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.

First Visit
Dr. Bhat's office staff were excellent Jesus, Carlos and Natalya and Dr. Bhat took his time to talk to me about all my medical problems and family history.

Previous DR retired. DR. M Bhat referred by a specialist. In the first three visits over the past year, I find Dr Bhat caring, concerned, and very professional. He is on-time, has given me his time to go over various medical issues and questions. He listens! He provides direction to obtain the best for my continued well being.

Dr. M. Bhat does not listen to his patients, harasses us about our disabilities, and is openly hostile about pain. In every single interaction with him, he has been consistently disrespectful, short, and rude. He has refused to listen to me as his patient and, on multiple occasions, yelled “Come on!” at me when I tried to express the severity of my physical pain. Doctors should nurture and care for their patients, not yell at them. I am a chronic pain patient and have been for decades. I have been unable to work for years, my disabilities have been well documented by multiple competent physicians, and the court deemed me legally disabled years ago. Despite the extensive documentation of my impairments, Dr. Bhat has never examined my disabilities himself. Instead, he harasses me and tells me to ignore the intractable pain that has forced me into an early and unwanted retirement. Horrible “physician”.

Dr. M Bhat was curt, dismissive, uncaring, walked out of office mid conversation while discussing medical needs. No discussion of treatment plans or steps for follow up. Refusal for workplace accomidation note because no note from other doctor. Terrible patient care. Office staff was amazing and helpful in resolving issues with physician.

I moved from Austin to Tucson and was able to get Dr Bhat as an Internist. I thought my Dr in Austin was great but Dr Bhat is much better. He was very thorough and made me feel like he had all the time necessary for my needs. I recommend him with no hesitation.

My experience with Dr. M Bhat was nothing short of great. From what I hear, they have a whole new staff and it's made a big difference. Friendly staff, clean environment, and zero to little wait time. Dr. M Bhat really made me feel like he cared and addressed all my needs.
