak over me, just let me speak. After WE came up with a plan,I feel like ME again. And I have no one to thank but Dr. Bessas. He is compassionate beyond comprehension. He WILL listen to you. He WILL not judge you. He WILL do everything in his power to make sure you're comfortable. This is not a Dr who tells you what you're going to do, he is a Dr who comes up with multiple options to a situation and asks you what you feel comfortable doing and or trying first. There's not enough space on here for me to tell you truly how amazing this guy is at a human level. I couldn't take the suffering much longer. I honestly don't know if I would be writing this right now if I did not meet this person. I truly feel he saved my life.
