He is an extremly through doctor. He provides quality service not quantity, hence the wait time. Based on my experience he give the patients their one on one time to properly diagnose you and prescribe the right treatment. If you want quality go to him. If you want rush service find someone else.

Dr Bhardwaj never rushes patients makes sure everything is explained to you in depth, wait is long to see him but very much worth it.
April 9, 2017William M.Verified patient
He is a very good dr, there is no doubt about that. But, i had to wait more than 2 hours to see him, that is absolutely not acceptable. Be aware about that or take a whole day off to see this dr. Good Luck.

Great doctor but the wait time was ridiculous.

This is the kind of doctor we dream we have in reality. His only problem is time management. He treats you like a detective or investigator. He takes down notes of everything you say, so you need to start with the most important and most relevant. He likes to do everything by himself making life easy for his assistants. I waited 3 hours to see him but it was worth the while. The 20 minutes i spent with him there was not a second of time wasted. I believe when it comes to internal medicine, every doctor should be like him
February 26, 2017Mohammed A.Verified patient
Doctor Bhardwaj is vey professional and easy to talk to. All together everything would be great if not for a waiting time !!!! Over 2 hours to see a doctor from time when you'd your appointment scheduled !!! What's the point of making one then ????? AWFUL !!!!
October 19, 2015Dorota K.Verified patient
I liked him as a Dr. he is very knowledgeable about plumonary issues. My PCP gave me a referral to go see a plumonologist of my choice, I chose him because he is close to my house, and come to find out he is close friends with my PCP. So all in all it worked out for the best and would definitely recommend him!

The wait time was a bit long, however he is a very through doctor. The wait was worth it. I think Dr, Bhardwaj is an excellent doctor. I would highly recommed him. The staff was great as well.
March 29, 2014Sangena F.Verified patient
Very nice attentive Dr, however, the wait time was ridiculous! I waited 2 hrs to see the dr. Then was moved to the room to be examined and that was another hour and 15 min. The total time in this office was just under 4 hrs. And their excuse was that they had a lot of new patients, now keep in mind this was a Saturday and their hours are supposed to be from 10:30 am to 3 pm I left at 4:50 and he still had one more patient waiting. There is no excuse for this!
