  Dr. Badhan has the most important quality for a good doctor — she listens.  And she makes me feel that she cares. These are qualities that can’t be taught, but are an intrinistric part of a good person. She shows a respect that makes me feel I will be better.

  I cannot say enough good things about Dr Badhan. Normally it takes years to be diagnosed with an autoimmune disease but it took one visit and lab tests to get my diagnosis. I came to her for a 2nd opinion after visiting a Rheumatologist who, after testing positive on an autoimmune blood test, told me I did not have lupus, RA w/o giving me one test. I have a close family member with 3 autoimmune diseases and symptoms that were making me miserable! Dr B took my symptoms seriously & acted accordingly and I am so grateful to be heard finally.

  It was a great experience.  Dr. Badhan was very informative,  and I felt like she was caring.  She actually listened to me.  She is gathering information and then,  we are going to make a plan for medication to help me live more comfortably with my health problems.
