October 09, 2025UNIVERSITY HOSPITALWe love Dr B. Kind, careing, knowledgeable. He treats myself and my daughter as people, instead of just a check on the to do list. We are amazed with him in every visit!
September 07, 2025UNIVERSITY HOSPITALI loved that he came to check in on me towards the end of the visit and really just checked in on me and made sure I had no questions or anything. It made me feel especially cared for
August 15, 2025UNIVERSITY HOSPITALDr Bjella is the best Dr I could ever ask for. Not o my has he cared about every individual need of my son, but he allowed me to feel confidence in caring for a 4 lb preemie as a first time mom. He has been with us every step of the way and I couldn't have done it without him.

January 03, 2025UNIVERSITY HOSPITALVery kind and courteous. Felt uncomfortable when he muttered to the medical student that he hadn't prescribed my child's medication for a long time and could remember the correct dosage.
December 20, 2024UH HOSPITALS AND CLINICSHe was great. He checked her out and made a few jokes with her, and then confirmed what the other doctor had said.
November 20, 2024UH HOSPITALS AND CLINICSDr. Bjella keeps up on the science of pediatrics, listens patiently, cares deeply, and makes decisions carefully (with our input). Couldn't ask for a better provider!
November 08, 2024UH HOSPITALS AND CLINICSDr. Bjella is amazing. He's so great at making sure parents feel heard. Appts never feel rushed and I never feel dumb or annoying for asking questions.
