Dr. Babu S Bangaru, MD

Dear Parents who are recommending Dr. Babu...I recently took my 8 year old there for stomach issues and had a very negative experience that has caused us much grief. His bedside manner was terrible; he told my daughter flat out to her face that she was overweight, when he should’ve consulted with me first. And my daughter is no way overweight (confirmed by her primary and BMI). He performed a rectal examination with little warning, and he was rough and invasive. She has had nightmares about it and I will be reporting him. I scheduled a follow up (alone) and gave him the opportunity to fix things hoping he would be sensitive to the damage he caused. He was not only unwilling to listen to me, he asked me to leave. This dr should not be seeing children; he is unequipped and personally, I feel he has done more damage than good. I am posting this allover Facebook because I saw he has been recommended by many, which is why I went to him, and I want others to be aware of this incident. I… found no Yelp, Zocdoc or any other social media profiles.

We went to him when our son was diagnosed with pancreatitis; he was able to prescribe medications that helped, however his attitude is horrendous. He is supposed to be there to help, not give a 10 minute long lecture on why my son should have become an atheist.

Absolutely the very best doctor and person!

We first visited Dr. Bangaru when my son was a toddler, he was very kind and appropriate. Now my daughter, age 8, has been having gastrointestinal problems, he saw her promptly, was very kind, did not go overboard with tests she did not need. We have been very satisfied with him as our childrens' GI doctor.

Simply a jerk, no professionalism, I did some digging; he has no professional education in this country. All converted med school credit from INDIA; who knows might be all bogus I would not recommend anyone, especially not to your little one!

My one month old was having digestive problems & was sent to Dr. Bangaru. I know everyone says he is rude and pot manners. But I simply think he is just honest, stern, and straight word. He doesn't eat around the bush & tells what you need to know and what you need to do. He was far from rough with my daughter he actually picked her up and tried to calming her when she was screaming her lungs off. I would recommend him to anyone he is very knowledgable of what he is doing. I still take my daughter to see him up to this day. Simply wonderful most honest doctor you'll find

My son got HSP,this doctor Bangru told me to keep him home,my son does not need to go to the ER. Bangru is very rude, does not know and feel what parents feel.

Our 8 month old baby was sick for months - blood in his poo, fatigued, moody - and Dr. Bangaru saved his life by rapidly making a difficult diagnosis and mitigating further damage. Dr. Bangaru acted quickly and calmly in confirming his suspicion, and was the essence of kindness and patience with my wife and me. This is a fine, caring man and an excellent physician and we are very lucky to have found him. FYI: I am a pediatric specialist, in a different field, and am greatly impressed with Dr. Bangaru's professionalism, thoroughness and humanity.

I would not recommend this doctor at all because he can't treat my child.

I'm amazed at some of these reviews - maybe there are two doctors with the same name. Our experience was excellent. We were seen immediately by Dr. Bangaru. He was respectful and gentle with my son - his manner made it easy for this anxious 10-year-old to talk about his gastro problems. He's clearly knowledgeable and experienced. I would recommend him to anyone in need of a good pediatric gastroenterologist in NYC.
