Amazing Doctor
Dr. Bhalla is exceptional at looking at you, the patient, as a whole person, not just his specialty. He is very strategic in recommending things to consider regarding vaccines and future preventative testing or blood work review. I really appreciate his compassionate approach and professional guidance. I also like that he keeps my other doctors like my PCP, updated on my condition from his perspective I have recommended him to numerous people at different times and for different reasons. Keep up your great work Dr. Bhalla.

Recommendation from my PCP.
I had some health concerns and my primary care DR. recommended Dr. Bhalla. They referred me for MRI and CT scan in addition to blood work. The testing was very thorough and DR. Bhalla and his PA were very kind and explained the results in detail. All my questions were answered, and I left feeling like my health really mattered. The office is well organized and timely. No endless waiting for your appointment. Well done!!!!

Dr. Bhalla is compassionate & respectful.
I have been seeing Dr. Bhalla for over 10 years, during all visits he simplifies and explains the test results for specific visit. He makes me feel confident with whatever surgeries were recommended. I would highly recommend him to anyone that is searching for an excellent Oncologist.

Should be the Top Doc every year
Dr. Bhalla has been my oncologist for the last 7-1/2 years and was always by my side during my chemotherapy and radiation treatments. He gave me the confidence through his positive attitude and knowledge of my treatment plan and then remission to last for years to come. Dr. Bhalla is the reason that I am healthy and living my life like I did before I was diagnosed with Hodgkins Lymphoma. Thank you Dr. Bhalla and all of Ironwood.

Dr. Bhalla is wonderful
I have been a cancer patient of Dr. Bhalla for 4 months now. I have been so blessed to be under the care of such an outstanding doctor and an outstanding man. I am so impressed and grateful for the care and treatment I have received, that I would stop treatment before I went anywhere else. This not only applies to the medical treatment I have received, it also applies to the compassionate way I have been treated as a person. The interactions I have had with Dr. Bhalla and his staff clearly reflect how they truly care about their patients and what we are going through. They have been extremely helpful and supportive with every aspect of my treatment. Dr. Bhalla always takes the time to listen when we meet and fully explains everything involved with my treatment. He is extremely knowledgeable, thorough, and personable. He has suffered with me during the lows, and he has rejoiced with me during the highs. He is not only my doctor, he is now my friend.

Misleading diagnosis and bad treatment
Dr. Bhalla said my husband had stage 3 lung cancer when 1st diagnosed. Mayo clinic later said it was actually stage 4. His 1st treatment was radiation which is the worst treatment for lung cancer as it eill destroy the lungs. After trying a couple of other treatments that didn't work we asked if a trial might be available? There answer was for us to look on tge internet.

I have been a patient of Dr. Bhalla's for a number of years! He certainly has taken good care of me and he has earned my highest regard! It has been said that "no one cares about how much you know, until they know how much you care." I certainly agree and would add that this is even more so the case when dealing with the medical community. In Dr. Bhalla's case, it is obvious that the "care it there". He is great. I never feel like I am being treated a a "set of symptoms", he always gives his full attention during our meetings. He is careful to explain carefully, listens attentively, and responds fully to my questions, making me feel like I am part of the whole process. He really makes me feel like we are a team in my health care! I feel like he makes it a point to treat the "whole person" rather than just the presenting set of symptoms. He is great!

Dr. Bhalla has been my hematologist for many years. I always leave with a clear treatment pland and direction. If I need treatment immediately he gets it scheduled the same day. I feel that I can trust Dr. Bhalla. His team and nurses provide me with exceptional care.

We were referred to Dr. Bhalla after a devastating diagnosis. Dr. Bhalla and his staff arranged an immediate appointment. Everyone we are dealing with at Ironwood was kind and professional. Dr. Bhalla was exceptional, using kindness and direct information, which immediately built our confidence in him and that we were at the right place. Our experience included his nurse practioner Jenny who was patient, informative, and intuitive. Highly recommend
