Dr. Mandeep Singh Bakshi, MD

Very hard to get an appointment upon referral and office was horrible at returning calls. Got appointment MONTHS after referral and then was treated like a child with insulting 'questions' and didn't even write accurate diagnosis down and follow up for 3 months with rent-stabilized acute asthma. Had to see another pulmonologist to get actual help and to be able to breathe. Lousy help over the phone, inept office staff which actually made people come to office to pick up xray prescription trather than fax it to hospital.... Wouldn't recommend the office to a worst enemy. Stay away unless you like stress with your breathing difficulties.

Just came from my initial visit with Dr. Bakshi and was so pleasantly surprised. He was extremely thorough about explaining the complexity of my condition, spending more than an hour. I was hesitant to go to a local doctor for such a complex issue, but am now glad I started in this office. The doctor scheduled several critical tests for me and referred me to a specialist in Knoxville for further analysis.

I have spent over $2000.00 on two sleep studies and has been over 6 months since the first visit. They never call you, you have to call them several times in order to get things going. Had an appointment today, in which they forgot to call me. "We called them yesterday" to find out what was going on. Went today and they stated I had a $23.00 balance that had to be paid before they would see me. They couldn't tell me what it was for!!! The doctor billed my insurance $700.00 last week. I have never even met the doctor. They couldn't even tell me what it was for!!! This office is all screwed up. I told them I wasn't paying the $23.00 for something they didn't know anything about. I walked out and told them I would never be back!!!

If you have questions after the initial visit and call to clarify, the staff will not have the doctor return phone calls.
