Karen Bhaskar, MD

Apparently, Dr. Bhaskar is a good surgeon but is affectless and avoidant as a communicator. She doesn't listen. I had to interrupt her to tell her what I look at all day and what I hope to improve. After surgery had to push her hard to explain adverse effects and point out discrepancies between what she told me and the FDA lens insert (they were approved in 2020) to look at my eye and find "scarring" which she "could try to fix" with a laser. If only I had seen the FDA info before surgery. Laser treatment will make any subsequent surgery much more risky. I will not go back to Polyclinic opthamology. For monofocal implant, she'd be fine. For anything more complicated, go elsewhere or bring an expert with you.

Dr. Bhaskar has an excellent professional skills, always has a time to explain everything to the patient, great surgeon!

Wow, what a bad experience this was! For starters, a basic eye exam took over 3 hours — that’s just poor office management. 90% of the tests were done by a technician, not the doctor, and then the doctor just dismissed what the tech had done. She put factually incorrect data into my chart, claiming that I had contradicted myself when she just hadn’t been listening. I’m seriously considering having the tests repeated by another eye doctor — she was that bad.

Best eye doctor I have visited. Recommend without reservation
