Wow! I am VERY impressed with Dr. Bjelac! Two allergists were recommended to me by a friend (doctor) who works at CCF. I chose Dr. Bjelac based on the reviews/comments by current patients. They were glowing - everyone recommending Dr. Bjelac, and I agree wholeheartedly. She took the time to answer all questions, made sure we understood everything that was going to be done, paused several times to ask if we understood and had more questions, seemed genuinely concerned about the welfare of my daughter, checked in on my daughter several times during testing, and explained everything along the way.

This was one of the most amazing experiences I have had with a doctor. I felt seen, heard and respected. She was thorough and knowledgeable but she relayed it in such an empathetic way. I was very emotional and she did not belittle my emotions. I could not be more satisfied. I look forward to continuing my daughter's care with her.
