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.

Care and help for son and daughter
Dr. Bhandari has always been there for both of my children. She has gone the extra mile and called to be support for both of my children who are and were young adults. When my son passed away she was there for me and my family and even came to the funeral. Most psychiatrists ask that you call them when you are in crisis, but Dr. Bhandari called both of them to see how they were doing. Please don't listen or pay attention to the reviews above. She is very good at what she does and we all know the cost of mental health care is expensive, even though it shouldn't be.

Doctor's take an oath to do no harm. STAY AWAY. When looking for a second opinion on a serious, but potentially VERY beneficial medication change. Dr. Bhandari's "Official Medical Review" is: "it's NOT used that often for THAT. " (Needless to say, it is, I was looking for OTHER things-like will it do this or that... Not, the medical community has it wrong and you have it right.) Look very closely at her credentials. From my knowledge, I believe her to professionally confused between a psychiatrist and a neurologist. I also believe after reading the other reviews she is MONEY motivated as she moonlights online. DO NO HARM.

Dr. Bhandari unfortunately works for Path Group. It is my considered opinion based on my personal experience that this is a corporate enterprise whose focus is on profits and there is no interest whatsoever in the patients. I wish Dr Bhandari and any and all of the employees of Path Group would try and create a true medical practice. I urge anyone considering any doctors help to stay far away from The Path Group. It is my experience that this is a vindictive corporate structure operating as stringent employers who control and dictate their employees (in this case doctors) from providing the legitimate and helpful service for which you seek the type of doctors they employ. STAY AWAY FROM THIS PRACTICE, PLEASE.
