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.

Rudest, careless physician you will experience.
After 43 years of visiting with providers I have found someone that I need to warn the public about. Dr Bandaru does not care about kindness or bedside manners. She is rudest physician I have ever met and does not trully care about the wellbeing of a patient.

I wish I would have seen her years ago !!!
My diabetes is very poorly controlled. Within the first visit she rearranged my entire medicine regime and I had confidence in her that she could get me better. She was so informative and extremely knowledgeable of the disease and treatment. I was on high dose of insulin and was shocked to hear her plan was to get me off of all insulin because THIS IS BEST FOR ME . I’m sure it’s not the answer for all diabetics . Regardless if I can get off of insulin or not in a short time she is helping me get my diabetes under control for the first time in my life !

Terrible attitude towards patient!
This visit was a huge waste of time. I came to her for help, I tried explaining what’s happening to me but she cut me off and told me she couldn’t help me unless my Thyroid levels were off… according to the internet she specializes in several different diseases, yet she couldn’t be more uninterested in my concerns. I will never go back, nor would I ever recommend her! I left the office feeling hopeless, she didn’t even let me explain how I feel..she suggested I stop a medication I’ve taken for years, yet had no suggestion to replace it. I have never been dismissed like this, I tried to describe what’s going on but she wasn’t interested in anything I had to say. She focused on only one of my many symptoms, and gave no thought or time to the others. I eventually stopped trying. She offered to do blood work but was very clear that unless my thyroid levels were abnormal, there was nothing she could do. The list of things she specializes in needs to be updated if she’s treating thyroid only
