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.

My previous physician (for 20 years) is located five minutes from my house. I realized last year, however, that competence, compassion, and respect for one's patients matters infinitely more than convenience. That is why I chose Dr. Bhandari and chose to drive 30 minutes for each appointment. I couldn't be happier with the choice. My only regret is that I waited so long to get the personal, yet highly professional and thorough, health care everyone rightfully deserves.

I was a patient of Dr. Bhandari for many years. She was always very efficient when diagnosing any issues found. She was always knew what I needed to improve my health. For instance she kept up on vaccinations and procedures needed to keep me healthy. I trust her and the care she has provided. I recently moved to Nashville and in the process of looking for a physician have not been able to find someone like Dr. Bhandari.
