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.

Not very timely
Not very timely.Unfortunately I was unable to see the Dr. My appointment was for 2:00 P.M., I completed all the new patient information on line and arrived for my appointment a few minutes early. The receptionist did't seem interested in any welcome to a new patient. I sat down, there was a gentleman sitting across from me who told me he had the same appointment time as mw with Dr.Bhalla. He had already been waiting longer than me. At 2:40 I went up to the receptionist to indicate that I would need to reschedule, as I had an appointment with a client. She told me they could not reschedule and would cancel the appointment. I would not recommend this service unless you have several hours to wait. The inability of the practice to reschedule appointments seems highly unusual and I would suggest to the practice that they provide some client relations training for the persons you first encounter at the office.George Lucey - June 18, 2024

I was a patient of his when he was with Stony Brook Urology on Long Island….He performed a partial Nephrectomy (2009)on me that was complicated..(he had to crack a few ribs to get to the problem)..he is the most compassionate,sweet,easy to speak too and dresses beautifully (thanks to his wife)…I was happy for him that he moved on but my family and I miss him….

So thankful to have located him. He is my mom’s favorite doctor. He is a distance for her since he moved to 1072 Valley, Stirling but it worth the drive.

Love the guy, but his move from NJ Urology is kinda sloppy. .Denville office kept trying to reschedule me with other doctors, Millburn angrily wouldn't tell me where to find him. Google found him for me. Had my records sent from Millburn and hand delivered them to Sterling, and confirmed an appointment for 1115 Fri the 18th. Arranged to stay in Fla thru 17th ...office called today saying apptmnt was 17th and Dr is not in Sterling on Fridays. Rescheduled for Tues....woulda stayed in Fla a few more days. Thanks

Dr. Bhalla is AWESOME! He is a kind and compassionate doctor. My primary doctor referred me to him and I am extremely grateful. He saved my kidney and repaired my ureter through a laparoscopy surgery. He also removed ovarian vein coils that were wrapped in scar tissue! He is such a talented urologist and surgeon. I literally cried when he told me everything he accomplished during my surgery. Dr. Bhalla listened to all my concerns and together we worked on a plan for surgery. I told him he was my Thanksgiving Miracle! He and his team at St. Barnabas Hospital were absolutely incredible. I called them the “Dream Team!”

Dr. Bhalla is amazing kind and caring. However his nurse Victoria is a nasty person. She makes me feel like I am stupid. She also hurt me very badly when drawing my blood. if you go there and need blood drawn ask for someone else because she is dangerous. Beware.

Dr Bhalla is a very good and smart doctor. How ever their office staff is terrible. I spoke to some one twice to let me know what time I have to be at Surgical center on January 19th 2020. Also requested to send me new paper work to be filled out by other doctors before procedure. I even try to call their office three times in last four days but no one picks up the phone.

Dr Bahlla walked in and didn’t even sit down to talk to me. He didn’t make eye contact and had no empathy when it came to me, the new patient. He rushed to explain what I should do next in regards to my treatment. Moreover, he failed to tell me that the types of foods I should eat for the next months should be the SAME so that my one day urine test would accurately show the cause of my first kidney stone. He promised the office would call me on Monday to give me the results of my vitamin D levels (possible cause of my kidney stone) and 10 days later, I had to call his office myself. My levels were high in vitamin D ,but no one bothered to call me and tell me to stop taking the supplements. Regrettably, nurse Tiffany who withdrew blood from my arm is so incompetent she bruised up my arms It was changing colors from blue to purple for 3 weeks. Horrific experience! When questioning Dr Bahlla about this, he defended his nurse. I paid a $30 copay for a bruised arm! Shame on them!

I followed Dr. Bhalla since he was practicing in Stony Brook, he is a wonderful, kind and caring doctor. The care and understanding he gave to me during my cancer diagnosis and surgery is the same care and understanding he gave my wife as we went through this terrible disease. Dr. Bhalla saved my life and we are forever grateful to him. Andrzej Urbaniak NY - September 6, 2019

I would recommend Dr. Bhalla to a friend and family member. He is a excellent doctor but his medical assists in the Milburn office is horrible. They didn't handle my paper work in a timely manner when I questioned I was told this is not my job to do this or I should be glad that they did call when there shift was over. I gave disability papers to filled out I was told they would take care of it 6wks later my papers was never mailed out sitting on the desk in the office.

Dr. Bhalla has been treating me for an ongoing issue. He has an extremely comforting and professional bedside manner, and always gives me the time I need to answer all questions. The office staff is extremely accommodating, especially his nurse. I was recommended to Dr. Bhalla by various others, and I would recommend him without hesitation.
