Last visit with this Dr. Dr. Bhat does not listen, he told me he was listenig to me and in his next breath asks me what I just told him. Ive tolerated this for 10 months and im fed up. If a doctor doesnt listen they are worthless!!! Some of these doctors think they are on the same level as God! Very discouraging !!!

He's thorough and he takes his time and talks to you and he makes you feel less uneasy if even if you're real sick

I believe that Dr. Bhat should take into consideration the ethnicity, race, gender, etc. of patients during diagnostics. It’s antiquated practice to apply a generic baseline. Otherwise, Dr. Bhat is a great doctor.

I love Dr Baht. He always listens and is not afraid to take things seriously
Dec-2023
Every time he either adds a test or a medicine. Even though there is absolutely no need. Money making machine
Dec-2023
Dr. Bhat is a very conscientious and explains my health issues and questions clearly. However, during this annual physical, he did not listen to my heart and lungs. I find since the pandemic, doctors are not physically touching or monitoring a person: not checking for pulse, heart function, lungs performance and checking by palpating stomach, liver, intestine area. Why is that, is that now the protocol for examinations?
Dec-2023
He listens, remembers and cares, he’s a gem!

I was never able to see the doctor. I had to wait for an hour, and there was still gonna be more of a wait time . I had to leave to go to work. I have to reschedule and that’s been a little tough to do.. but I do have to say everybody was nice. It’s just highly inconvenient.
