Dr. Jackie is absolutely amazing! My daughter looks forward to her appointments and she has been so helpful during the OIT process. We had a bumpy road getting to the maintenance level but Dr. Jackie was so supportive and patient with us. Now after 2 years, she is showing no signs of sensitivity to her allergens and we are getting ready for our food challenge. I am so thankful for everything Dr. Jackie has done for our family.

I recommend Dr Bjelac to everyone I meet that has a child with food allergies. She is doing top of the line work with OIT. She is giving options to help things get better for people with food allergies. I feel like she talks to us as her friends and is really relatable. She really cares about your child and your concerns. She takes time to listen and doesn't rush you. If I listen all of the qualities I would want in a doctor she exceeds all expectations!

The process was seamless from the professional who checked us in and put us in the room. Then the resident followed. Dr. Bjelic then came in. She takes the time to answer all questions. She just does a great job treating our teenage boy with respect, answering his questions, and providing answers as well as sound advice in a way that is not talking down to him, but right at his level. He appreciates her visits, and she is one of his favorite doctors.
