My office experience is always amazing. Suzanne , Chandra , Sabrina are very helpful and friendly. I feel valued whenever I make a phone call or when I'm in the office. My experience is this staff genuinely cares. Dr. Bhuta is at the top of his class of doctors as his knowledge of internal medicine is superior. I can always trust in what he says. I highly recommend this facility to anyone. Thank you Dr. Bhuta and staff for your care. read more

This physician is the worst Ive ever visited. His arrogance regarding his 50 plus years as a "doctor" is a pathetic means to downplay any of your concerns about your health and blood tests you ask for. HE NEEDS TO RETIRE. WORTHLESS OLD MAN who 'examines' you in 5 minutes to make his $50 bucks. He is more concerned about being sued because they try to force you to sign the arbitration agreement as opposed to providing quality care RETIRE ALREADY. YOU ARE WORTHLESS read more

Dr. Bhuta and his right hand man (the nurse with glasses) are generally pretty helpful when you talk to them in person. But the rest of his staff are seemingly not very competent which is pretty frustrating. Example 1 - I made an appointment over the phone and told them I needed a flu shot, when I showed up at my appointment they said they had been out of flu shots for serval days and turned me away. They promised to call me back when they received a new shipment but never called. Example 2 - Another time I called to get a mental health referral and they insisted I needed to come in for an appointment with the doctor in order to get the referral. When I showed up they said mental health appointments are only made over the phone and again turned me away. Two wasted trips to the doctor, for which I had to take time off work, in the span of a couple months... read more

Doctor is an asshole. I suffered a back injury. I ask if it's possible for me to get back to work. He said you can if you don't lift heavier than 10 pounds. I told him I work as a server and it's near impossible for that to happen. He said, " talk to you human recourses," and waved me away. Not even him offering a note, to indicate or support his advice that can't lift anything heavier than 10 lbs. practically just waved me away. He didn't even ask how much pain I'm in, or prescribed anything to alleviate the symptom. I Love it! Amazing first experience! read more

If you're searching for a doctor who embodies the true essence of an "old school" healer, look no further than Dr. Bhuta. His trusty stethoscope and physical examination are backed by a wealth of knowledge and experience, rendering unnecessary the overreliance on gadgets that often distract from the patient's needs. I had been suffering from uncertain breathing issues that had been misdiagnosed by several doctors before. My friend recommended Dr. Bhuta. His diagnostic approach was meticulous, as he took the time to carefully analyze my medical history and performed a thorough examination. It was refreshing to be treated like a unique individual, not just another case in a queue. He diagnosed that I have early symptoms of asthma, prescribed medication and within a week, my breathing issues went away. Dr. Bhuta emphasizes preventive care and lifestyle changes. Due to Dr. Bhuta constantly reminding me to be healthy at every visit, I have lost 20Ibs and feel good about myself. I have been seeing Dr. Bhuta for a while now. His staff is very accommodating and polite. Even though they are very busy when you are in the office, they don't waste time and make sure to do an entire full check-up before seeing Dr. Bhuta. Parking is never an issue. Depending on the time of the day, you can always find free parking on Watseka Ave or Delmas Terrace. read more

Dr. Bhuta is a very caring, wonderful, excellent Doctor, his staff is amiable and kind. I was always able to make an appointment whenever I needed to see him! Even on the same day, I called I was able to come in on that same day. He cares about his patients and his staff. I would recommend him as my Personal care Doctor! read more

AWFUL. Literally the worst doctor I have ever dealt with in 50 years and I've never had problems with my doctor before. Insurance assigned him to me and I wish it hadn't. The incompetence in this office is only exceeded by the total lack of care or responsibility. This goes beyond their appointments always being super late - if anything, this is a breach of medical ethics. I had scans sent over by another doctor. I confirmed with their office that they received them. When I came to the appointment, they said that they were never received. I reminded them about the conversation which they denied. Then I showed them the email where the scans were sent and they lied again and said that email was just sent today, when it had been weeks before. After HOURS dealing with their uncaring staff about this, they told me now the dr was busy and we would have to reschedule. Today I had another appointment and brought the images on an iPad to make sure that they couldn't screw them up. The dr refused to even look at them, because they had not been printed out (dozens of images from the scan) by his office. He didn't care. He seemed to be mocking me for my efforts to obtain medical care. Obviously we are switching doctors and filing a complaint with insurance. read more

