Dr Basich is someone who practices the art and science of medicine. She always listens to me as a patient, explains the latest medical research in terms I can understand, and translates my lab work into prescriptions and an overall action plan.

Dr Basich has fantastic bed side manners, she listens to your concerns and addresses them helping you understand options, care, or even when changes aren’t necessary. I avoided going to the Dr as much as possible because years back Dr Basich left to start her own family and I had to switch to providers never being happy, so when I saw she was back I instantly scheduled my annual and took care of all the items needed so that I am healthy. Thank you Dr Basich for returning to your patients!!!!’

Dr. Basich shows a genuine care for her patients that you don’t often find in the wider healthcare realm. She is thorough and very knowledgeable. Her competence as a family care physician is second to none. Dr. Basich has been completely engaged in all aspects of my health and wellness for many years. I would highly recommend her as a Primary Care Physician or as part your care team.
