Smita Bhandari's Online Review Report Card

Dr. Bhandari is a highly skilled and compassionate psychiatrist. I would not hesitate to refer clients and friends to Dr. Bhandari’s office for quality care.

I went to see Smita Bhandari MD 5 years ago. She prescribed me ambien and told me to take it daily. My next appointment I brought up how online it says not to take it for more than 2 weeks straight and how it was highly addictive and she told me not to worry cause she had patients who took it all their lives and were ok. Thank god I didn’t listen and only took it for occasional insomnia. Every doctor I went to after said that’s horrible advice. I stopped seeing the dr because during my last appointment my mom was supposed to call to pay after my appointment and I had trouble reaching her to pay and the dr started getting upset and visibly annoyed so I started getting very worried and explained to my mom to hurry and dr bandeau called my mom and said I was lying. :)

Very nice and listens well

I've been working with Dr. Bhandari for over 3 years, and she has been transformational. I really appreciate how she is an excellent psychiatrist managing my medical prescriptions, as well as serving as a therapist, who can support my mental health as a whole. Her wholistic approach also included talking with my spouse, and "prescribing" daily meditation on top of meds and CBT, which was the accountability I needed. Meditation has changed my entire approach to managing my emotions. Best I've worked with so far.

I have been seeing Dr. Bhandari for 3 years now. From the first session, Dr. Bhandari really listened to me and my concerns about symptom relief and side effects. She is pleasant to be around and understanding that we are all on our own path. Her office is extremely welcoming and even her voice particularly soothing. I trust her medical knowledge and background infinitely! If you are considering her for help, I think you will make the right choice in giving her a call.

Dr. Smita Bhandari is not only a first class doctor and therapist but she is also a great human being. She has great experience and I am very happy to be her patient. She tackles the case with so much care and in such a professional way! She listens to you careful and provides you with great support, great advice and if needed she would resort to medication. Dr. Bhandari treats you as a unique person you are and knows who you are, what you have discussed before and does not miss a detail. It is really hard to choose a psychiatrist. You may encounter lots of problems. and you may not feel at ease . Without any doubt, I highly recommend this incredible doctor .

Dr. Bhandari is truly an amazing psychiatrist, but also an amazing person. I felt so comfortable working with her, and many times it felt like I was just talking to a very very wise friend. She puts so much effort and love into making you the best version of yourself because she truly cares. After working with Dr. Bhandari for not too long, I felt that I had grown into such a better and happier person. When I look back and think about the growth I have made in the past year, it makes me so happy and thankful for where I am today all because of Dr. Bhandari and her excellent skills and warmth.

I can't say enough good things about my experience working with Dr. Bhandari. She really takes the time to get to know her patients before coming up with a personalized treatment plan. Dr. Bhandari is calm, caring, and professional, and I would recommend her to anyone in need of an excellent psychiatrist.

I can honestly say Dr. Bhandari saved my life. At the same time she was kind and compassionate. Never made me feel embarresed or shamed about my conditions. And she never left me in need; I could call and not have an appointment but be in crisis. She found a way to see and help me. I highly reccommend her to anyone needing a psychiatrist. Plus I lived in NYC for 10 years seeing some of the top phychiatrist in the country. Dr. Bhandari was my favorite of all. Thank you Dr. Bhandari I owe my happiness and life to you. Cordially, Joseph Shead

Dr. Bhandari is amazing! It only took 4 appointments with her to get my issues under control and now I will go back to see her as needed. She is so easy to talk to and available whenever you need her. Highly recommended.
