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.

I'm an old patient of his but...
I loved Dr Bakik the first time he was my pain Dr and was hoping I could start seeing him again. Its been a lot of years and, of course, my pain increases as I get older. Also have had a small cancerous tumor on my bladder. They surely don't make phyaicians like him anymore....

First lower back felt better after 10 days. I was happy. Next neck literally left me paralyzed on the table for a long time. Then they put me in a wheelchair ! This was Nov. 14 and I now have to use a walker!!!! The staff is incompetent . Office looks dim, low lighting.

One of the most empathetic and caring doctors I know! Chronic pain affects all aspects of my life and he has listened to me and done what is best for me. I appreciate his patience and professionalism. I have been to other pain specialists and felt like they could care less what I go through! Most were concerned with ordering their lunch! Never have I felt neglected or criticized by Dr Bakit

I was a former patient of Dr Cyrus Bakhit. Before he left to Kentucky. The last text I saw him was in June of 2018. I would like to know if he is back in the Roanoke area. I really would love to have him treat me again. Soon as he left he had found the right place for my injections. I really could use his help again.

Dr Bakhit is the best of the best. He kept me working 14 years longer than I would've been able to without the various procedures he's done. It took a good while to get me down to where a few procedures on an ongoing basis kept me going - and during that time I was so afraid my 'next' visit he was going to say "we've done all we can do" but I will never forget the day he leaned forward and said "if you don't give up on me I won't give up on you." And he didn't. Those words changed my life and his persistence kept me working for 14 more years. I'm very thankful for this wonderful physician! And now, at full staff again, the office and nurses are again timely, efficient and there when you need them. Highly recommend Dr. Bakhit.

He's back in Roanoke and practicing as of 1/7/19! I am a 14 year patient and have never had a better doctor. He is kind, patient, always spends an appropriate amount of time discussing current issues and treatment plan, he's gentle and careful with procedures and explains every step so you aren't taken by painful surprise, works with me in all my research when I ask about trying this or that as I'm very involved in my healthcare. He's great and I highly recommend him, always.

I had an MRI. I got a copy that showed I have two bulges and lesions on my ovaries. Bakhit said there were no bulges and didn't mention the lesions on my ovary. He treats me like a drug seeker when I'm in constant pain. Lesions r polycyclic ovarian. Causing pain he doesn't think I have! Why don't Drs listen? I just want to have my life back!!

Dr . Bakhit is a Wonderful Doctor and a patient of his for 8yrs. Staff is rude. They don't listen to patient or Doctors orders. As a Single mom to 3 the Office Manger Cristine M. Decides she is going to discharge me because she doest know how to return calls and I owe a small balance. Which I have no income at this time. But they want. One of my family members credit cards on file. He needs a new office staff. Its sad when you have to call Main head quarters.

I have been seeing Dr. Bakhit for over 3 years now. I have had level 3 fusions in my neck and my low back. As one who has had these surgeries knows, the discs above and below the fusion can cause problems years after. Dr. Bakhit helps me keep moving with the many procedures he can perform to stop pain or at least get it down to a manageable state. He's very kind and caring but he isn't one to linger and talk. He gets the job done and answers all of my questions. I highly recommend him.