Dr. Bhuta has been my primary care physician since 2015. In that time, he and his office has been through in following up on lab results and making sure I received the correct referrals to specialists. So much so where his follow ups and referrals led me to see specialists in treating a rare form of cancer. I just got through treatment and I feel better! I highly recommend Dr. Bhuta to anyone looking for a physician who stays on top of everything! Because that can save someone's life! read more

No. It is dark, dreary, bare and uninviting. I brought on some of the LIGHT of CHRIST just so I could see clearly. The Doctor is tired and old. He is short with me and indifferent because he's in pain or maybe he just needs a nap. The nurse was nice because I willed him so. He had markers for superiority complex but I remained humble. Lessons happen all the time and I aim to be a good student. The front staff which consisted of a relative (?) was nice but she seemed weary of it all. I was moved in and out fast enough. I was patient and yielding and glowed. This isn't the Doctor for me. Maybe he is for somebody but this won't work for my aesthetics. Yes, it's close by and I can walk but some things are more important than convenience. read more

This doctor and the office staff is the worst I've ever experienced. Starting with, they coded my visit wrong. They misgendered me on forms (she/her) but they marked me as a male. They took my pulse with a finger pulse oximeter reader which is known not to be accurate. I had an appointment for 9am (first appointment for the day) and was not seen till 9:40. I scheduled an annual physical, but they don't do blood draw which is fine, but the office did not let me know in advance that they would have to refer me to a lab for follow up appointment. Then the doctor tried to tell me that one of my medications was addictive and SHAMED me for my lifestyle. I came home and switched pcp's immediately and I filed a complaint with the state medical board for unprofessional conduct. If I could give negative stars, I would. read more

Staff is nice but Bhuta is a really bad person. He treats patients really poorly, yells, hangs up the phone, interrupts, no compassion, and no knowledge. Really, really awful! read more

The doctor has been excellent throughout the years that I've been their patient. However, I must say that the staff, who are often impolite and unprofessional, can be quite frustrating and give you a headache every time you interact with them. As a result, I've decided to change my doctor and will not be returning to this practice. read more

Dr. Bhuta has been my doctor for many many years. Very experienced and knowledgeable. Great staff. Highly recommended.

I was a patient of Dr. Bhuta's for a few years and although he provided minimal to moderate care, I really don't feel like my health was improved or benefitted from being his patient. The doctor himself is a kind, good-natured man, but I do have to say that any issue I had that required a referral, I never received a follow up in care. For example, I had x-rays for my neck/back and never had any follow up with Dr. Bhuta to discuss the findings. Same with blood tests. If anything was abnormal, which thankfully it rarely was, I would never be contacted or sent my blood work. I always had to call to get sent my results. I ended up making a habit of just asking for copies of all of my x-rays and tests to take home with me (that's your right as a patient), so that I knew what was going on. As far as experience in office, the nurse tech wasn't too great. I remember him taking my vitals once and I was explaining my debilitating neck/back pain, and he told me "just take ibuprofen". Sorry dude, I'm not here to mask the symptom, I can do that at home. I came into the doctors office for help in resolving the problem. I didn't appreciate his unsolicited medical advice, I wanted the doctor's opinion. I ended up switching doctors and insurances, and now have been matched with an exceptional doctor, even under Medi-Cal, which seems rare. But it is available and you don't have to accept sub-par care. Now my appointments are very engaging and much more thorough. I usually get multiple referrals in one visit for all of the things I need, including chiropractic care and acupuncture, which has now resolved my neck/back issues. read more

Great doctor and excellent staff. Appointment right on time. Convenient parking and nice office.

