“Dr. Bandhakavi takes time to thoroughly explain things with his patients. Unlike other doctors and specialists I’ve seen over the years, he does not rush you out the door; he takes as much time as is needed to explain the situation, go over options and help to figure out the root cause of the health situation so you can make informed decisions on your healthcare.” – Healthgrades Review
