Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Great and Passionate Physician

Dr Basha treated my high blood pressure and chest pain at the hospital. He was quick to see us and we waited less than 10 minutes from the time we came in until we saw the doctor. He gave me a complete work-up and, when I was discharged, I felt relieved that I was on my way to better health

Dr. Basha is a kind and compassionate doctor. I had a visit to the ER due to elevated blood sugar and a gout flare up. Dr. Basha quickly saw me and explained the process of my treatment every step of the way. He explained to me the benefits of the medication and the efficacy of the treatment. He also provided education on how to prevent future gout attacks.

I will never allow this doctor within 6 miles of me. Disrespectful....accused me of being a liar and a drug addict. Totally incompetent.

Betty Borsukoff in Mocanaqua PA – Dec 28, 2016
×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Basha?
Went to Berwick ER because I was having difficulty breathing and passed out. Dr. Basha accused me of being on drugs, and refused to do any tests until I did a drug test. After that was passed, he took my blood then discharged me, laughing, telling me that I had an exercise induced bronchial spasm. Mind you this was at 01:00AM on a Sunday morning. I went home and spent the night awake gasping for air until my family doctor opened in the morning, where I was properly diagnosed and treated.