I kinda suspect that some the positive reviews this guy has received are from his family, friends and staff. (I would say he might have written a few himself but I don't think he's technically savvy enough to do so.) All of these reviews are either "love him best doctor ever 5 stars Been seeing him for years, so smart, he's the best!" or "WORST EXPERIENCE OF MY LIFE!" Seems kinda fishy how few people are in the middle, and how extreme his fans and critics are... His friends and staff need to either get better at writing fake reviews or actually improve their services. They are so behind the times they don't even realize how fake their good reviews look in comparison with the bad. ANYWAY! This guy LITERALLY took me to a dirty ally behind the clinic to do a breathing test. I had a cold he told me I have asthma after listening to me for mere seconds and put me on multiple daily meds. He is judgmental, rude, short tempered and condescending. Also while I hesitate to include this because I know many people his age who do their jobs well...and I do not want to contribute to ageism... his age does seem to effect the quality of care he is able to provide. Basically he's not growing with the times. He seems unaware of how some of his behavior LIKE TAKING A WOMAN INTO AN ALLY might be perceived as highly unprofessional, and make people feel extremely uncomfortable. One male staff member was not just rude... but confrontational in a bizarre way. I called the wrong number because the info on my card was confusing and he almost made me cry when he ripped me a new one over it. IT WAS AN ACCIDENT AND I HAD A FEVOR OF 102!!! Also he is a total sexist. And condescending to boot. read more

Not a good experience. Doctor and staff are cold with no empathy. Came in solely for a referral to specialist. Never received it and was told it can only come via snail mail. As a new patient I maybe expected too much but didn't even get so much as a hello when I came in. Only reason I came in was this doctor was automatically assigned to me and I couldn't switch doctors until the end of the month. They at least pick up the phones pretty quickly. Very interesting ratio of reviews. read more

Dr. Bhuta has been taking care of my parents for quite a while now and it's been such a pleasure knowing he goes above and beyond for his patients. From scans to check ups to just asking about their day, he treats his patients like family more than just "another patient." I usually dont write reviews at all, but Bhuta really impressed me with his knowledge and experience in the medical field that makes me more than comfortable to know he will always look out for my parents medical needs. read more

Big shout to the #DreamTeam of Himanshu and M for a well managed appointment!! Thank you for getting me in at the last minute and out with a full check up under an hour. You guys ROCK!! read more

See all

Stay far away from this place the staff is very unprofessional never get my calls returned always seem to run into some type of problem whether it be medication or requesting referrals to see a specialist the staff can't seem to get things done right the 1st time.You can clearly tell that this isn't a good doctors office just by searching google or Yelp and seeing what many others have encountered here.The only reason I chose this place was because it is very close to where I live and living in LA with the traffic that makes it convenient. I highly recommend choosing another doctor's office that is a bit more professional than this place read more

I've read some very negative reviews of Dr. Bhuta's office, his help, the decor, the lighting. Really.... what does any of that have to do with having a qualified doc give a qualified diagnosis? Nada. My 10 year experience with Dr. Bhuta is what I want from a doctor; go in, wait, fill out some paperwork, see the doc, have him tell me what's up and address the advice. His diagnoses (yes, I've had a few) have been spot on. One had to do with headaches and instead of putting me through tests, etc..., he knew right away what the issue was. He addressed and I've been headache free for 9 years. Good stuff. That said, the couch is very comfy. If you want a friend, then this doctor most likely won't suit you, if you want a doctor who tells it like it is, then Dr. Bhuta is fantastic. read more

I previously wrote a lengthy review and this HORRIBLE excuse for a doctor's office reported my review to get it taken down because it couldn't handle the truth. It is so clear from the countless other reviews that this place needs to be reported and shut down by the US Department of Health. The staff is also terribly rude and will harass you until you make a payment that you didn't even know existed! The receptionist will also call you names and hang up on you if she finds you "rude" (I was simply asking her a question and she gave me attitude and hung up on me mid-sentence). This place is a disgrace so do yourself a favor and find any other doctor in the world. read more

