Dr. Bhandarkar is an incredible doctor! He is extremely knowledgeable and takes the time to truly listen to my concerns. He thoroughly educated me about my sinus issues and explained the treatment options in a clear and patient manner. I feel so much more confident and informed thanks to his care. Highly recommend him!
