Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Highly recommend Dr. Mhatre. Very Patient focused.
The process from scheduling, front desk check in and patient prep was very efficient and entire staff was professional and courteous.

building was clean and everything such as imaging and testing was centrally located. Therefore, travel all over town for tests was eliminated.

One of the Best
I feel very lucky to have gone from Dr. Evans to Dr. Mhatre. While I am not suffering any issues at the moment, that has not stopped Dr. Mhatre from being thorough in my care. He's really caring.Understanding that certain paperwork must be done, the check-in procedure usually results in two or three (sometimes more) trips to the Check-in window before being seen by a Dr. I don't experience this at any of my other doctor's office especially if I'm a regular patient there.

Dr. Mhatre is a great dr. he knows his patients.
He always has a good word to lift your spirits, even when you aren't feeling the best. He's about telling you options or choices that's going to make you better. He's frank but in a caring way. He has a smile when he enters the room. He's professional but shows compassion for what you are going through. I am thankful to have a Doctor who has a true concern for his patients health.

Dr Mhatre is just outstanding!
Dr Mhatre has been treating me for a significant problem, that has required coordination with another practice, and he and his staff have been incredibly caring and helpful throughout the process. He explains clearly about why and what needs to be done, and answers any questions I've brought up in an easily understood manner. I would recommend him to anyone needing the care of a cardiologist.

Heart to Heart
If I had to sum it up I’d say that as a Communications Officer in the Air Force and Master Instructor who taught for over 10 years I know a communicator and listener is when I meet one. I don’t need a cold uncaring clinician treating me. I need someone who will listen and work with me on my treatment. That’s who Dr Mhatre is.

He is awesome.
He is very knowledgable, and unlike other doctors in Bay County he can actually communicate to his patients and listen. I know he sees hundreds of patients a week but he never treats a patient as if they are just a number.
