Harpal Bhaika's Online Review Report Card

Lady at front desk had a little bit of a attitude, then I waited 30+ minutes just for the doctor to send me home after 2 minutes of him talking over me rushing me to leave, probably because I have medical, don't go here

Dr Bhaika is an excellent GI Doctor. Friendly and caring staff. He saved my life.

My wife had her colonoscopy done by Dr. Bhaika. She was very pleased with his service. I met the doctor shortly after the procedure. He was very helpful in explaining what the results were. No complaints about the doctor nor his staff.

About Dr Harpal S. Bhaika. I’ve had incurable Crohn’s disease for over 40 years. Dr Bhaika has helped me survive many of those years through countless intestinal blockage hospitalizations. His attention to my health and welfare is unprecedented. It finally required surgery to remove 2 1/2 feet of my small intestine. No matter which local hospital I was in, night or day, he’d track me down and care for me. No one knew better what I needed to than him. I still see him today and will continue as long as he is in practice. You have to understand that what at times seems a curtness is that he gets right to the issues at hand. He’s not there for personal unrelated chit chat. You got a hurt or medical problem he addresses it now. Follow his wise advice. I honestly think and believe this dedicated physician saved my life many times. Wouldn’t be here to write this if it were not for Dr Bhaika. There is a special place in heaven for care givers like him. Rich Partain Bakersfield, CA

I was scheduled for an appointment for upper GI issues. I've been suffering for over 2 years with SIBO. Due to long term use of antibiotics, PPI's and acid reducers. Its extremely painful. The doctor they scheduled me with was Dr. Bhaika, He's one of those type of doctors who will not allow you to say anything, He interrupts you right in the middle of what you're trying to tell him about your condition. He told me that he did not believe in SIBO (Small intestinal bacterial overgrowth). The only thing that he was interested in was scheduling me for a colonoscopy which is not needed for a SIBO diagnosis. I am 63 years old and have been to quite a few doctors especially the last 2 years, Dr Bhaika is the rudest doctor that I've ever interacted with. Kern Gastroenterology is only interested in performing colonoscopies, because of the high profits that are generated. They are not concerned with your condition are any pain or suffering that you're experiencing. It's all about the mighty $

Dr Bhakia is an experienced Dr, but THE STAFF ARE VERY RUDE, disrespectful to elders, disabled. Horrible experience there MORE than once. NOT RECOMMENDED.

Dr. Bhaika is very direct and serious, and he genuinely cares about his patients and their well being. I am so grateful he was there when I was hospitalized. He was so worried about me, and even though I am fine now, he still follows up with me and ensures that I am doing well.

He gives you print out when he does your up and lower GI And also explains in plan English what he did or did not find and make sure you understand the medication that he is giving you and why and how it's should help .

Office staff is terrible, especially Christina. She makes appointments for Dr. Kahal in the same practice...DO NOT GO HERE...WARN YOUR FRIENDS AND FAMILY...
