First of all, the first question I pressed the wrong button. I've known Dr. Bhandari for several years now, and I'm very happy, I was very happy to see him. I haven't seen him in a couple of years. So to me, he's the best. So that's all I can say about him. Thank you.

The lady who performed the stress-echo was excellent. She was also able to have me see Dr. Bhandari the same afternoon, as I had newly diagnosed Atrial fibrillation. Dr. Bhandari changed my medications, adding new drugs to treat my condition for which i was extremely grateful, even though one of the drugs, eloquis requires me to pay $384/month as my co-pay.
October 03, 2024
He is one in a million. The most competent E P that one could ever hope to see!!!
September 26, 2024
As always, I leave the office confident and relaxed, which has an additional benefit for my not so relaxed heart. lol (PHI removed) retired R.N.
August 29, 2024
It's the long waiting for the doctor that is the problem!
August 29, 2024
Excellent
August 28, 2024
I have been in probably in four different hospitals in my 76 years, 77 years of my life. This was the number one place, and I'd go back in a flash, I would send anybody in there. Perfect service. That whole staff up there, all the nurse ladies, the nurse guys, the doctor, very, very informative. They informed me perfect. And the treatment was absolutely wild great, super great. I can't tell you enough about it. Thank you.
August 27, 2024
Very pleased with Dr Bhandari.
August 20, 2024
I am sure the Doctor does what he can considering my condition.
August 15, 2024
Thank you for spending more time for questions.
August 15, 2024
Well, all the staff and the way they walk and take the time to ask how you feel are very good. All the nurses are there as well as the doctor and the doctor is a very professional person. Of course I have recommended him and I will continue to recommend him because it has (unreadable) how do you feel, how the medication is doing for you, or if you have any questions that one (unreadable). He is definitely a very good, very professional doctor. May God bless him and his entire team.
August 15, 2024
It needs to be noted that Dr. Bhandari used his talent and long years of service to calm me down during my visit. As a patient, I was upset and did not understand my issue at hand. Dr. Bhandari totally took the time to address my emotionality and used data, kindness and respect to not only explain what I did not comprehend but to also comfort the deep loss from where it originated. On my drive home, I reflected on his kindness and felt totally happy that I had access to such a physician.
August 07, 2024
Yes, I didn't mean to push the two twos of the first two, third and fourth question number one. Number two, (name removed) was great. She called me. I had to get a cancellation because I had a lot going on and she stayed on top of it. So I give her a 10 thumbs up. Any questions, you can call me (PhI removed) Thank you. Bye.
August 05, 2024
All is very much appreciated for the expertise & time given to me!
August 01, 2024
My comments are not about this provider but about the restrooms in the hallway on the 5th Floor. They need more/better HOOKS! So patients can place our purses, coats, umbrellas etc. They need high and low hooks. Suitable for wheel chair patients AND for walking patients with long wet winter raincoats. Hey folks the hooks cost less than $10. Labor costs more. PIH has enough resources to provide suitable hooks to all the restrooms in the entire building.
July 25, 2024
Staff were friendly and helpful.
July 23, 2024
It is so great to have a Doctor that doesn't try to leave the room as soon as possible. I consider myself very lucky to have been referred to Dr. Bhandari.
July 23, 2024
I always have greatexperience with provider and staffs. This office is very clean.
July 18, 2024

