  • I WAS VERY IMPRESSED WITH THE DOCTOR'S KNOWLEDGE, HER FRIENDLY PERSONALITY, AND THE FACT THAT I LEFT HER OFFICE FEELING BETTER THAN WHEN I WENT IN. I GOT ANSWERS I NEEDED . SHE LISTENED TO ME AND MY QUESTIONS WITHOUT HESITATION. SHE MADE ME FEEL THAT I AM ON THE WAY TO A COMPLETE RECOVERY FROM MY INJURY. I HOPE IT STAYS THAT WAY!!!!

  • I have seen a lot of neurologists since my seizures started about 14-15 years ago. Dr. Basovic is by far the best doctor I have seen. She listens to me, doesn't rush me, explains things in a way I can understand, and really just defines what a doctor with a good bedside manner should be.
