Dr. Bhagavan was helpful in that she provided me the opportunity to get my lab work completed. However, my experience with her interpersonally was subpar. I felt belittled and disregarded as a human in her office. I honestly don't understand all the positive reviews. I will not be returning.

Dr. Bhagavan is one of the best Dr.'s I've ever seen. She is truly interested in your health and the providing you with the best treatment. There is no dismissal of problems and really takes the time to listen to you. There is no rush to get out of the room as where I felt at other places they wanted the 2 minute diagnosis (1 minute to listen to what was wrong and 1 minute to write a script). I would highly recommend her.

She seems a little quick in drawing conclusions and prescribing pills/drugs if the lab or office test numbers do not conform to the "norm" without digging much deeper or getting to understand my unique personal conditions beyond the standard questionaire in full. Seems not to have enough dedicated time to spend and to be rushed.
