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.

Dr. Bhatnagar did a great job examining my small finger which I injured during a fall. I would recommend Precision Orthopedics and Sports Medicine to others.

Impersonal Care
I saw Dr. Bhatnagar for a shoulder injury recently and the visit felt rushed and I felt like he wasn't attentive or invested in my well being. Quite frankly, I felt like a number and not a person. I would not recommend this physician to anyone if they are looking for attentive and caring attributes.

Waste of time
Dr. Bhatnagar, in my estimation, is equally useless. I think he is a complete liar. He wasted months of my time. He said he was going to operate on my hip to repair my hip replacement, but when I recently saw him in his office, he said he doesn't perform that kind of surgery, and he referred me to a pain specialist. WHAT? Why did he all of the sudden decide that he wouldn't operate? He wouldn't answer that question. Why have I been engaged with him in the last several months? Why didn't he tell me this in the first place? Waste of time. Very unprofessional!

Visit for Shoulder Pain
The office staff was nice for check in process. Was taken in on time and complete check up process was smooth. Dr took time and explained the cause of the pain very well. Answered all the questions. I am feeling better with the treatment provided within 12 hours.

Tough to review - limited contact
The practice seems ok, and the techs were great. However, I had a 9:30 appointment with Dr. Bhatnagar, and wasn’t called until almost 10:15, with no explanation or suggestion anyone regretted the delay. He was polite, but either his mind was elsewhere or he just wasn’t particularly interested in my situation, and after asking me why I had so many stitches in an injury, then suggested only half be removed, requiring a second visit. He left after spending under 5 minutes with me, and delegated the stitch removal. No one at the check-out desk when I came out, and as I was already running late, I just left.

He took a call and never informed his patients that he was going to be an hour behind. And he doesn’t recharge before he comes into a waiting room.

Last place to go!
I would give negative rating if system allows!After waiting for 2 and half hours PA came and said dr is in surgery and he can not see me. They have no value of patients time. One of X-ray technicians made all excuses not to give cd. Total disappointment over all!
