Dr. Bhakti Avinash Gangapurkar, MD

I had a very disappointing experience during my annual women’s check-up. The doctor spent less than 5 minutes with me, despite me waiting over 30 minutes beforehand. The exam itself felt rushed and incomplete. During the breast exam, she briefly used two fingers to lightly circle the outer area once, without applying proper pressure or thoroughly checking the full breast tissue. Given that I have a family history of breast cancer, this was especially concerning and did not feel like an adequate evaluation. When I asked a question about my health, she gave a very general response and seemed eager to end the visit rather than address my concerns. I did not feel that she was attentive or genuinely invested in my care. Overall, the experience felt unprofessional, rushed, and lacking in bedside manner. I left feeling unheard and not properly cared for. I would not recommend this provider.

She is nice. Not too sure about her surgical and technical skills. I had a cyst and need removal of it. She was the assigned surgeon for my surgery, but she didn’t have the patience or time to go through everything with me before the surgery to help me understand what it means for my situation. She only had less than 30min for a surgery where she said likely she can’t preserve my fallopian tube but would try her best. I cancelled the surgery and had second opinions. My new surgeon said she should be able to preserve the tube based on the examinations, can’t promise, but will try her best. I had cyst removed and tube preserved. If you go with her on surgery, do make sure you have had second opinions and fully understand what it means for you.
