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.

Amazing Doctor
I was referred to Dr Bhakta by a foot doctor I’d been seeing for Achilles pain. At my initial appointment, several X-Rays were taken. He immediately knew what the problem was upon reviewing them and made a recommendation. He had me fixed up within a week. The surgery was a quick success!! I can’t sing his praises enough. He’s very busy, so if you’re looking to be coddled and want a doctor that’s going to spend alot of time with you- go somewhere else. That isn’t necessarily with Dr Bhakta. He knows his stuff and can fix you without all of that. I HIGHLY Recommend him for all things foot and ankle!!

Resolved a long term issue
Dr. Bhakta immediately explored my options and did tests to find the exact location of my foot pain. I have since had foot surgery and now my problem is resolved at last! He is very personable and professional as well.

Ten years of seeing podiatrists did not help until seeing Dr Bhatka. In 5 minutes, he diagnosed the problem, scheduled a surgery, and told me recovery time would be a fraction of what others projected. He was right. The surgery center he chose was top notch. I can now walk with my wife around the neighborhood again pain free. Right before anesthesia, Dr B said, "We're going to get you fixed." He did!

I was at first hesitant because he was not an orthopedic doctor. I had first gone to an orthopedic doctor and the surgery was not successful. Dr. Bhakta is an excellent surgeon. I was convinced I had made the right decision when an hospital nurse, who had assisted him in surgery, also had him correct her problem. My second surgery was a complete success. They also have very qualified rehab professionals at their offices.

I have seen Dr. Bhakta since 2019 to have surgery on my left foot. When you arrive to see Dr. Bhakta expect to wait at least an hour before you get called back to wait some more. He will spend 3 minutes with you while apologizing for running behind. Communication is horrible. This is important. What the doctor tells you and what the front desk tell you are two separate things. My insurance ended and Dr. Bhakta told me he would bill me just the medicare copay rate and I would pay at the time service and they would never mention that I owed anything. Now here we are in the middle of 2020 and now Sheilla (Billing Manager) says I owe Accent Podiatry $600. They did minor surgery on my other foot in 2020 without mentioning me a balance and that was a few months ago. Before you go anywhere I would suggest you do a google search "Podiatrist Arlington" or "Podiatrist Mansfield" and read the reviews that look real. Read the 1-star reviews. Take the 5 stars with a grain of salt.

I just love Dr. Bhakta, he is very professional and always listens to my concerns. I really appreciate him I had two surgeries with Dr.Bhakta and I can honestly say he takes very good care of his patients. Thank you so much Dr. Bhakta for taking care of my poor little foot.

Use to love this dr. but was concerned after 3 yrs of going to him and still having issues with my left foot. Even after 2 surgeries and 1 so called treatment, I still have issues with that foot. And now my mom went to him, he said her foot was broke from a few years ago injury. Surgery was scheduled, but she went for a second opinion (orthopedic dr) and they said its not broke. So glad she didnt have the surgery would he have tried to fix something that wasnt broken? Not good, not good at all..

I have had several surgeries with no relief from swelling or pain in my right foot until Dr Bhakta revised my foot surgery. The swelling is noticeably less and the pain is completely gone in only 4 mths after surgery. I had been suffering for about 4 yrs after my last foot surgery with pain and swelling daily affecting my ability to walk and quite frankly was reluctant to undergo another surgery after being seen and having surgery with three previous surgeons. Glad I trusted Dr.Bhakta.
