“Dr Bhalini is very thorough and friendly. She asks me how I was feeling and what my concerns were with my visit.
I appreciate she reviewed notes before hand and not ask the same questions I already answered prior to checking in.
She also does not order unnecessary procedures or test just because she can.
I look forward to seeing her again.”

Dr. Bhalani was incredibly kind and insightful and listened carefully to all my concerns. Due to a chronic illness, I have seen many doctors over my lifetime, and her office and bedside manner are among the best I have interacted with. This allowed me to speak openly with her and her incredibly friendly staff about everything I had concerns about. I am grateful to have found her and her team!

They said that Zocdoc is always inaccurate not to us it. They were going to cancel my appointment then I was rushed because they had no knowledge of my appointment. Other than that all went well
September 14, 2022Queen I.Verified patient
I've been looking for a good PCP for 3 years now, and she is easily the best I've found. She listened to me, answered all my questions thoroughly, and made me feel comfortable the whole appointment. I couldn't recommend her enough!

August 18, 2022John W.Verified patient
Dr Bhalani was courteous and thorough. She ordered several tests to make sure that my complete patient care was up to date with bloodwork, and other follow up specialist testing. She also had me do a follow up well check in two months to review everything with me. I highly recommend her.
August 18, 2022Dominique C.Verified patient
Fantastic! What we all hope a doctor visit is like: fast, on-time, polite, professional, takes time to listen (not rushing me), and very friendly staff!

Clean office with friendly staff, and the doctor was so helpful and gave me all the referrals I needed for the issues I've been pushing off. I'm super happy I found her!
March 2, 2022Kiera C.Verified patient
I checked in for my appointment early. It was requested that I wait for 20 minutes outside the waiting room due to COVID procedures. Before doing so I asked with the front desk if I was “fully checked in for my appointment” they said “yes.” I waited in the hall. I went back into the main waiting room and waited an additional 20 minutes only to be informed, 15 minutes after my appointment start time, that the doctor had left because I “never checked in”. Mind you, I had interacted with and was sitting in front of the desk staff. I had filled out all my paperwork ahead of time. No one called me or called out my name to verify if I was there. I was literally right there in front of the woman who requested I leave and come back. I Will never return. I cannot speak on the doctor but the front desk staff blamed me for their oversight without any apology.

Dr. Bhalani was great - very friendly and considerate. Wait time was nearly nonexistent - I spent maybe 3 minutes in the waiting room and was seen immediately once taken back.
January 30, 2022Lindsey R.Verified patient
The staff was very courteous and helpful short wait time Dr. Bijlani knew exactly what the situation was and was a great listener and able to effect the changes necessary.
January 28, 2022Keith W.Verified patient
I joined as a new patient (having recently relocated to FL) and I would highly recommend this office. The building has free valet parking, lots of signs directing you where to go, and restrooms on every floor. The office itself seemed well-staffed for the number of patients I saw waiting, and everyone was kind and friendly. Dr. Bhalani is a great listener and has great recommendations for referrals and continuing care.
