Patients also share

The reviews contain very few criticisms. One patient felt dismissed when Dr. Bhat attributed back and shoulder pain to posture without asking further questions. Another noted feeling more invested in resolving their own health issues than Dr. Bhat appeared to be. One reviewer mentioned that concerns raised during a visit were not met with specific advice. A patient noted difficulty communicating due to a language barrier, as Dr. Bhat does not speak Spanish. One reviewer expressed disappointment with changes to the patient portal that limited their ability to initiate communication with the provider.
