Dr. Usha Dhar, MD

Excellent doctor - very compassionate & helpful. I’ve been coming to her for 30 years now - trust her judgement completely.

My mother and I were both patients of Dr. Dhar. Over a ten year period, Dr. Dhar misdiagnosed, ignored, and dismissed the blatant symptoms of a progressively debilitating disease that ended up disabling my mother in her prime. This disease is not particularly rare, and if caught relatively early, could have been treated and it's progression kept in check, but Because of what I believe to be Dr. Dhar's egotistical incompetence, my mother didn't get the treatment she needed and now leads a "life" of CONSTANT pain and discomfort. A few years later, when I began to exhibit unmistakeable symptoms of what turned out to be the same disease (it has a strong genetic component), Dr. Dhar tried to convince me that I had tendonitis, and balked at making a referral to the proper specialist. Firing Dr. Dhar and her difficult assistant was the healthiest decision my mother and I have EVER made.

Numerous misdiagnoses, sometimes ignores symptoms and has to be told repeatedly over several appointments before issue is addressed. Has prescribed counter-indicated drugs.
