Ive only met her once and it was first initial appt. I had asked for a vaginal ultrasound & a pap smear when i first booked with her on zocdoc. The wait time was great (now i know why), front desk was amazingly nice,but while I was waiting in my room..I felt like I overheard her say no we cant do the ultrasound.I wasnt sure what I had heard though, after she came in to meet me. Dr Bhasin had talked to me but I felt like she was rushing my appt. basically ignoring what I had been feeling and asking me the same questions that were already answered on my file.
I felt like she wasnt really listening to what and how I was feeling rather than just listening to me halfway then cutting me off the whole time. She also did this the 2 times she actually called herself. i felt as if she just putting her opinions over what I was actually feeling physically. it was basically going in one ear and out the other.
She performed the pap smear & a HPV testing (I didnt get why she wanted to-but i didnt mind.) She made me feel guilty & scolded me for going to a previous gyno aka Dr Mirashemi b/c he was originally a cancer doctor "supposively" according to her & she wanted their ultrasounds they did on me from him since it was "the most recent." mind you, that was back in december 2015. things can change in two months. I told her I know i have ovarian cysts on both ovaries and endometriosis. (just from the past 6 yrs and two surgeries prior meeting her with dr john lim & another gyno who has retired.)
I had no idea why we couldnt do one in her office. So she said she would call me when she got my pap smear, ultrasound pics frm Mirashemi, & hpv test results. so i can have a ease of mind because i told her thats what i wanted from the previous doctor since he never called me after they did my ultrasound.
its been 2 wks & i still didnt get a call from dr. bhasin. ive been to alot of doctors from A to Z, usually when a patient calls themselves...the doctor personally calls you back. its my health & if youre a doctor you should know ovarians cysts can burst any moment. This week i didnt feel so well before & after my period. so i called the office 3x this wk & for some reason they couldnt get the ultrasound pics frm the previous doctor b/c of some fax machine issue. so if i didnt call, i wouldnt know anything basically.
things a patient shouldnt have to do/feel: 1)to call 3x two weeks later as a patient to find out my results when i was told by dr bhasin personally she would call. Good or bad results whichever the result is-every patient should be heard and notified! 2)front desk receiptionists/nurses were very courteous. i felt as if they cared more than dr bhasin herself. i did the follow up calls not them. 3) if dr bhasin had been notified that i had called 3x you would think to do a personal ph call like a doctor should do to give you that peace of mind she promised. i had to call/ask front desk to make her call me. the actual two times Dr. Bhasin had called herself. She seemed annoyed, again rushing the phone call, she again scolded me for seeing Dr. Mirashemi (which i had her told this as well, that "it doesnt matter who i saw and what you think of them. the fact is that i feel sick and i know something is wrong with me.") , she purely just has no bedside manners at all and thats what you need when you are scared and you know something is wrong with your body and i was being dismissed as nothing was going on.
the 2nd time when she called back herself (which i was very surprised) but that was probably because the 4th time i had called and had told betty whom i talked to the most (receptionist/nurse)..to have dr bhasin get back to me when betty had set up ultrasound herself for me at torrance memorial after i had express to betty that i felt like i was being neglected to be honest and doing all the work. betty was sympathic everytime i called and i felt better talking to her than the doctor herself. anywho, dr bhasin called back with my results from the vaginal ultraound and plainly just said "you JUST have polycystic ovarian cysts. theyre small and thats all you have." wow, really? i told her i still feel horrible, light headed, nauseous, lots of pain on my right side/ovary/hip. she dismissed it and was like well we can do a CT scan and was very unsure. I felt like she just wanted to end the convo and move on with her day. I just told her thank you and called my old gyno back Dr. John Lim for a 2nd opinion; he looked at the same ultrasound she had looked at & said he wanted to see me due details of the size of cysts on both ovaries and wanted to investigate the pain. & maybe possible endometriosis.
i shouldve listen to the negative reviews ive seen online not just on yelp but other sites. she purely has no bedside manners, i have no idea why this doctor feels the need to rush all the damn time, & most importantly dismissing me/not giving me the ease of mind & not wanting to keep trying to see what else is wrong.beware. read more
