To be quite honest Dr. Bhardwaj and his team are of the finest caliber. They truly care about their patients well being and comfort. We recently moved to the central valley from the bay area to which we have grown accustom to going to major hospitals where they have specialists on site. It was a shock to see that the process was so different here, you need to get a referral from your primary to see a urologist.
My father recently had a knee surgery in which the aftermath caused him to have urine retention, sending us rushing to the ER to get a catheter placed. TWO WEEKS later we are still waiting for a referral to see a urologist. My father is clearly scared and has painful discomfort with his first catheter. I called many time, 8 consecutive days to his primary with no help, they said it's a process and to be patient.
When we had a follow up with his knee surgeon he was shocked to hear that he had not gone to see a urologist THREE WEEKS LATER. Our surgeon said he was going to call his colleague Dr. Bhardwaj to see my father right away. Dr. Bhardwaj's called us that day and we were able to see them the next day.
Dr. Bhardwaj found that my dad had an enlarged prostate which was at an alarming size, he asked us to come in the next day so he could do an ultrasound. The nurse even let us know that they never did ultrasounds on Friday because they have a Dr. Gill from USC who does clinicals that day.
Long story short Dr. Bhardwaj found on the ultrasound that only option for my father was surgery due to how large his prostate had grown.
But because of Dr. Bhardwaj's thoughtful planning my father was able to see Dr. Gill that same day, who was the top surgeon in the nation for that exact surgery. Dr. Gill is always booked 3 months in advanced but because of Dr. Bhardwaj my father was able to schedule his surgery in less then a month. I have never come across such a thoughtful and honest physician.
Dr. Bhardwaj talks to you with honesty and compassion which is rare to see that duality. On top of all of this, his support staff Alva and Melissa are so kind and always do their best to keep their patients comfortable and at ease. The facilities are also very clean and modern. Being the Keck School of Medicine of University of Southern California means that have all the latest technology and knowledge in the field of urology.
If you need a urologist I implore you to go see Dr. Bhardwaj and his team. You will be in the best hands possible. (Here's the kicker, it took 32 days to finally get a referral from my dad's primary doctor when Dr. Bhardwaj took us in practically the same day)
cared so much that he made an exception for my father and actually he wanted Dr. Gill read more
