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.

Outstanding Doctor! Knowledgeable & Caring
Dr. Bianchi has been my primary doctor for for over 20 years, and my families doctor for over 12 years. He is incredibly professional, knowledgeable, thorough, kind and caring always listens carefully to all of our concerns. He provides detailed information about any situation that arises pertaining to our care and aftercare, as well as for any medications that he is prescribing. He has recommended many excellent specialists over the years, including surgeons, that have always been superior. His support and front office staff are professional, friendly and always willing to go the extra mile. I started seeing his PA, Shanthi Balaraman, 2 years ago and I can't recommend her enough! Shanthi is very detail oriented, explaining each step of my care in easy to understand language and taking as much time as needed to hear my concerns and respond to them. I always recommend Dr. Bianchi to anyone that asks for a excellent Primary Physician and will continue to do so indefinitely.

Very Accomodating
I have had a few different family doctors over the years, but I have been a patient of Dr. Bianchi's for several years now and plan to keep it that way. The staff is always friendly and efficient, they even call me ahead of time to remind me of my appointment. Dr. Bianchi is also friendly, empathetic, efficient and very knowledgeable. He is able to answer all my questions in laymen's terms so I understand exactly what he is talking about. On more than one occasion I have needed to speak with him after hours and he has been very helpful and taken my calls and helped resolve my medical issues. He clearly has my best interests at heart.

This doctor does not care about his patients. He is rushed and just checking off boxes so he can get out of there. Long waits every time. At my husband's physical, we waited over an hour to see him. When it was finally our turn, Dr. Bianchi spent less than 10 minutes with my husband when he stopped my husband from speaking and told us we'd have to schedule another appointment to continue discussing his medical needs. Less than 10 minutes into a physical. We were floored. At my last sick appointment, I had bronchitis for a month and he didn't even know what antibiotics his office had already prescribed me for it. He tried to prescribe me one that they already tried and didn't work for me and I had to explain it to him. He obviously doesn't read the chart before coming in to see you. He literally just sees you as a number. Find another doctor.

Look to put it simply he's gonna nickle and dime you all he can, all while knowing the bare minimum of family health care. Even if you know youre perfectly healthy and are going for a physical, he'll find some way to make you come back, add an extra charge here or there, but if you ask to see an itemized receipt for what he's charging you for he gets all flustered and suddenly the bill drops back down to what it's supposed to be. Don't go here unless youre a fan of getting ripped off.

I started going to this doctor because for ease of being close to work and my childcare. Been with this practice for a little over 3 years and never had a problem with contacting them, any staff or medical courses of action. At times I have been seen by nurse practitioners if the doctor is busy. Everyone is on point with charts and where the previous doctor had left off. They always ask if I have concerns or want to cover something they may not have. They really listen.
