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.

Nice but Has Unreasonable Expectations of Patient
Dr. Bhalla is an attentive and thorough physician. I would often get bumped to Dr. Bhalla when my main PCP was unavailable. During my physical she asked me how often I exercise and I told her I did rigorous cardiovascular exercise 3-4 times a week. Earlier in the appointment she had even noted that I had lost weight since my last appointment. Despite all of that she said that I really should be exercising at least 5 times a week. I think that is an unrealistic standard, especially while raising very young children. She does things by the book but doesn't seem to adjust given patient context.

I have been seeing Dr. Amita Bhalla for years. I like her bed side manner. She explains a condition and the medicine being prescribed for it. She will listen to your questions and concerns. I feel she really cares for me as a patient and a person.
