Satinder J S Bhatia, MD, FACC, FCCP

I have seen Dr. Bhatia since 1991 and he has been the center of my medical care since then. I have several major health issues and he handles all of them with the grace, ingelligence and practicality espoused by all of the reviews here. It is true he has your medical record memorized. It is doubly true that he will see you at odd hours if it appears you need it. I now live in Chicago, and I view it as no more than a 6 hour trip (4 in the air) to see him, which is no more than if I lived in CA and drove there. He truly is that poster child that one reviewer characterized him as. He is incredible and amazing.

Dr. Bhatia is the best doctor I have ever met! Not only is he a great diagnostician, he is warm friendly and cares about his patients. I routinely use CS Link and Dr. Bhatia & staff are extremely responsive. Don’t look any further when choosing a doctor — you will be glad you choose Dr. Bhatia.

Dr. Bhatia is the poster child for what everyone wants in their doctor, he is excellent in all areas, a great communicator and incredibly knowledgeable, and calm. He is extremely caring, and explains things so you can understand. Just a complete pleasure to have such faith and confidence in him as a cardiologist and for everything else. In addition, his staff is excellent, also caring and informative.

Dr. Bhatia has served as my cardiologist for many years. He is both intelligent and skilled, but most of all he pays close attention. He listens well and guides me with an understanding of the context of my life. Very personalized care and the compassion that goes with it. I highly recommend him.

To find medical practitioners, I go the nth degree: checking out Healthgrades, Vitals, etc. to see where the MD has gone to Medical School, where they did their internships, fellowships, how the schools /​institutions ranked (see US News), and what kind of online customer reviews they have. This is how I found Dr. Bhatia.
Dr. Bhatia and his whole team are freak’n amazing! Dr. Bhatia is knowledgeable, sensitive to any issues (even for overly detailed folks like me), kind, responsive, and gets things done immediately. His group has several floors in a Beverly Hills building (don’t worry, there any several parking lots where first 2 hrs are free), where they do their own Ultrasounds, MRIs, CAT scans, blood draws, research, etc. They have the latest technology (they showed us my husband’s 3D heart imaging results, the same time they showed it to a class of MDs for training purposes, with our approval of course). And their responses are virtually immediate. Two nights ago, my husband and I left email messages via the Cedars Sinai «My CS Link» asking some questions. Dr. Bhatia responded at 12:30AM (yes, AM) the following morning, telling me that the prescription I asked for has now been sent in and he gave the information my husband asked for.
Many of my medical practitioners are associated with Cedars Sinai, and I was made aware of Cedar’s recently implemented usage of «My CS Link» as a form of patient communication. Of my many doctors, no one has used the CS Link was such effectiveness and efficiency; the other doctors were aware of it, but didn’t really use it. While you are still sitting in Dr. Bhatia’s office, he would have sent on your prescriptions to your pharmacist; and all that has transpired will now be available for your review on CS Link when you get home. You are able to quickly see any mistakes, so you can ask them to correct your records (they were small historical details only). They even put in all my prior test results from other physicians as part of their records.
Though my husband badly needed a new cardiologist, I was also looking for a good primary physician for myself. Finding one that both my husband and I agree on is challenging, as I like to default to a naturopathic approach while my husband likes to default to traditional medicine.
Dr. Bhatia is the ONLY MD that acknowledged and was interested in seeing the results of my annual thermographies (without going into specifics, traditional approach isn’t practical for me.)
Dr. Bhatia is so good that not only is he now my husband’s cardiologist, but he is now our «go to» doc and is acting as the primary physician for both of us.
Frankly, I’ve been reluctant to write a review for Dr. Bhatia, for purely selfish motives. The lead times for apmts are getting longer and longer. That being said, recently, when we thought my husband had a critical issue, Raquel, Dr. Bhatia’s apmt representative, made an apmt for the very next morning.

Extremely thorough. Very patient and caring. New favorite doctor. Wonderful staff as well.

