The appointment was incredibly rushed and she delivered potentially upsetting results in such a nonchalant and rushed way that it is clear she has no understanding of how emotional the journey of pregnancy and motherhood are. Clearly a green doctor who may have the knowledge and education required but needs to work on her interactions with patients.

All I want to say is never book an appointment with her no matter what. She is not a professional doctor at all. How a doctor can be so rude with her patients. I would give 0 rating if I get the option.

In our experience, Dr. Barakat lacks empathy and bed side manners. Instead of explaining the rationale and walking us through the process, she tries to push her opinion. It almost felt like she was using fear as a tool rather than logic and reasoning in an argumentative tone. Please listen to patient’s concerns and/or questions and answer in a friendly way (remember you are talking to pregnant women who are already dealing with a lot!), do not play rapid fire questions with patients and take time to explain the process (reme... read more

Worst experience with an obgyn. Came on here to se me if others have had the same experience and they have. First time meeting her and I will switch Drs. Rushed through the appointment seemed like she had better things to do. Didn’t offer much positive advice on getting pregnant. Strictly advised seeing a fertility specialist too soon. Haven’t started trying yet. Boy she must be miserable in her own life. Other OBGYNs at other offices have made me feel welcome like family and meet in their office after the Appt to go over th... read more

That was an awful experience and I won’t be back to see her. I have a positive outlook on life and am healthy. I just went in for an annual pap test and I left feeling like I won’t be able to have kids -she claimed I’m 40 when I just turned 39 and I need to go see a fertility specialist right away to do a bunch of blood work on top of another scare. She was shocked I still get my monthly flow. I can handle brutal honesty my dad has a PHD in toxicology and my sister is a pathologist but this lady will not have my future insur... read more

She is the worst. Did not take time to see what's going on. She was as though in a rush to see more patients while not paying attention to the existing one.

I’ve never met a more clueless misinformed doctor in my life. It was actually unsettling.

My experience with Dr. Bussard was just plain bad. She was judgmental and heartless. 10 out of 10 would NOT recommend. If I could put ZERO stars, I would.

I echo other reviews about Dr. Sarin. She is not compassionate, has zero bedside manner, cuts you mid-sentence, and absolutely does not want to help you out. She said, "You won't die from a UTI. You have to wait until the weekday to get your medicine," when I was explaining to her how I experienced recurrent UTIs and needed medications over the weekend to help alleviate the unbearable pain. I only took the first appointment with her because that was the soonest one available when I was looking for OBs in my area - but I regr... read more
