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.

I can't say enough good things about Dr. Bhalla! He is an amazing physician and extremely knowledgeable in his field. I would recommend him to anyone needing a cardiologist. You can trust that he will provide you with the appropriate medical knowledge so that you can make an informed decision regarding your health.

Dr. Bhalla is awesome. I have been dealing with vein issues for over 10 years and he is the first doctor to finally help me. The office staff is so nice and never have to wait more than a few minutes. Highly recommend!

Dr. Bhalla is very good but his office staff is terrible. They won't return calls, answer the phone or even forward test results to other doctors or hospitals.

Saw Dr. Bhalla for intermittent chest discomfort. Timing of appointments to help diagnose my issue was relatively prompt. His staff were competent and efficient. Nuclear stress test revealed an issue that Dr. Bhalla investigated by angiogram only one week later. He was also willing to answer all my questions in detail before and after procedures.

I was correctly and timely diagnosed by Dr. Bhalla in one sitting, suggesting for an Angiogram . This was arranged in less than a week. The procedure was smooth and successful , two stents placed and discharged in less than 24 hours. The follow up counselling was very freindly and elaborate. I observed Dr. Bhalla as a true professional and expert in his own field. I am thankful to Dr. Bhalla and his staff.

My wife and I have both been patients of Dr. Bhalla for the last three years, and in that time he has shown a kindness and understanding often lacking in the medical profession. All you need to do is sit in waiting area and hear his patients share their "Dr. Bhalla" stories and you will soon realize that he touches people in so many ways. I will never forget the phone call I received from Dr. Bhalla on the passing of my mother. We both highly recommend Dr. Bhalla to all our friends.

I have been treated by Dr. Bhalla for venous reflux disease for the past 10 months, requiring both vein ablation and sclerotherapy. The improvement in both circulation and appearance of my legs is amazing. With each visit I have found Dr. Bhalla and all of his staff to be knowledgeable, courteous and always friendly and positive. Dr. Bhalla’s is to be commended for the positive comradery that exist among his staff. I highly recommend Dr. Bhalla.

Dr. Bhalla and his staff discovered and corrected a problem I had for the last 10 years. After other doctors misdiagnosed(or simply ignored) a pain I had in my groin area, Dr Bhalla determined it was a varicose vain problem, His office completely eliminated my problem in a few short visits with nearly pain-free procedures. Furthermore, all the staff is great and caring. .

I would, and have, recommended Dr. Bhalla to friends. Besides being thorough and precise on everything he does, he's very personable and friendly, which makes talking to him very easy. I'm just glad we were referred to him a few years ago, because he's been a life-saver to my husband and I. We are very happy with him and we hope he doesn't retire any time soon! Dr. Bhalla's staff is amazing too. My husband and I actually enjoy going to our appointments because of the way everyone makes us feel.

Dr. Bhalla is an amazing Doctor. My uncle went in with severe leg pain, and Dr. Bhalla explained that smoking was a major cause of his discomfort. He is a very thorough physician and makes you feel very welcome. I would recommend Dr. Bhalla to all my friends and family.

I've known Dr. Bhalla for quite some time and he's one of the best cardiologist I've had the pleasure of becoming a patient with. He's so pleasant and funny and makes you feel so comfortable.
