Today was my first time going to Bharathi Vayuvehula's office in Glendora. I arrived at 3:20 for my 3:30 appointment. At 4:30 I walked out having never seen the doctor or even making it to an exam room. I was tired of sitting in the waiting room with no communication as to why my appointment was delayed. BTW - it's a very ugly waiting room. I'll be sending Bharathi a bill for wasting my time. Are doctors not taught time management in school? read more

She was a good doctor but she kept her office grossly understaffed for the number of patients they were trying to handle. The MA was doing everything. Mistakes were made because she was juggling too much for one person. Very frustrating experience for the patients. One time they referred me out to a place that doesn't take my insurance for an X-ray or something, and then denied that could have possibly happened. Then it went from bad to worse when they moved to the new location on Grand and the pandemic started. The office was completely nonfunctional during that time, keeping doors locked and not answering phones. It was being run by her daughter at that time Dr. Swapna Phadnis, and ran her mother's practice into the ground, IMO. She was seemingly never there even after her maternity leave. She seemed to take the whole pandemic as extended maternity leave. She had no idea what surgery I was trying to get her to clear me for up to the day before and then she wouldn't do it. I had to reschedule my surgery from that Thursday to the following Monday. The advocate my insurance assigned to me couldn't get through to them on the phone either and encouraged me to change primary care. One of my last visits there I asked about the second person helping that they used to have when they were on Rt. 66, and I was told she was "no longer with them". Then I saw her walking down the hall. Gaslighting. When I asked for clarification, I was told well she's here working on a "special project", unavailable to answer phones or help with patients. Then when they told me they would not be taking my insurance anymore I was actually happy to be pushed to look for something better for myself. I did find another woman doctor that I like but that office is also understaffed and frustrating mistakes happen. Not to the level of Dr. V's office was running. I drove by after visiting the nearby urgent care and noticed that they're no longer there on Grand. Hopefully they went out of business but I have a feeling that they just moved back to the old location after that building was remodeled on Rt. 66. I wouldn't go back to Dr. Phadnis or that experience ever again. read more

I just posted this on the listing for her office not realizing she has her own separate listing, so here it is! TL/DR: Be a strong advocate for your health or it could kill you. This doctor and her staff don't give a lick about you. I was a patient of Dr. V for only a year, maybe 2 back in 2015-2016. I had only met her once but we'll get to that later. Every other visit had been with her Nurse Practitioner, Jason, and although he seems nice he required more sternness when listening to my requests than I would have liked. I had blood in my urine on and off for months AND a history of kidney cancer yet he only wanted to get an ultrasound of my bladder. He thought the blood could have been menstrual spotting but I had to explain to him that I knew the difference between menstrual blood and blood coming from my urethra. Only when I was adamant they needed to check my kidney, too, did he give in and add checking my left kidney to the order. I also advised they take a urine sample which he declined. I, again, insisted and low and behold, I gifted him a urethral blood clot! (I felt it coming which is why I insisted on the first place.) During my ultrasound not only was it discovered that my cancer had returned, but that the mass that metastasized into local lymph nodes was quite large and had the nephrologist they sent me to sincerely concerned. I honestly don't know why they didn't immediately send me to a urologist but I gave them the benefit of the doubt considering the referral was ordered by the doctor herself and not her NP. (The doctor who I still haven't met in person.) The nephrologist was the one to refer me to a urologist. Skipping ahead a few months after my massive surgery and a referral to an oncologist (another nightmare and disgrace to her profession), I was prescribed an "oral chemotherapy" as "preventative treatment" for this Renal Cell Carcinoma they just removed. If you've ever been on chemotherapy you know that most make you feel like the walking dead. My prescription was for 2 weeks on the meds and 1 week off so if I was lucky, I was getting about 4-7 decent to good days per MONTH. That oncologist wanted me to take those pills for the rest of my life! How does that all relate to Dr. V, you ask? I know she can't control the poor decisions of other doctors but the one and only time I met Dr. V face to face was to request a second opinion about this oncologist's treatment plan. By this time, I had been on these killer pills for about 8-9 months and couldn't imagine living this sickly and purposeless life for the rest of my days. When I asked Dr. V about getting a second opinion she responded with a chuckle and scoffed at my request saying, "you're not shopping for tomatoes". I'll never forget her indifference and lack of empathy and decorum. I, again, had to be my own advocate and insist she submit for a referral authorization for a second opinion. I ended up speaking with 2 other oncologists including one from City of Hope. The second I paid for out of my own pocket for good measure. Both informed me that the oncologist I was currently with was using the oral chemotherapy outside of its approved uses and advised I stop taking it immediately as it could end up killing me sooner than the cancer would. I'm glad to know my body and my rights well enough to be able to advocate for my own health and pray that if you choose to use this doctor, I wouldn't trust her or her staff with anything serious. Maybe a sinus infection or just to get referrals to the specialists you know you need but that's pretty much it. She's otherwise useless and does NOT care about what's best for her patients since we apparently treat our health and wellbeing as if we're shopping for f'ing produce. read more