July 02, 2024
My experience was exceptional!
June 27, 2024
The method by which a patient is notified of upcoming appointments needs to be simplified and work better.
June 21, 2024
Yes, I love Dr. Bhandari. He's a very good doctor. But the office in Palmdale needs to call to remind about appointments because I missed my appointment on the 21st. They need to call like a day before. They need to call people the day before to remind them about their appointment. Thank you.
June 21, 2024
I made my appointment last year and my card said my appointment was on June 21, 2023. When I went to the appointment, everyone in the office said I did not have an appointment and I needed to go home, that the doctor was not going to be there. I could try and call him. I tried to call him. I finally got a hold of his staff who said you don't have any appointments with him. We don't know what you're talking about. I said I normally see him every, I forget whether it was three months or six months, but this would be a follow-up appointment. They said, okay, we'll check. They came back and said you should not have any more appointments with Dr. Bhandari. Funny thing is they called me up this week and said, hey, you have an appointment on the 21st. I tried to explain to them.
June 20, 2024
One of the staff members, her name is (name removed) I believe, was just superb, friendly, supportive, and very knowledgeable. I know that she is somewhat new, but she is very good at what she does. Thanks.
June 13, 2024
My experience was exasperating. The visit took less time than it took to valet my car. In a sort of "gotcha" moment, after asking how I felt, to which I answered "fine"..I was told that a moniter, worn several months ago, showed that I was in A-Fib again and I needed another ablation or be on blood thinners the rest of my life. No real discussion....and apparently no prescription for the "blood thinner" that would keep him from worrying about my having a stroke! I am learning more about my prospects in chatting with my husband's concierge doctor, a cardiologist retired from Scripps, and actively looking for a cardiologist in Orange County. For David Cannom I would have driven anywhere, but for this experience, NO. Surely, you have also noted the appalling tent encampment along Wilshire Blvd. Will not be making that drive again.
June 11, 2024
Dr. Bhandari is the most caring and knowledgeable doctor I have ever had. He listens carefully to every concern and is so thorough. He is the best. The girls in the office are top notch. They are always polite and cheerful regardless of how busy the office is.

May 07, 2024
Dr. Bhandari is caring and extremely competent
April 11, 2024
Dr. Bhandari was extremely attentive and spoke very clearly and in terms I could understand. A lot of doctors seem to want to impress patients with there vocabulary, using words I don't know or can say.. Dr Bhandari isn't like that.. That is impressive to me..
April 11, 2024
I pushed the wrong button on the third question. They should all be fours and tens. Excellent care, very excellent care. Impressed with the expertise, the kindness and empathy. Excellent visit, all fours and all tens. Thank you.

Dr. Bhandari is very thorough and caring
March 21, 2024
The office manager interrupted our consultation with our doctor. We feel that we should be able to get uninterrupted consultations with our doctor. It was also breached our privacy!
March 07, 2024
Dr. Bhandari has been my cardiologist for many years. He has a warm bedside manner, he listens and shows concern, compassion, and a desire to provide the best possible care for me.
March 01, 2024
Everyone I encountered in the office was courteous, respectful and very pleasant. I trust Dr Bhandari completely and his Nurse Practitioner was amazing. I'm completely at ease there and feel my health is a priority with them.
February 26, 2024

February 06, 2024
If I can get a little more information from them and some more answers I would feel a little more confident about what is trying to be accomplished with me for the sake of knowing a little more about what's about to happen for me to make my heath better for the conditions that I have that they say should be treated for the time frame that is set aside for me to treated to get my health better.
February 02, 2024
Very good experience,
February 01, 2024
Yes, I would, yes I would, whatever, oh God, what am I trying to say? I would recommend him to anyone that needed help, as far as this doctor's concerned, with your heart or whatever. He's a very nice doctor. I've been with him for years. And my husband was also with him before he passed away. I think he is a great doctor. Thank you.
February 01, 2024
None of the examination rooms in this office, have hooks to hang One's raincoat, umbrellas, clothes or purses. If there's only one chair in a room and you have to sit on it, there's no place to put your clothing items too. Please install hooks on the back of every door and on open space in the exam room. Staff have places to put their purses coats, jackets etc. So they don't know how inconvenient the situation is for patients.
February 01, 2024
Dr. Bhandari is a good, kind physician who has cared for me for over 10 years. I have recommended friends and family to him.
January 30, 2024

January 25, 2024
A wonderful hospital
January 23, 2024
Everything was done well. In fact, I changed my insurance company just so I could go to this doctor. That's how much I liked him. I had had him before, but my old insurance company had dropped him. Goodbye.

January 09, 2024
Excellent office staff and physician.
January 04, 2024
Very efficient and pleasant
December 21, 2023
Well, I would say that this entire staff treated me very well, and I think it's important for a doctor's office to understand that we're not just dealing with a patient, and I know it's standard to say, but also a person, but we're also dealing with a well-paying customer, period. Oh, sure, we have insurance, but really, we are a paying customer, and I think that's a proper attitude of respect from an office to a patient, and I think, without announcing that I'm a customer, I think this office treated me like they were thankful I was there. Now, thank you.
December 21, 2023
I like the new offices. A long time patient, I receive excellent service from everyone.
December 14, 2023

I would recommend him to family and friends, anybody really.
