Provider always listen
Very good
Great doctor
Very good and courteous thank you
Overall I was pleased
Dr. Bhalja is wonderful! Not many like him anymore and I know what I speak of as a retired RN of 40+ yrs who enjoyed her time working side by side with a GP/Gen Surgeon in his practice for several years.
Continue to talk to me about plans for treatment and how I should handle my situation.
I recommend the facility and the Dr
No reason to change
🙏👍
EXCELLENT! Dr. Bhalja saved my life! He literally saved my life. I have great respect for him, and he shows respect to me, not only as a patient but as a person. Thank you Dr. Bhalja.
No. He’s quite perfect as a doctor and cardiologist.
There is only one thing I can say...there are not many physicians around anymore that take time, pay attention, and get to know you as a person, not just a patient. Thank you Dr. Bhalja!