Dr. Bhuta had been our PCP for 3 years now and all I can say is, hands down the best doctor I've chosen to care for my family and I. My son needed a physical for basketball and dr Bhuta diagnosed my son with a heart murmur, so further testing needed to be done. I took my son to a pediatric cardiologist at UCLA for a 2D echo and the dr at UCLA was amazed that my son's heart murmur was even detected. The cardiologist said that the murmur was so minute that only a very well trained ears could even hear this. Our pediatric cardiologist stated, "You must have a very good doctor to even detect this murmur." My son is doing very well and continued to play basketball and running tracks. The peace of mind that my family received because of Dr. Bhuta's precision and exceptional care is just priceless! I'm forever grateful for Dr. Bhuta and his staff for always being courteous, accommodating and friendly. read more

I've been a patient here for over two years, and have had only the best experiences. All of my appointments have been on time or within 10-15 minutes of my scheduled time, and that's better than any other Dr I've ever had. Having come here referred from USC/LAC hospital after being discharged from the Cardiac Clinic, this is exactly what I need. That place was far away from where I live, but I had wait times from a half hour to an hour or more. Every visit. I feel the entire staff cares, communicates clearly, and makes sure that I understand what my treatment is, why I'm taking each and every medication, and when. How could anyone knock this place? It's tiny alright, but clean, and efficient. I know I have low-income horrid health insurance, but I feel I get amazing care from here. read more

Sorry, I have to trash this place--and it's not over one experience; it's over multiple. I first went in for an annual physical, but also had some serious stomach issues, so I wanted to talk about them. The doc gave me a disinterested three minutes, just said he'd refer me to a specialist. About the physical...just get a blood test. No other office exam--and prostate exams were "a bit controversial" these days, a comment that the blood lab thought was crazy when I told them. I had to call back for my referral at least a half dozen times, one delay after another, email server screwed up, delay with the medical group, etc. Don't care, I'm in pain! Then I finally get the referral and that office is booked out two months...uh, no. I get the stomach checkup and there's really nothing wrong, so I have to ride it out, but I read about acupuncture possibly being helpful, so I call for another referral for that. Still waiting on that one three weeks later--and the medical group covering this doc never answers their phones. Then today I went to another office for an eye exam and it turns out my vision insurance doesn't cover an eye exam (!), only a checkup for new glasses. I need to go back to my plan doctor for--yes--another referral. Bhuta's office is down the street, so I decide to stop in and make the request in person. Bhuta is the only one in the front office, and he leaves a moment later without acknowledging me. The remaining office staff is AWOL. Busy day...perhaps, but I'm done. And this place doesn't even look like a doctor's office. More like a rundown shop converted into something resembling a place treating patients. There is a business side to health care, and this place needs a few remedial classes. Sorry. read more

Reshmee Dr Bhuta is an amazing Dr He has helped my husband and I through a lot of health challenges. His team Visva and Hismashu are great very friendly and super helpful. I would recommend anyone to go see Dr Bhuta or any of your health issues. I've being to hundreds of Drs and his the best. read more

Worst Dr. I've ever had. He's really to old to be working. The Dream team is a joke ... I would believe they paid for those reviews or had family and friends post positve things. The office is old and kind of ghetto ... I felt dirty every time I went for an appointment. I hung in there for 2 years and needed to have several referals I requested from him fulfilled. I asked for them to mail me docs from the heart guy I saw and never recieved them. A sad office to say the least. Very poor work ethic. read more

He's a very nice and caring doctor. He listens attentively to what his patient's complaints and needs. His staff are also helpful.

