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.

Happy to Charge You for Not Much
Went in for a first visit, talked about my current health situations and had a couple of questions about some minor concerns. Got very little to work with and then of course was dunked on for a secondary $300 charge for asking these questions. No idea where the line crossed from an annual physical to this secondary charge. Guess you gotta preface the conversation with “let me know when this is going to cost me more.”

Didn't listen to concerns and misdiagnosed all
I went to this Dr. with 3 concerns. For insomnia, he told me to drink warm milk. For a bite that has left a rash/discoloration, he told me I have athlete's foot. For my irregular heartbeat and palpitations, he told me I was fine. I'd recommend seeing someone else unfortunately.

Misdiagnosis of Common Health Issue
Dr. Bhandaru completely disregarded all of my concerns and misdiagnosed a basic, common medical issue. I was forced to go to the ER several days later, where the ER doctor diagnosed my issue with a quick glance. I was told that I would have been saved a great deal of pain and recovery time had I been diagnosed a couple days earlier.