Worst follow up and worst doctor you can go to. They never return your calls and they don't care about loosing a client. It takes forever to get an appt. I gave them many chances. They like to put you on hold forever. Never go here. They don't call you back, they don't follow up. The doctor even gave me the wrong diagnosis for my daughter. My new doctor answered all my questions within minutes and it was so easy to get an appt. on the same week I signed up. read more

i switched doctors due to my insurance about 2 years now. since i made the switch i have been having such a hard time getting my inhaler refiiled every month. i have never had a problem with my inhaler refill since i was diagnosed when i was 11. i am 37 now. it is ridiculous. last time they told me they coudn't refill my prescription becuase i had not seen the doctor in over 6 months. hello!!!!! i have asthma, im not requesting a pain killer or narcotic refill. if you have asthma, you know hard difficult it is to be short of breath. it's very disappointing. read more

As a doctor you have to work to get only a two and a half star review. All these people have to do is return phone calls yet they refuse to do so. It's a shame to know that some people are relying on this medical group for their health. They should just close their doors and go away at this point read more

I really love the doctors and the front desk girls they always been so helpful and Doctor Bharathi Vayuvegula and Doctor Jason Torres are the best life savers I ever know they been so helpful and understanding with my daughter who is been suffering from brain tumors I never have any problems with the referrals and as my self they sent me to the best pain management team I'm very happy and thankful for everything they have done for us. I really appreciate. read more

By Far the best Doctor I've found for my children! I completely understand why this place gets busy.. but even in chaos the doctors and staff are Awesome and so professional! Anyone leaving bad reviews must be confused with another practice! 1000% recommended!! Keep up the Great work guys read more

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK.... I feel so bad for taking so long to write my review!!! But I just wanted to Thank everyone for helping me! It has been hard for everyone since COVID hit. And it's hard for everyone to adjust! But the Dr and the girls in the office made sure I was seen after my accident. And have helped me with my spur of the moment "Help Me" LOL.... I really appreciate you hanging in there and putting up with me. I totally understand the whole new procedure now that COVID has hit. And who else comes out and even does curb side service like you? LOL Love the new location and office too! Thank you for all y'all do!!! read more

Hands down one the WORST primary doctors out there. She is extremely judgmental - ready to pump you up with scrips so she make her money ( even if you don't need them). She runs several clinics in the area including one urgent care and racking in the money - a very greedy person. Does not address certain issues - brushes them off. Is not a body positive encouraging person even after 40 lbs weight loss. I have very obvious lips tattood on my neck and she asked me if it was a hicky?? Who does that. I thought this woman retired and her daughter took over. This is what I was told on the phone by one of her receptionists. They said that the daughter had taken over and she is more compassionate. When I showed up and saw her my blood pressure went through the roof because of my experience her in the past. I have a severe nail issue and all she accused me of was that I pick my nails. She rather prescribe and over medicate than write a referral to a doctor that specializes in the issue. She does not believe that salt has anything to do with high blood pressure. Instead I was schooled that I might have lower blood pressure if I did not have the need for a plan B pill.... No lady, I would have lower blood pressure, if the daughter was there instead of her. She is all about the money , judgement and negativity. Velcro shot on all the blood pressure devices and she wanted to prescribe me high blood pressure medication and diabetic meds after just having it a bit high in her office. I checked my pressure after I left and ALL day today and its NORMAL. I do not even have diabetes and just lost 40lbs and going - eating all the things I should so I have no idea why this woman wanted to push all these drugs on me. PLUS - I have anxiety and she want to make sure I am taking my Claritin everyday? Umm no - I cant even sleep on it????? Every time I seem to call they are on lunch and take off early at random. Switched my primary care today and not looking back. My experience the other day was extremely upsetting. Do yourself a favor and go elsewhere. If you are different in any way - tattoos or different colored hair you can expect massive judgement , especially , if you are female. This place is so bad that I am convinced that any good reviews are either people that truly never had to deal with her face to face during Covid or are her friends that she asked to leave a review. read more

Listen to the reviews. The worst doctor I've ever been to. I'm better off driving to Fullerton. Can't ever make appointments, apparently always busy. Always told to call back. They never answer the phone when you need something and refuse to fill out paperwork if you need it. Absolutely the worst doctor I've seen in my 25 years on this Earth. Absolutely not a single care for this patients. What a shame. If it isn't evident that this place is a dumpster fire then their receptionists will show you how trash they are. How do people like this get a medical degree? Put a shame to good doctors read more

