Patient Testimonial
Dr. Baksh, When my wife (L) first came to you some 15 years ago, you said she should also see a cardiologist due to family history--just to keep an eye on it, you said. That care and attention has saved her life. She went to her cardiologist last week because she's not been feeling right.
They did an angiogram today. She has a complete blockage in her left artery--right looks like an 18yr olds. It’s a widow maker blockage. She’s now checked into GW awaiting a double bypass Monday morning. Instead of me writing you as a widow, they say she has a 99% chance of recovery.
I cannot thank you enough. She’s alive because of your pro-active approach to medicine. She’s alive because you listened. What you said forced her to pay more attention, to learn the signs and listen to her body. If it wasn’t for you, she would’ve died last Tues. on her way to work. Instead, she has a chance at a long life. Thank you seems inadequate, but thank you. We are forever in your debt.
