Reviews
“I have a nonverbal Disabled Brother who was having rectal bleeding. Dr. Bhandari did not waste any time and took care of him and ordered the required tests and referrals, which allowed us to help my brother get to the root of the matter. Provider is very Caring and Knowledgable.”

“Dr. Bhandari is an exceptional doctor. First, he’s a great listener, careful to hear me out and understand my issues as well as possible. He then discusses different approaches, asks for my thoughts, and presents a course of action based on all available information, fully explaining his logic. And then, he encourages updates and follows up using the patient portal better than any doctor I’ve ever dealt with. He remains engaged and makes it clear how much he cares how I’m doing between visits. He has significantly improved my symptoms, which several other doctors were unsuccessful doing, and I couldn’t be more appreciative.”

“Dr. Bhandari is one of the best doctors I have ever visited. I saw three other gastroenterologists before coming to Dr. Bhandari with no help for my issues. Dr. Bhandari was the only one who finally was able to find the root of the problem and actually help! He is a kind physician who listens to you, explains everything thoroughly and in a manner that is easy for a non-medical person to understand. I make the drive to Emerson from Sussex County and will continue to recommend all of my friends and family to his care. I am so grateful for his expertise.”
