Dr. Sanjeev Bhatia, MD

Dr. Bhatia is very thorough and checked everything. His staff and the PAs are efficient and friendly and get us in asap at the clinic.

I have been a patient for years , I have always received complete and courteous service from all the staff and nurses . I also have received complete examinations , tests , blood work and thorough analysis from all the physicians at the clinic , along with explanations to all the above . In a world where people are treated as a number , you are somebody special to this clinic and everyone who works there . I have always been treated with respect and they have a awesome bedside manner , which isn't even taught in medical school anymore . You will feel better about going to this clinic , compared to some of the others here in Victoria and I wont mention names , I am the late Dr. F. L. Duckworths son and this is the best , and I know great physicians I was raised by one , thank you

I went there with a concern. I was seen by a Nurse Practitioner who was very thorough and she listened to me. She sent me for an exam where it was discovered that I had breast cancer. Thanks to her, it was found early and I am now cancer-free, thanks be to God!

I went to see Dr. Bahtia when I was sick. I was immediately given an EKG, blood work, and told I needed a chest ex-ray. After the tests I was told they would call me (no diagnosis). When the blood results came back, they were abnormal so I went in for more blood work and an abdominal ultrasound. Still no diagnosis. I was called a week later by someone that I thought was a nurse, that is not, to tell me that the new blood work was also abnormal (2 tests ordered the second time). He told me to take the medication I was given and see them in a month! I WASN'T GIVEN ANY MEDICATION OR A DIAGNOSIS! IT GETS BETTER! I go in the next day and ask to see the doctor about results. A real nurse called me back and went over them with me. She didn't know right away but did explain one of the results. She said let me find out what this means. She turns to the computer and types in WWW.GOOGLE.COM!!!!!! I AM LIVID RIGHT NOW! I have had normal blood work for 6 years so the results were upsetting. I am… taking them to a real physician to find out what is going on with me. I didn't pay to have google diagnose me so I will be requesting a refund from them!

I made an appointment so see Dr. Bhatia for a consult to determine if he should be my PCP. He did not show for the appointment. A nurse practitioner came instead and said that he rarely saw patients. She did a rudimentary exam and entered mostly incorrect info on my chart. Prescribed meds that i did not need or want and did not prescribe meds that she recommended. Will not go back.

I take an elderly aunt for her yearly checkups. She was told to fast because of tests. We waited a long time for each test. She was given an EKG, bone density and blood work. By the time she was finished with her bone density test it was 10:30. The appointment was at 8:00. As she was walking from the table, she slipped a little, she said she was dizzy. Mind you she had fasted and is 85 years old. Then she had blood work. The lady who tried to draw blood was incompetent. I had to put a stop to everything when she wanted to draw blood out of the foot since all her veins in her arms collapsed. She was upset and crying. Finally, when we saw the doctor, he wanted us to go to the emergency room and stay overnight because she slipped when she was dizzy. I told him she was hungry. He argued with me and put in her paperwork that I refused to take her to the emergency. I took my aunt to get her blood work at the professional building by Detar. It took less than 1 minute for them… to start drawing blood and she was in no pain! Every time you call the office about something minor, the doctor wants to put her in the hospital. He is very good on the first visit with his "good" bedside manner, but after that, he wants your money and has PA's and Nurse Practitioners take care of you. Beware!

When I first saw Dr. Bhatia I had been searching for the right doctor for a long while; I told him my symptoms and he ordered more tests than any one person reasonably needs, but because I had been sick for several years and had no diagnosis I agreed to the expensive tests. Amazingly, every test was "abnormal" and I had to have another round of useless testing. I had severe migraines, chronic pain, muscle spasms, and tachycardia. The diagnosis he gave me? Anxiety. Naturally, I started looking for another doctor. As it turns out I had a condition called Chiari Malformation, which was would have been visible on my first MRI but Dr. Bhatia must not have noticed. When I was finally diagnosed my surgeon told me the build up of pressure in my brain was so bad I would not live long without surgery. The misdiagnosis was obviously my biggest complaint, but I honestly think he runs unnecessary tests just to run up the bill. I wouldn't see him again if my life depended on it, and definitely would… never recommend him to anyone. I would put zero stars if it were an option.

I went into the emergency room because my blood pressure dropped very low. I was weak and could not see. While in emergency, Dr. Bhatia sent another doctor to check on me. I had never seen this doctor before. While in the hospital, they discovered I had pneumonia. However, Dr. Bhatia never came by to check on me. The doctor I had seen in emergency came by one more time to tell me I had pneumonia, and I was given antibiotics by IV. On the day of my release another doctor (unknown to me) came by to sign release. I have been a patient of Dr. Bhatia for more than two years. I rarely see him. I am also seen by his PA. Orders a lot of tests, but little doctoring. Poor patient care. He will not get anymore of my money.

My first appointment, I was impressed. He spent a lot of time listening to me and ordered appropriate testing. Based on my positive experience, my husband scheduled an appointment and was impressed as well. That didn't last long. The following appointments, Dr. Bhatia spent less than 5 minutes in the exam room and was in a hurry to get out. Several times, my husband would return their call about his lab results. They told him that he had all these abnormal results, which of course freaked him out. He would go get a copy of his labs and everything would be normal. After several times, it was obvious they were giving him results of another patient (my husband has a very common name). I had a liver issue and they told me I was hepatitis A positive. Told them I had the hep A vaccine years earlier. Told me they didn't know then. I went to the health department with the results in hand. They looked at it and told me it was positive because I had received the vaccination for it. The office is… very disorganized. The "nurses" who the patients see are usually not nurses. They are CNAs (Certified Nursing Assistants). They do your shots, EKGs, etc. At that time, I only knew of one "nurse" that was actually a LVN. Please be careful if you decide to go there. The safety aspect worries me.

We were very disappointed at the quality of care we received. From the start to the end the staff was very rude and disorganized, no one knew what was going on in that place. The wait was too long and the staff and doctor were rude and did not care at all. Horrible experience Do Not see this Doctor !!
