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.

She’s rude and has a attitude
Her attitude is so nasty. She made me felt so uncomfortable and like a liar. Never again.

My name is Devi. Dr. Bharara is my pcp for years now. She had been my pcp. She is one of the mistress renound physician in her field. Her honestly is refreshing and should only be construed as good physician care. Her directives are made based on knowledge and years of expertise. I feel it is a previlage to have her taking care of my health.

Horrible Doctor I've ever seen in my life. She got attitude problems and she's very judgmental. Lack of communication skills. When I didn't understand her queries couple of time she reacted very rudely. Furthermore when I was explaining my health issues to her one by one she said look I don't have time to listen all your health issues, I got patients waiting outside. Is this any kind of professionalism? The worst of the worst Doctor I've seen in my life and I'm going to make an official complain

Wasn't pleased at all. Very Judgemental as soon as I met her! Its her way or the highway. Lack of communication skills, one way! She was ready to dismiss me as a patient, "I cannot choose you as your provider"! this was said by her several times for compliance when she didn't know my background. It was my first time meeting her. She spoke of her medical condition n said she doesn't understand why I'm taking such drugs because she doesn't. wouldn't recommend her to a dog.

I have been seeing Dr. Bharara for over 10 years and there are no other hands I would rather rest my health in than her and her staff. She really takes the time to clearly explain my health to me at appointments. One of the things I appreciate about her the most is that she is very honest. Don't get me wrong, she is the most caring physician you will ever have, but she will not sugarcoat it for you. She truly wants the best for her patients and will do all it takes to ensure their health.
