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.

Professionalism / Bedside Manner
So I went to see Dr.Bhullar as he was recommended to me as I was having and emergency situation occurring with my left eye. Needless to say I went to see this doctor for care and noticed that he lacked the bedside manner of compassion, and caring. In addition to that his schedulers and billing representatives are unprofessional as well. The schedulers send you at least 3 messages of your upcoming appointments and if you haven’t yet answered them electronically then they Bombard you will calls until you confirm. As far as the billing representatives are concerned, if they are having any difficulties with your billing they don’t call you or send you a bill, but broadside you unexpectedly at the time of your appointment and say pay now or we can’t see you.

Sent to Dr Bhullar’s office by the Bradenton VA after my annual eye exam. In one week Dr Bhullar’s facility brought me in for his staff to examine me for possible Macular degeneration dry to wet. Dr Bhullar got with me after looking at all the photos and new information advised me it was still dry mac. He assured me I would need to stay on top of this with new appointments every five months. Needless to say it was outstanding news and I appreciate all their attention to detail for my first visit. Looking forward to my future visit. Thanks to everyone. Herb Schutt

I can see again!!
Dr. Bhullar did eye surgery on my left eye. In layman's terms, he did 3 things - 1) cleaned up the yellowing lens that replace cataract, 2) remove some vitreous fluid with floaters, and 3) cleaned up retina where some vitreous membrane remained after having vitreous membrane detachment. This eye went from 20/50 to 20/20. Amazing to me!!!

Exceptional Treatment
Dr Bhullar found the time to see me within 24 hours of my diagnosis. His staff was caring and informative and pleasant throughout my treatment especially his technician. Dr Bhullar preformed a extremely precise examination and treatment explaining every step of the planned treatment. He made it so comfortable that I was unaware that he had completed it. I would recommend Dr Bhullar and his practice to anyone needing a retinal expert.

I'm a snowbird and knew that something was wrong with my eyes. From my symptoms it appeared to be retinal, but several retinal specialists were not taking new patients. I was finally referred to Dr. Bhullar and quickly realized I had found both a fabulous doctor and staff, but wonderful human beings. They were caring, concerned and professional in every aspect. I would recommend Dr. Bhullar and the Retina Treatment Center to everyone!