I have been going to Dr. Mahesh for several years now and he is my primary doctor. He has been nothing short of amazing, responsive and caring, the entire staff are extremely professional and have always taken care of what I needed. Highly recommend him. read more

Dr. Bhuta was assigned as my primary doctor. I had my first appointment with him recently and all I can say, this doctor is amazing. He was very kind and professional. I was a little nervous because I don't like to to go to doctors and I never felt the need to, because I've always felt good. But at this point, I'm getting more aware of the importance of checking my body health. However, Dr. Bhuta's kindness and his peaceful energy made calm down. Also, his team, specially his assistant was a very friendly guy who answered several questions I had and helped me to get a specialist appointment near my area. I'm very happy with my experience at Dr. Bhuta's office and I definitely recommend him. read more

Dr. Bhuta is really amazing doctor.He listens to the patients very calmly and then responds.The entire team works as a family and is really appreciable. read more

The walls between exam rooms are very thin so I heard everything about the guy next door's STD situation loud and clear and I'm sure the several patients seated in the hallway outside my exam room could hear everything about my embarrassing health issues as well. The office itself is a bit run-down and small with not enough seating and the doctor was clearly rushed. My yearly physical must've lasted 5 minutes. I'm generally a healthy person, so I doubt I'll take the time to find a different primary since I don't plan to visit often, but I definitely can't recommend this place. read more

Bhuta Mahesh MD - The office - Internal Medicine Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Met Dr.Bhuta last week for issues regarding my colon and back. He was straight to the point, and got me referrals approved by insurance in a matter of a week. I have found my new primary doctor! read more

I see why people are divided. The office can be condescending and cold. But I have found that they get things done, generally, and if there aren't too many patients, they can be sweet. The doctor is in a hurry, which is pretty standard for western medicine, but I found him calming and patient, and I thought he really listened. He didn't have any particularly insightful advice, but he authorized prescriptions and referrals I needed. I witnessed the doctor himself going in to take blood from a patient, so I know they can do that, but I (like other Yelp reviewers) was sent to Quest for that. One reviewer says you have to go downtown for your labs, but they have LOTS of Quest offices; any of them will work. Free parking in marked spaces in the church lot next door is a nice plus. The place feels a little worn down and I know they are drowning in Covered California referrals, so it's a rough time. I was in and out in about an hour and a half, though my time with the doctor was only about twelve minutes. Again, that doesn't seem unusual. Three and a half stars, so far. read more

Dr. Bhuta was nice but the front desk was disorganized and unprofessional. Referred me out for a prescription but the doctor I was referred to did not write prescriptions. Gave me the incorrect number & got my DOB wrong on three separate occasions. Everything about setting up the appointment & getting a referral was time consuming. Do not recommend. read more

My husband and I both recently became patients of Dr. Bhuta. He is a good, thorough and caring doctor. All requested referrals and suggested referrals/prescriptions were given promptly. Though the office appears to be very busy, productivity is high. I have found staff to be polite, professional, intelligent, quite knowledgable and efficient. Wait time is average for a busy office and phone calls are always answered promptly. I highly recommend Dr. Bhuta, as I consider him to be the best doctor I have had in many, many years. I am astounded by the reviews mentioning a "rude" or "condescending" staff. My experience was the exact opposite. read more

Dr Bhuta has been my PCP for years. He has diagnosed me correctly each time and gets me to the specialists that I need to get to. Dr Bhuta has experience and is a valued part of my medical team. He's hardly ever late and is accommodating. Thanks Dr Bhuta! read more

He's my new Dr. After having had a Beverly Hills 2nd-generation Cedars Sinai pro for 30 years. That's what affordable insurance will do for you. I like Dr. Bhuta. I think he's responsible and conscientious. And the staff is fine, quite frankly. They're nice people. And everyone there seems capable and willing to do a competent job. The office is nice and clean (freshly painted it looks like to me). The only problem I saw was a little bit of over-booking. These people work hard, and from what I can tell, get cranky when there's too much stress. Well la de da, welcome to the human race. They may not always be treated well by their customers, either. They're East Indian, and Hindu, and in today's right-wing saturated peak-of-ignorance Amerika, they're probably confused by people as being evil muslims. They're not. They're nice, well-educated Hindis who want to make it through the day in good shape, just like the rest of us. read more

Sept. 15, 2017 update - The nurses specially Jamesh is a lazy guy. This person needs to keep up with his work before clients go to other doctors!! Very straight forward and experienced doctor.
