After waiting two months for an appointment with this Dr. I received a call from his office telling…read moreme "He wasn't available to see clients due to COVID, indefinitely"!. His assistant then asked me to reschedule for an appointment next month, but didn't know if he'd be available; wow! I'm in the process of filing a complaint with my Insurance Carrier (Blue Shield), Dr.'s like these shouldn't be seeing patience, in fact they shouldn't even be in practice at all. Somehow by graduating medical school, physicians like these believe their time is more valuable then anyone else's. Don't wait in line to see these people, it's a waste of your time!

I have no idea how this doctor stays in business. I was referred to him by my primary care doctor…read moreand called the same day to schedule an appointment. The receptionist took all my information, including my insurance details, and told me someone would call in a few days to schedule. A week passed with no call, so I followed up. This time, I reached an answering service - even though it was during business hours. They took my information again and assured me the office would call me back. That never happened. I called a third time and, once again, got the answering service. Same routine - took my information, promised a callback. Still nothing. On my fourth attempt, I was again connected to the answering service. This time, the person said they would transfer me directly to the office, only for my call to go straight to voicemail. I left yet another message and, unsurprisingly, never heard back. It has now been nine weeks since my first attempt to schedule an appointment, and I have yet to receive a single call back. Completely unprofessional and unacceptable. Safe to say, I won't be seeing this doctor.

Absolutely HORRIBLE. He talks to my other doctors on Friday and asks me to come in on Monday so he…read morecan explain everything and the plan they agreed on. When I get there on Monday, he says "Why are you here again?" When I remind him that he was supposed to tell me about his discussion and plan with the other doctors he says, he says "Oh I don't know what to do" and those exact words is all I can get out of him despite asking over and over what they talked about. When I find out about the tests he was supposed to have ordered, I do get a call back (surprisingly since my previous 10+ calls went unanswered), but he says "I have no idea about tests or a plan with your other doctors and if they want tests they will have to order them". But HE is the pulmonologist not them, they can't order them, HE has to order pulmonology tests. And the fact that he can't even tell me about his discussion with the other doctors or that there even was any plan! Sheesh, it should at least be in his notes. He doesn't even deserve 1 star. NEVER go to him, get another referral.

This office consistently occupies residential parking spaces designated for the neighboring…read morecommunity, several of whose residents have mobility impairments and rely on those spots for accessibility. After raising this concern directly with the office manager, the situation improved temporarily, however, the problem has since resumed. Given that the Civic Center parking lot is located directly across the street, there is a readily available alternative for staff and patients. I would strongly encourage management to implement a lasting solution out of consideration for the residents affected.

My experience with Dr. Bhaskar was one of the worst experiences I have had either working in the…read moremedical field or as a patient. I came in with an X-ray and unexplained wheezing that has been impacting me for over 2 months. Upon reading the X-rays, which two radiologists agree showed a mass, Dr. Bhaskar determined that it was just veins and there was nothing in the X-ray. We had to convince him to allow us to get a CT, and the CT results found that there was a Hilar mass and it had grown from what was shown on the X-ray. After waiting for over a month to receive a call back from the office or the Doctor to discuss the results and go over the next steps, I finally had to call the office. The receptionist informed me that the Dr. marked the results as read and asked if I wanted to schedule a breathing test to see how bad my asthma is. I brought the results to the Dr. who I work for and she immediately got me into contact with a new pulmonologist. To make a long story short short the "non-existing masses" that Doctor Bhaskar diagnosed as asthma were actually actually Non-Necrotizing Granulomas that were indicative of an auto-immune condition that was completely out of control. Due to Doctor Bhaskar's carless follow up with my CT results, the condition was able to progress for another 3 months, resulting in a need for extreme medication to help me mitigate my symptoms. If you need a doctor to say, "Yes that other doctor is correct you have asthma and need inhalers" this is the doctor for you. But if you need a doctor to actually followup and read your medical results I would recommend going elsewhere. To make a long story short, this Doctor is dismissive, lacks any urgency for patients, and should only be treating pre diagnosed conditions. (By the way I still have not received any follow up in regards to the hilar mass almost 5 months later)

Avoid this office at all costs. The staff here is absolutely incompetent! I have been having…read moreserious complications with my medication and I cannot get in to see the Dr. or the P.A.. I have been told for more than 3 weeks now that they will call me for an appointment. Still nothing to this day. I call everyday like an idiot trying to get an appointment with the same lies given in return. "we will call you back today". I have had to regulate my medications on my own without medical advice. I'm going to look into a malpractice suit for incompetence.

Terrible experience like many others trying to schedule here. I wrote in to their website trying to…read morerequest an appointment on April 21st. I finally ended up calling because they never replied until May 29th and when they did reply they left the string of emails on their email to me with them telling one another to respond to me so weird and unprofessional, but I let it go. When I called in I had a couple terrible experiences trying to schedule... the woman said she could not find my referral in the large stack of faxes that they have and that they were "behind"... I had my doctor send in the referral again. They sent a text with information about my appointment and it says to reply if you have any questions. I replied with a question and it took days and another text before I finally got a response. They scheduled me with a male doctor whose name is nowhere on their website. I called and asked to be scheduled with a female doctor instead (explained this was due to severe anxiety especially with male doctors)... after hours combined on the phone I finally had an appointment scheduled for a virtual appointment with Dr. Tran on July 7th! I scheduled this appointment with Dr. Tran on May 1st, but agreed to wait over two months, because I wanted a female doctor and a virtual appointment. They confirmed these details and sent me a text. Mid-June they called and left a voicemail saying Dr. Tran only does virtual appointments for follow ups and not initial appointments. I had explained during my original call that I have limited mobility, already have a CPAP machine that I've been using for years and could have my husband bring in the machine and mask if it would help to see them and I could meet on video chat for anything else. They had agreed at that time, including a call from my primary care's office who had also confirmed. So when they called with this new info in the middle of June I contacted my primary care doctor's office again and they reached out to Pacific Pulmonary to make sure my appointment was virtual and still okay for 7/7 which they confirmed it was. Fast forward a week or so, I received another call saying they had an appointment sooner and asking me to call back. I called and just got a voicemail so called again the next day. They acted like they had no idea why I was calling and confirmed that my appointment was still scheduled for 7/7 with Dr. Tran for a virtual appointment... great. I received a text on Monday of this week asking me to confirm the appointment which I did. Then, today I receive a voicemail from someone named Jessica who says the doctor said they have to move my appointment to tomorrow with some male doctor's name and to call them back so they can explain why they're moving it. Umm what?! I called back and she reiterates the same information. I told her I cannot change to tomorrow and that I had specifically asked for a female doctor which is why I was scheduled with Dr. Tran. She places me on hold and comes back and says "okay, we can keep the appointment for Monday, but you'll need to come in person". Ummm that is not an option which both myself and my primary care doctor's office had now confirmed with multiple people multiple different times. She basically acted like there was nothing else she could do so I told her to just go ahead and cancel my appointment because I've lost all trust in this office. She said okay in a very rushed voice. No, I'm sorry you've wasted over two months and who knows how many phone calls and messages to now have had absolutely nothing actually done. I would not recommend this office to anyone. I have still not received a text or email confirming my appointment has actually been cancelled. I texted the number earlier today to get some sort of confirmation, because I don't want them accusing me of missing this appointment on Monday. As you may have guessed though, they have not responded yet. Such a waste of time and not once in any of my communications have I felt valued or like they cared if I actually stayed with them. Definitely recommend avoiding if at all possible.
