This was a regular visit with a follow-up on an ultrasound she had ordered. She is very kind, caring, and knowledgeable. She has been my doctor for at least 15 years and I would highly recommend her.

This routine follow-up visit with Dr. Paola Reese Bass went very well, as always. I was seen quickly, and Dr. Bass was her normal genuinely kind and caring self.
She is consistently thorough in her patient examinations, as well as with questions regarding personal health issues and outside influences that may also be effecting it.
Dr. Bass is an extraordinary human being. I feel blessed having an Internist of her caliber and professionalism as my specialist.
I know that Dr. Bass is concerned about all aspects of my health and personal well being.
In addition, she is always cheerful, with a radiant, beaming smile and a warm “bedside manner.”

I Love Dr. Bass and she has been my doctor for 15+ years! She is caring, thorough and willing to listen to her patients. She doesn't make you feel like you are just another in a herd of patients she has to see today. Her concern is genuine.

She is one of the most patient & caring dr I have ever met in my life. Have used her for going on 17 yrs. the only dr I'll see as long as she is in town. May take a little while out in lobby to see her, but WELL worth the wait. When she gets to you she is in no hurry at all to get thru. Will talk & listen to you as long as you need.
