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.

There is more than meets the eye.
I came into the emergency with a strangulated abdominal hernia. I requested Dr. Bhandari and they called him at home that evening to schedule emergency surgery first thing in the morning. Boom before I knew it I woke up all fixed with minimal pain and up walking that day. Unfortunately, I had more complications. The next morning Dr. Bhandari came to discuss the operation's success, asked how I was feeling then introduced me to another Dr. They explained I needed more blood tests and a biopsy on a lymph node on the backside of my liver to see what type of cancer I may have. Very thankful Dr. Bhandari could recognize I had more going on and to take further action. I'm still alive a year later and may start treatment soon with low doses of chemo. One day at a time. The good news is it's called small B cell Lympnopha that grows slowly. If, anything has to be removed or fixed Dr. B is my go-to surgeon. Thank you Doc

Dr Bhandari assessed our teenage daughter - diagnosed the appendix and performed emergency surgery. He swung into action as if the surgery was a piece of cake. Thankfully, Dr Bhandari and Atlantic Surgical were on duty - our daughter made a swift and full recovery. Thank you!

Dr Bhandari is a great surgeon. He saved my life when I had emergency surgery for perferated colon. He explained everything he was going to do. He also did a reversal on my colostomy. This is a tough operation any way you look at it. I thank GOD every day for Dr Bhandari.

I was admitted into the hospital on 2/20/19 and Dr. Bhandari was assigned to my case. This man is a true Godsend! I required major unexpected surgery and from the second he met me until he released me from his care in May, he was the most compassionate, caring and most understanding doctor I've ever experienced. He listened to me and understood my fears as I had no idea what was happening to me and he didn't jump to cut into me. He was so thorough with testing and made sure the best plan of action for my condition was carried out. I owe my life to this man and would recommend him to anyone who needs his services. His office staff is also amazing and took care of any paperwork and filings I needed. I am so thankful that Dr. Bhandari was the surgeon on call when I needed help! I was never more scared in my life, but he put my fears at ease when he told me he was going to take good care of me and make me well again. AND THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT HE DID! Thank you, Dr. Bhandari!!

Saw him in ER. He ordered tests. I was admitted and he treated me conservely. In just a few days he knew I had to have surgery. Which was his last option. I had a difficult time post OP, but I am still here and can only praise him. Wants to see me in a year.

Dr. Bhandari is a genius that saved my life. He is a gift from God. When many other doctors had no idea what was wrong with me- Dr. Bhandari knew immediately surgery was necessary. What a guy... He was a life saver. Literally. Therese Good- Irabli.

Please don't call Dr. BHANDARI garbage. He is a he is a knowledgeable, professional person who visited every day even though very busy. I was hospitalized in November of 2017 and required surgery, which I refused, due to my husband's illness. Dr. BHANDARI understood and did not try to push me. Explained why I needed the surgery and what to do in the interval. My husband has since passed away and I will take Dr. Bhandari's advice.

Never ever use the services of this garbage person. He showed up in my hospital room without my request or permission for less than 5 minutes per visit for the 8 days I was in the hospital and never talked to me. Not about options or my status. Out of the blue one day he asked “uh so do you want surgery?” I said no as he hadn’t given a reason as to why I would want surgery. He charged me $1600+ for each of these “consultations” and now I have a bill for just under $15,000. >6mo income for me

Dr. Bhandari performed emergency surgery on me for a perforated colon and accompanying complications. Was very lucky that he was the surgeon on call at the time. I was very lucky that's he was chosen as my surgeon. He saved my life. I would definitely recommend him. He is an excellent surgeon and caring, concerned human being.
