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.

He completes an examination and blood work each visit. He spends time going over the previous test results and any concerns that I have.

Totally agree with all the negative comments. The doctor is rude, hard to understand, yells at you about other doctors getting him records yet impossible to get him to share information. Will not write prescriptions for more than one fill at a time so always a hassle when you need refilled. Wants to see you all the time for follow up appointments which do not seem necessary and a way to constantly make revenue and inconvenience the patient. Front desk staff wonderful but also seem in fear of doctor. They also play games with billing and never provide a statement. They demand payment up front so you never know what insurance allows. They called me up to say good news your deductible is met yet even with my 10% coinsurance charged me $395 at end of 10 min visit. I asked if they accept Medicare since I am nearing that age. They advised I would have to pay them them and I would have the hassle of filing with Medicare for reimbursement. Horrible all around practices. Avoid!!!!

Stay away from this Doctor. He is rude, tried to overcharge me and won't provide a billing statement. I had to call Insurance and deal through them to get my balance back. He won't give my lab report. He provides very little information. I don't know how he is doctor. All the negative reviews I read before mine is very true! Stay away!.

Extremely helpful so far. Dr has a bit of a language barrier, but honestly I'd rather have a doctor that knows what they're doing than one that can talk my ear off. These reviews that I've seen are way off as far as him being rude, he has done nothing but help. He does everything himself, including labs. I really like him and would urge anyone with diabetes to give him a shot.

Went from great A1c, 5.3 to 7.2 under his care. He would not address my nighttime fluctuations that were completely out of my control & that I brought to his notice multiple times over several years. I struggled w/why on a diabetic diet I could not see low A1c numbers. I had to pry test results out of them. Office staff is rude, except for Camula. They called my pharmacist a liar. CVS said prescriptions weren't called in but they said they had. FIRED! NEW & REAL Endo has my #'s down after 1 week

I hated this Dr. He is very rude, will chew you out of anything doesn't go his way, and I couldn't understand what he was saying half the time. It had to be his way or the highway. He kicked people out of his office for no reason and treated you like you were in the wrong. Save your time and energy and go to someone else. Front office tried to overcharge me because they thought my BlueCare wasn't effective when it was.

Dr. Bhatia did not look at my insulin pump or blood glucose monitor, he simply asked me what my sugar levels normally run, and told me that if they were high to give more insulin during that meal and if it was low, to give less. He also ordered several labs to be done and didn't explain them to me. Little did I know, I had to fast for the blood tests and had to do a 24 hour urine sample that the tech told me about when I arrived at the lab. Bad experience all around. Don't know how how he's a Dr
