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.

Dismissive and rude
Dr couldn’t have been ruder if she tried. Told me 3-4 times that she isn’t a dermatologist and asked why was I there. I was there because I had two drs tell me to see a rheumatologist. When I left the room I heard her talking about me to the nurses and that she wasn’t a dermatologist. I will not be returning. I have loved all my other physicians at this facility but I will never come back to her. I will find someone that will listen to me and explain what the next steps are. Needs to stop treating patients like we are stupid. We are there for a reason. Total waste of my time today

No Bedside Manner
My initial appointmnt with Dr. Bhargava lasted about 15 minutes. She questioned my reason for seeing her and doubted my medical history. She made me feel anxious and not heard at all. After updating her Medical Assisstant about my previous medical history, Dr. Bhargava still wasn't aware of all of my history (even though it is included in her system because I see 2 other doctor in the practice). She told me she would be ordering blood tests and then left the room. She never asked me if I had any other concerns, told me about her thoughts, or mentioned when I was to come back. If you are looking for someone with compassion and bedside manner, look for a different Rheumatologist.

care
I am a patient now for many years ,but as of late with my condition getting worse and nodules growing out of control on my joints.my joints are also getting worse and when i explain this im not getting any options for care .I should be getting something so i can at least have a good nights rest. The staff in there has always been nice ,but maybe there to busy now and i just felt like cattle going to livestock house today.i normally do not write anything but maybe this will help for future visits for other patients.

I don't know why the bad reviews but I had absolutely no issues. She was thorough, ran all necessary tests, professional and friendly. Wanted to make sure she received a much deserved 4 star.

AVOID AT ALL COSTS
First went to this dr and she told me it was probably anxiety. After extensive blood tests ordered by my PRIMARY...it was revealed I have Sjogren's. At the FU appt, dr confirmed I had Sjogren's (already knew that from my results), said there are no meds needed, and to FU in 3 months for bloodwork. Hardly listened to concerns the first time. Even worse during the 2nd visit. So I pretty much paid her office a $50 copay to tell me what my labs already did. I mentioned a medication that has been prescribed for my condition and was ignored. I sent a message to the office requesting said medication (not a pain med). It's been a month and NO ONE has gotten back to me about anything. AVOID THIS DOCTOR. No bedside manner, does not listen to patient concerns, no compassion or attempt to understand how they feel.

Dr. Bhargava literally saved my husband's life on more than 1 occasion. She was the one who diagnosed him with Dermatomyositis when others were saying rheumatoid arthritis. She has the in depth knowledge, excellent and caring patient care and tenacity to find the best treatment.

Really 0 stars. Practice switched me to Bhargava during new patient COVID delay to see her colleague, promising transfer to other Dr. as a current patient and get in sooner. I treated it as a real Dr appt. She didn't treat me seriously though and gave no recommendations, documented misdiagnosis, and recorded a mastectomy which I never had! I've been advocating for record repair ever since the other doctor then refused to see me because she recorded fibromyalgia dx instead of my real problem with breast cancer treatment side effects! Neither doctor has had the courtesy to call me back, office staff talks dead end. Nothing! I sent a notated copy of her documentation with a correction for the mastectomy and all I get back is a portal message saying "all documentation is accurate." This is a nightmare trying to get record fixed!!! Consider yourself forewarned. I wish I had been.

My pain was continuing to increase in several joints and was severely impacting my ability to live a “ normal” life. Dr. Bhargava diagnosed my condition and ordered the medication schedule that saw the pain disappear within days. She continues to oversee my condition to prevent, or at least, reduce any relapses. She is not only a skilled physician, she is a very caring and concerned physician.c

I had my initial visit with her today. After reading some online reviews I was uncertain how this would unfold. I was pleasantly surprised to find that Dr Bargava was outstanding in every way. She did a very extensive exam and ordered bloodwork and xrays. She explained my Lupus diagnoses very well and reviewed likely treatment options. I was able to get my bloodwork and xrays done while I was there. Her staff were polite, kind and professional. I am very pleased with her abilities and manner.

Absolute waste of time and money. Visited regarding pain in a few of my joints and constant cracking. Took an x Ray that showed no issues in my shoulder and then proceeded with then drawing blood for some tests. She made me schedule a follow up appointment with her to discuss the test results which all came back negative. She said she doesn’t know why my shoulder was so tense and kept giving me generic answers to try and deal with it since she “didn’t see anything wrong”. She is not thorough and wouldn’t spend more than 10-15 minutes with me while I was visiting, and then proceeded to charge me $350 for my follow up visit, which lasted 5 minutes and she didn’t have any actual input for me. Completely unprofessional and lacks field knowledge. Don’t waste your time with her, go see a professional.

It had been a few years since I'd seen Dr Bhargava. I was happy she remembered me. She was as warm and kind as I remembered. She ran tests and was very thorough. She eased my mind ruling out a suspected illness. She also gave me list of many things I could do to improve my overall health.

Doctor Bhargava was truly excellent. I came to her in a dark period of my life, constantly seeking to opiods and prescription painkillers. Doctor Bhargava stood firm during my appointment, refusing to give me the medication she knew I did not need. Instead, she showed great interest in my recovery and treated the underlying causes of my pain as well as sending me to pain managament doctors whi could mitigate my pain without the medications that were clearly harming me.

I am actually very surprised she even has 2 stars. This so called "doctor" does not have the patient's best interest as a priority. She does not have time for them, does not answer questions, does not admit when wrong, her bedside manner is pathetic and she has no problem inconveniencing the patient. It's a wonder why she even went into this profession as a Dr because she's only about herself & she's sub-par as doctors go. Found many who care about patient & Dr. Bhargava is NOT one! Beware!
