Vasudha Dhar's Online Review Report Card

I find it disappointing having to write such a negative review about a doctor, I had high hopes for…. I saw Dr. Dhar on May 23rd. Overall, it was a good visit. She recommended an endoscopy as a next step to better understand some of the digestive and stomach issues, I was experiencing. The endoscopy was scheduled for July 22nd. This was the earliest appointment available. On the morning of July 22nd, I arrived at 8:45AM for 9:15AM check in. My actual procedure was scheduled for 10:15AM. Everything to this point was smooth. The nurse that checked me in took really good care of me. They started an IV and I was ready to go or so I thought. I was then transitioned to the OR nurse, anesthesiologist and doctor to ask a few final questions and here’s where the confusion began. The OR nurse only had paperwork for a colonoscopy which was completely different in terms of how I was checked-in/ prepped /scheduled. Dr. Dhar needed to call her office to clarify what procedure I was scheduled for since I was telling her it was an endoscopy and their paperwork was telling them a colonoscopy. To my utter surprise they only had paperwork for a colonoscopy. Dr. Dhar told me her office was working with insurance to get the endoscopy approved so I would do both an endoscopy and colonoscopy. She said it would only take about 10 to 15 minutes. I had no phone, no watch to track time. 2 hours went by as I laid there with no communication about what was going on. During this time, I completely lost confidence in the doctor. I got up to use the bathroom and asked the first nurse that checked me to get my things and remove my IV so I can go home. In total, I was there for 3 hours and left extremely upset and confused. I waited 2 months for this appointment and was looking forward to getting answers to explain how I was feeling. Everything that went into preparing me for my appointment was a complete waste of time. While driving home the doctor called asking me to come back because she was able to get the insurance approvals but at that point having no confidence in this doctor I was not going to allow her to perform the procedures. I need the weekend to process what happened and called the office on Monday asking for Dr. Dhar to call me back so we can talk about what happened and unfortunately, I never heard from her. I find it extremely unprofessional and inhumane. I was very flexible with all of the confusion and mistakes that Dr. Dhar and her office made but having me sit there for two hours was unacceptable and to top it off Dr. Dhar didn’t have the decency to call me back. No one should ever be treated this way.

No one should ever be treated this way.

Dr. Dhar is a smart, empathic individual who takes the time to listen and who delivers high quality, individualized medical care. She’s there for her patients 150%. I’ve never had an experience with a doctor that was better than this.

The office staff is completely unprofessional, irresponsible, and downright incompetent. Dr Dhar set me up for a procedure, i did all the prep work including stopping my blood thinners for a week. I found out the day before that her office staff never set up my procedure with the surgical center. I do not understand how Dr. Dhar is able to run a functioning doctor's office with such an incompetent staff

She is ABSOLUTELY THE BEST DOCTOR YOU WILL FIND. She is so caring, highly intelligent and her office staff is extremely responsive.

I have been going to Dr Dhar for several years. She is one of the best doctors in every way. She listens without rushing you and is so very competent and most of all caring.

Although I have only had 2 visits to Dr. Dhar's office, I have had countless phone calls with the office staff regarding scheduling, billing, and referrals. The office staff is completely unprofessional, irresponsible, and downright negligent. I do not understand how Dr. Dhar is able to run a functioning doctor's office with the way the office staff behaves. They have made costly and timely mistakes and have not returned any of the calls I have made to their office. It's been over 6 months. I feel scammed by this office.

They should have a sixth star for Dr. Dhar.
