“Very informative and eye opening visit. The doctor took time to listen to my history and make recommendations and also recommendations that the clinic did not provide that my physician could. It was a wonderfully educational experience and i highly recommend it. ”

“Dr Bhat is the best. He is highly knowledgeable about weight loss, obesity, and diabetes, he is the man that you want to see if you want to reduce your weight quickly and efficiently. I've already lost 6 pounds in the first week with Dr Bhat and I highly recommend him for anyone who wants to lose weight with a sound program. ”

The "nurse" that took my blood pressure didn't know how to use the machine. Took forever just to get that done. She asked all the questions that I filled out on the form. All she had to do was look at it. I've been getting the lipo-shot for months and for some reason, when she injected me, it hurt more than usual. I had a baseball sized swell in my arm and it was excruciatingly painful for three hours after. It still hurts today, but is manageable.

The Doctor was knowledgeable about the medications they provide for diet but I felt like they didn't make an effort to come up with a meal plan specifically for me. I was given the general brochure they give patients that wants to lose weight and told me I just have to figure it out how I'm going to prepare my meals to follow their plan. The issue is I don't have a kitchen I can cook right now and I know I can't follow that plan. By the check out time I saw some products they sell as meal replacements and I asked about it. Maybe if the doctor cared to help me with a diet I can actually follow, she could have taken some time to explain what meals I could replace to be more successful achieving my goals etc. I just feel like I'm on my own and don't have much support. The diet pills are only given every 2 weeks so you have to pay for another consultation. I know for a fact that phentermine is controlled in CA but you can get enough pills for one month. This clinic chooses not to give you enough pills for 30 days to charge another consultation and make money. I do understand if you have to go back in 2 weeks to record your progress but it should be a follow up appointment (meaning that you shouldn't have to pay again). I am a bit frustrated to feel no support from them.

Great!
January 22, 2016Janise S.Verified patient
Good information about good bacteria in the gut but I wish he were more forth coming in "details" without me asking questions. Could have shown a bit more interest in my concerns by backing up my statements with "possible reasons" and "possible solutions". Felt as though he was little rushed & disconnected with me.
Took 20m for Dr. to come into room, normal I suppose.
Cleanliness and organization of first room needs attention.

They listened, they care, and they motivate. I didn't know what to expect since this is my first visit, so I am happy to say that I have found my weight loss partner. Concord Weight Loss Clinic is a one stop shop with options. I immediately trust their knowledge and expertise. They gave me recommendations including questions for my primary physician, and that proves they care. I feel accountable and I need to own that accountability to be successful in the long-term. I appreciate the heart-to-heart on needing to do my part, and on being realistic with my goal setting. I am truly happy with my visit and look forward to my follow-up.

I had severe allergy to cosmetics and hair dye. Dr. Bhat tested me and diagnosed my allergy. I stopped dying my hair, it cleared my skin rash. Dr. Bhat is very knowledgeable, compassionate.
