Dr Bakalova-Hristov saw me just prior to surgery in the pre op srea. I was amazed by her horrible bedside manor. It was a terrible experience just prior to surgery. Do your very best not to have your surgeon use her as the anesthesiologist.

After 2+ years of bubbling and screwing up a simple insurance claim and not receiving payment they had the unmitigated gall of sending the amount to a collection agency.You have other options, choose another practice. Patients (buyer) be ware!!!

This doctor saw me before I was to be operated on. She seem detached and gave me no reassurance. The surgery was later called off by my surgeon, who took her off the case after 45 minutes of her trying to intubate me, causing bleeding and swelling in my throat. I never saw her again and don't want to.

Dr. Bakalova was very prompt and provided great medical care and anesthesia. I did not have discomfort and she made my surgery seem more like a dream.

There would be no way I would ever recommend this physician to even an enemy. The way she treats her patients is not in the least professional.