Dr. Bhatia is a wonderful doctor. He is kind, he listens, and he is very knowledgeable. He and his office staff provide excellent care. They really go the extra mile.

Dr Bhatia is some body I trust as an MD his medical knowledge care and genuine concern for his patients
Best of all ever time I visit his office my BP is ¹²⁰⁄₈₀ that is the satisfaction I have

Dr. Bhatia is a treasure for my wife and I. We have seen him for many years. His skills currently keep me alive! But the best part is the wonderful feeling we always have when he enters the room: Somehow he makes us feel positive and upbeat — realistically — and that is a big deal. We’ve been through some rough times together and it’s wonderful to know he’s there for us!

I am so grateful my wife needed to see Dr. Bhatia for some heart issues. He has become a precious family asset. He is both professional and personable. Every one of the dr’s and specialists he recommends we see also say incredible things about his abilities.
The most common thing said by other dr’s is; «If I called Satinder right now and told him you were in my office he would know all of your stats by memory.» In this day and age that is an incredible feat that makes me feel valued and cared for. Also he is incredibly accessible through my chart. So comforting to feel like there is actually a relationship. So grateful.

Hands down the best cardiologist! He is amazing! He is ahead of the rest of the doctors with his knowledge on new therapies, and use of alternative medicine and supplements, along with traditional western medicine. He’s an amazing listener and so easy to communicate with through his online app. I’m so very happy I found him. He is such a unique treasure… it’s so hard to find a great doctor these days.

WITHOUT A DOUBT THERE IS NO GREATER DOCTOR … He saved my grandfather’s life and after that he has become the GP and or cardiologist for every member of my family and my husbands family. He is carrying, knowledgeable, and most importantly he has the best bedside manner of any doctor I have ever seen! I have never met a doctor who opens his practice at 7 am to squeeze in patients and who sees patients on his lunch break. Truly an amazing doctor and wonderful person!

I have been seeing Dr. Bhatia for approximately 25 years. Yes, I actually look forward to seeing my Cardiologist. Personable but professional. Looks at the overall health of the individual, listens, asks very astute questions, and he’s a straight shooter about whatever is going on with my Health. In matters of the Heart… I have sent my Husband, my Son and several Friends to Dr. Bhatia. This is where you will get the straight story.

Dr. Bhatia has been my PCP for about 4 years now. He is an outstanding physician. He listens well and because he is so bright, you get a quick analysis and recommendations that are state of the art. He has guided me through my allergic difficulties with adverse reactions to different meds over these years with particular skill. He’s always on top of medical advances and he does not have the common bias against supplements.
In my opinion, he’s as good as you can get!

Dr. Satinder Bhatia is by far one of the best, most knowledgable, most professional and kind Doctors I have ever met and had the pleasure of working with — he has a big heart and a very sharp intellect — I highly recommend Dr. Bhatia

Oh wow. THE nicest, friendliest doctor + staff. Better still, Dr. Bhatia doubles as a cardiologist and a GP, plus he takes a sensible, patient-​centric, holistic approach. The office records are 100% electronic, and the patient interface is mobile-​friendly. Finally, a step into modern medicine … with all the old school benefits.

Dr. Bhatia is one of the most thorough and knowledgeable physicians I’ve been to. Both mom and dad see him and recommended I go to him for a check up. He listened carefully and never made me feel rushed during my visit. After my appointment, not only was I able to reach him through their Web portal system to ask a few more questions, but my labs were all available to me the same afternoon. His staff are all very prfessional as well! I highly recommend Dr. Bhatia and am glad that I have a physician I can count on and trust!

Dr. Bhatia gave me one of the most thorough physicals I have ever had. He left no stone unturned! He took every test that needed to be taken, explained the results in a way that I understood, and was not judgmental at all. He wants me to be healthy, and is putting me on the right track. He is kind and caring, and his staff follows up to make sure you come back when you need to. The office is efficient and polite. It was even easy to have blood take. I would highly recommend Dr. Bhatia. You won’t feel rushed, and he’ll take good care of you!

Caring, thorough, and very intelligent cardiologist.