Bharathi S Vayuvegula, MD - Fuck this place - Family Practice Near Me - Glendora, California

I was concerned when I read the other reviews, but since Dr. Vee was the only doctor that our health plan would allow us to transfer to in my area, I had to go to this office. I showed up to their office at 9 AM without an appt for my son. I was quickly greeted by the front desk staff and taken care of right away. They sent my son's referral request the same day. I gave 4 stars because I did have to call the office a few times for corrections BUT they have always answered and been very professional and have always followed up ASAP with my requests. SO really it should be 4.75 stars if they had that! The service was amazing for me and my son. I couldn't have been more pleasantly surprised. read more

I've only been with Dr. V since all this Covid bullshit started. I've dealt with three other doctors this year who are completely worthless. But in that short time with Dr V, I've had a phone appointment with her which she was perfectly on schedule, extremely kind, and super helpful. Seconds after talking to her I received an order to get x-rays, Immediately after I had the x-rays done doctor gave me a referral to an orthopedic. I have a foot problem, I called she immediately got me x-rays ordered, and then immediately after that got an a referral to the podiatrist. The one staff lady I've been talking to is completely helpful, and I don't understand the bad reviews here. I've left bad reviews for many other doctors, but this one seems great! They Get you referred to where you need immediately, they're very nice, the only problem would be they don't answer the phone all the time but that's understandable. Believe me, I'm the first to leave a crappy review if I need to, but this doctors office is great.... for me at least. And I'm kind of a cranky jerk read more

I love this office, staff is amazing the office manager Marlina is the best very professional and efficient. I also take my kids to see Dr. V I have nothing but good things to say about this office! I always leave here in a good mood read more

Worst Doctor on the face of the planet. If I can leave negative Stars I would there's never been search malpractice in my entire life that I've seen. I strongly urge you to avoid this doctor like you would avoid the plague read more

I was very concerned by the reviews of this doctor's office but was forced to get new insurance as my past insurance did not renew with the Government insurance this year. I was placed with this doctor and was quite concerned by the reviews but chose to give this doctor a fair open minded opportunity. I was pleasantly surprised and very satisfied with the treatment from this doctor. I have made a number of calls to the office for various personal issues needing assistance and appointment help and the girls have been most professional and friendly. I believe you must form your own opinion on people every one may have a bad day. As I said I have made a number of calls to this office and not a single bad call. They have even called the doctor at her home for me. The doctor and office staff have been great. read more

It's unfortunate that you don't have the option to give negative or zero stars on Yelp... But, this is by far the WORST doctors office I have ever been to in my life. Unfortunately they are the only doctor on my stupid insurance plan. The girls that work at the front desk are ridiculous and ALWAYS say I need to "call back tomorrow"... Whether it's to make an appointment or refill a prescription. Just today (which is why I'm writing this review), they told me that all of the doctors in the office just didn't come back from lunch.... Umm... Cool? What kind of medical service is that? Do NOT go to this doctor unless you enjoy ridiculous amounts of anger and frustration. read more

It's too much of a hassle to get an appointment, the blood work has to be done in another facility and they gave me the wrong referral, it's honestly just not worth the hassle read more

Walk in on Tuesday April 7, 2015 no one in the waiting room two people in the room, I could hear a female voice not sure if it's Dr Vee in the background talking she leaves the office the young male Dr yells out from an office, "is there any patients" I can hear the reception girls giggle and say yeeessss! And speaking to each other " lord have mercy" this office is a joke they have no idea what professionalism is. Must I mention they forgot about me in the waiting room then she brings me in to a room soon after that. As I sit waiting finally the Dr comes in ( Jason ) I ask about my lab results from October, the Dr went on the computer to check and saids to me yes we put you on some medication and I respond no I'm not on any medication and he saids well I'm sending you to the lab your triglycerides from then were high. I'm in shock! My eyes wide open! No one had called me to say anything, at this point I'm upset and very frustrated. I need to select a new Dr. read more

I let this one go, but then the office tried billing my insurance again. No, you cannot get paid twice just because I never went back to your office. So, the front desk girls are super nice and friendly. The office is clean as are the exam rooms. BUT Dr. Vee is not there. What you get are nurse practitioners who know little. I will recommend that female patients insist that another female be present while in the examination room. Get one of the desk girls or someone in the waiting area. Just don't be alone. Blood tests should include everything and there should be no need to ask the patient to give blood again if they just went last week. read more
