Before working with Dr. Bakir, I was experiencing tightness in my chest and had been referred for a series of tests to understand what was going on. I learned that I had a very high calcium score, which meant I needed to be under the care of a highly skilled cardiologist. My OBGYN referred me to Dr. Bakir, and I am so grateful she did.Day-to-day, I tried to carry on normally, but emotionally I was distraught — especially because I’m only 47, eat extremely healthy, and exercise 6–7 days a week. It was frustrating to realize that stress and genetics were still working against me.Before starting with Dr. Bakir, my biggest fear was not being in the right hands. I wanted a cardiologist I could trust — someone responsive, caring, and available when I had questions. I was also nervous that I might not see her in person, but I quickly realized that virtual communication via text and Zoom is not only sufficient, it’s actually incredibly convenient.During my work with her, I was genuinely surprised at how holistic and progressive her approach is to women’s health. She goes far beyond traditional cardiology. I would describe her as a blend of cardiologist and internist. She also advised me on my physical and nutritional health. Even though I already considered myself very healthy, I learned I wasn’t getting nearly as much fiber as I needed, and I wasn’t doing the level of weight training that would really support my long-term health. Her guidance in these areas was eye-opening and empowering.She made thoughtful, proactive recommendations regarding supplements and medications to protect my cardiovascular health, which I hadn’t previously understood. And she moved mountains to get Repatha approved for me in a single day. Statins wouldn’t have worked in my case, and I know people who have waited six months or more for the same medication. Her sense of urgency and advocacy truly stand out.The results have been incredible. Physically, I feel so much better and my LDL dropped by more than 50 points in just the first three months on the medication. My energy, mood, and clarity have improved, and I have peace of mind knowing my heart health is being managed thoughtfully and proactively.To anyone on the fence about working with Dr. Bakir, I would say this: she is exceptionally intelligent, caring, thoughtful, and direct which I deeply appreciate. She operates with a true sense of urgency and always respects your preferences and pace. She has also gone above and beyond for me, even on the rare occasions I needed help on a weekend.I know I am in the best possible hands for the most serious health condition I’ve ever faced — and there is nothing more important than that.

My life prior to being Dr. Bakir patient was one of a stroke, with not good results from my Dr. of three years. With all the medication given I felt terrible with negative side effects from five differs medications.My hesitation to hire Dr. Bakir was the fact her practice was on the other side of from Florida, Chicago!Well if you ever wound up in the hospital no immediate Dr will not attend but the resident Dr at the hospital will , then your Dr. will be called so that settle that.What suprise me with Dr. Bakir was that she would answer my text no more with one hour .

I want to express my deepest gratitude to my cardiologist Dr Bakir for the exceptional care I’ve received. From the very first appointment,she treated me with compassion, patience, and professionalism. I was having trouble with shortness of breath my blood pressure was fluctuating and I was alway feeling tired and I had a lot of joint pain. I always kept that to myself because none of my doctors would listen to me they would always say every thing was fine , but I did not feel fine. But Dr Bakir took the time to truly listen to my concerns. She explain to me what we needed to do and why . She was there for me and reassure me when I was worried. My blood pressure is under control, I have less joint pain my anxiety is also much better and the shortness of breath is gone. She doesn’t only care for your heart but all of you. I was diagnosed with breast cancer and she helped me get through that also.Her expertise and dedication have made a remarkable difference in my health and quality of life. I feel stronger, more confident, and feel truly cared for. It is rare to find a doctor who combines such skill with genuine kindness. I am incredibly grateful for everything she has done for me and my family. It’s still a work in progress .I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone seeking a cardiologist who truly puts their patients first.

Dr. Bakir is one of the best! I was sick for almost a year and Doctors kept saying it was anxiety. I lost so much weight had a ton of palpitations, high heart rate, shortness of breath and a ton of other symptoms finally they diagnosed me with cardiomyopathy after one long year. My local heart Dr brushed it off and said just take this medicine and you will be fine. He brushed me off and wouldn’t explain to me what was going on and why my symptoms were always worse around my period time. So I decided to find a female cardiologist Dr. Bakir when she was with a Hospital in Chicago. She took her time to explain everything to me spent a long time with me reviewing all my testing and explaining and answering any of my question. She sent me for more testing and monitors me more than any other doctor has. I have decided to follow her and keep my care with her. Since she opened Infinity Heart Health I’m so thankful I continued my care. I have called for concerns and she is always willing to answer my question send texts or emails to check in to make sure everything is going well or if there is anything I need. If you are struggling with your health being ignored/pushing your symptoms off by your local Doctors than Dr. Bakir is the one to see! She will help find out what is wrong and get you on the right track! I’m so thankful for her and her care!!

Dr. Bakir was incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and not at all dismissive of my concerns. She broke down what was going on in my body in easy-to-understand ways, and was very comforting. I would 100% recommend her to anyone in need of a cardiology consultation or anything in the cardiology realm. I feel so much better after our appointment. It is evident how much she really cares about not only her patients, but people in general. We need more doctors like her in the world!

I’ve never had a doctor take as much time with me as Dr. Bakir did. She went over my medical history in detail and connected the dots between my symptoms. I feel so much better now!
