As others have said, couldn't care at all for my wellbeing. Rushed out and only there to collect payments. Avoid at all costs.

If I could give a no star rating I would. She is very rude and disrespectful. Her concern for the patient is nonexistent. It has been time since my school aged daughter was treated,however the opportinuty presented itself for me to review her. I complained to the facility regarding her care. She rushed her care and never fully diagnosed my sick daughter. She then proceded to rush us out of the room. Said " please hurry we have other patients to see." The lobby was empty when we left. If she does not like dealing with people then the medical profession is not for her. Do not see this doctor or waste your time and money at this facility. The absolute worst traetment I have ever received.

Dr. Bhatnagar- profile states that she is good in the Geriatric area, and took this up in school, but I went to her office and I am over 50 and she could care less about me. She showed it in her attitude. She is no good.

This Doctor is now part of a practice located in Olney, Md. As a new patient who has seen her twice, I have had nothing but positive comments on her behalf.

Dr Bhatnagar is fantastic. She heard my symptoms - asked the right questions and got to the bottom of my illness immediately. She is not my doctor!!
