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.

Dr. Varun Bhaskar is very professional, attentive and gives the impression to be trustworthy. He takes the time to listen and discuss health conditions in a clear manner. I have not had any issues with the front desk. However, reching his office by phone is challenging to the extent that almost nulify the good services that the doctor provides

I found Dr. Varun Bhaskar to be kind, compassionate, and well educated. He was highly regarded by the nurses attending me for a hospital procedure requiring anesthesia. He is in Palm Harbor once a week, I think. I can definitely recommend him. I agree that the front desk is horrible, and should be fired. They must belong to the doctor whose space he shares. Note: I believe an earlier reviewer had this Dr. Bhaskar confuses with with another Dr. Bhaskar with a different first name in Little Rock. That review should be removed.

Dr. Nutan Bhaskar is rude and judgmental with your issues as a patient. He judges you if you are a smoker trying to quit and offers no solutions other than a vape pen!

NO LONGER A PATIENT in Little Rock – Feb 07, 2019
×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Bhaskar?
Doctor is compassionate and attentive. HIs front office staff is horrible. Impossible to get through on phone. Curt, brusque, discourteous. Often sends calls to answering service during normal office hours. A promised referral to another clinic for an urgent issue took three calls to office staff over 6 week period. Letter sent from insurance to the office for preauthorization was not responded to, causing appointment for treatment/diagnosis was ignored, appt cancelled due to no response.

The office is difficult to reach-I spent days trying to reach a human being. The doctor did not return my call(s). The whole entire experience was very stressful-I will not be returning. In fact, the experience with this doctor and staff was more stressful then the issue

Dr. Bhashkar was called to consult at one point when I was mother to the hospital and respiratory distress. He was there at my bedside whenever I needed him no questions asked. If it wasn't for him, I don't think I would've pulled through my disease .
