Dr. Bakul Ramakant Dave, MD

Congradulations Dr. Dave on your retirement. You are the most kind and helpful Doctor I have met in my 84 years. Joan Kemp

Very happy with Dr Bakul! Knowledgeable, explained next steps to relieve my pain. I recommend! His technicians made me feel very comfortable before the procedure!

I had waited month's just to see Dr. Dave! Yes, the day before I went to see him I had taken (2) of my husband's pain pills that he had just gotten for the wrist they operated on at the V.A. I had been on nothing for month's before that visit so I DID mess up the 1st time, he agreed to have a follow up visit that I THOUGHT was to offer me the second chance I deserved simply because I was to have major back surgery in one month (the 12th of this month! He actually told me to cancel my back surgery because he wouldn't help me. WOW, either he is in trouble with the fed's OR he is just an uncaring individual.

I have disks gone in my lower back . I thought I would be a candidate for the spinal cord stimulation but he read my x-rays etc . Showed me my all my tests l had done went over everything and explained all problems. And said I wasn’t a candidate for the spinal cord. And said l needed surgery on my back told us my surgery doctor was great doctor. He has great bed side manners , and took his time and went over all my health history with my back etc . We a very nice doctor and knows his what he’s doing. He examined me as well.

I was very impressed with the divot very friendly answers all my questions not to mention the nurses and X-ray technician was the icing on the cake receptionists were so attentive and friendly this crew was awesome the long wait time was was worth every minute the procedure was fast and they really cared can not say enough about all this group of peole

I liked Dr. Dave and his staff. He was courteous as well as his staff. I went to him for a special procedure to have a "nerve block"placed in my back. He performed a trial procedure which was to last one week to see if I received any pain relief. After one week, I returned to his office to tell him the "nerve block" did not reach the pain site in my thigh so the procedure was cancelled.

Everyone's body functions at its own pace. This Dr believes everyone's body should metabolize the same and they don't. Some take much longer. I am one that does. I had been on an opiate for years that wasn't working so he gave me a different one. I still tested positive for the one I'd been on 3 weeks later but every single pill was accounted for from the time I started the new one but instead of LISTENING TO ME, he just decided to cut me off completely. Had he made a simple phone call to my Fam Dr who did blood work he'd have found out my thyroid was way off and that is what runs your metabolism but he didn't care. He was convinced I was still taking the old script even tho every single pill was there. I swore on my children's lives I hadn't taken any but he didn't believe me. How can you treat a patient like that when they have the proof right there??? Worst Dr it has ever been my displeasure to waste my time and money on. Do not waste your time here. Plus before you see him you have… to see this snarky psychiatrist who evaluates you based on one visit? Money hungry and a waste of time.

He doesn't listen to you at all. He thinks all people are alike and their bodies function alike. WRONG. No 2 people are alike. People metabolize drugs in their system differently especially if they don't drink a lot of fluids or have a liver disease. He does not care about that I had been on a certain pain medication for 15 years I was also given six units of blood during surgery in 1984 when they did not test for hepatitis aids etc. Just recently I found out I have hepatitis C which means my liver does not function normally and does not metabolize drugs quickly it stays in my system a lot longer than normal people. I had a bad feeling about this doctor the first time I saw him I should have gone with my gut instinct. He put me on a different medication I told him it was not enough it wasn't working for weeks ago but I tested positive today is ago for the same medication that I got off of 4 weeks ago. His nurse just called me and said he will not write me any more prescriptions… for the pain medication but he would treat me with herbal medications. I said I swear on my children's lives I have not taken anything but what he gave me. I can't help how my body metabolizes drugs and she said that should have been out of your system within a week and I said you better do some more research on it because it can take up to 30 days to get out of your system when you've been on it for 15 Years. And I said he's fired. I would not recommend him to a dog on the street because he does not listen to you he does what he wants to do whether you like it or not he does not care about helping you or the Hippocratic oh he took to help you and if you continue to go to him or decide to go to him may God be with you is all I can say. He is the worst doctor I have ever been to in my life and I have had 20 surgeries on my stomach alone five surgeries on my leg and I have never ran into a doctor this bad at listening to what the patient is saying. We know our bodies better than anyone but he doesn't care about that in my opinion he needs to smuggle himself back to the Country he smuggled himself over here on

Great Doctor!! Bedside manner perfect!! I saw Dr Dave three years ago for the first time for my terrible lower back pain and he recommend a cortisone spinal injection to help bring down the inflammation and hopefully help my chronic pain and it did!! I just got my second injection three years later!! I am hoping this injection keeps me pain free for the next three years!! The injection is not pleasant and I experienced certain side effects ,insomnia , rapid heart rate, blood pressure elevated but only for a short time. It's well worth the sacrifice to live without constant chronic back and hip pain!!
