The professional attention and supportive attitude made my experience 1000 times the best. Customer service is outstanding and welcoming from doctor’s team. The doctor listened carefully to my questions and provided me with practical guidance and instructions for a swift recovery. I’m am glad to be in hands of Dr. Christopher Behr and associates. I will not hesitate to recommend them and to continue using Dr. Behr’s team if needed in the future. Thank you doctor Behr for raising the standard of medical care no more than ever. My God continue to bless your team.

The staff and doctors are so nice and friendly. They are very helpful and knowledgeable. I was able to get a shot for my back pain at the first appointment. The doctor explained everything to me in detail. I know when and if I can have back surgery, pain management and physical therapy. I had my 2 year old grandson with me and he was having a fit. The staff were so helpful and understanding with me. Most doctors would have made me reschedule my appointment. Came in stressed out and in pain, left happy and with pain relief injection.

Although there is often a wait past the appointment time at this busy medical practice, Dr. Tanaka and all the support staff are helpful, informative, and a pleasure to deal with—given that the patients are facing sometimes very serious medical problems.

I went to see Dr. Bawa after having back issues for years from herniated discs. His office staff and assistants were courteous and prompt. Dr. Bawa reviewed my medical records and MRI results. He did some physical tests on me, took some x-rays and thoroughly explained his evaluation of my condition. No extra info or confusing 'what if's', just to the point and easy to understand info. He ordered me a back brace to use during exertion activities. All of this and I was in and out of his office within 1 hour of arriving. I appreciate his knowledge and efficiency. I'm confident if I need surgery in the future, I'm in good hands.
