We took our daughter here for an assessment of a rash. Although Dr. Bhakoo is not a dermatologist, we thought he would be able to give us some guidance. He never diagnosed her correctly and tried 5 different creams and oral antibiotics (mind you the rash began as 2 small dots.... and the dermatologist informed us it is just mild eczema). Each time something did not work, he said, "this is just what we try next." Every time my husband brought her in to the office she caught some kind of bug from colds to stomach bugs from the office and waiting area. Not only was Dr. Bhakoo incompetent in his medical assessment, lacking in his practice cleanliness, but he also displayed poor bedside manners and a total disrespect for my husband as a parent. Dr. Bhakoo, as well as his staff at the front desk treated my husband poorly, unfairly, and did not answer questions in the same manner they answered them for me when I finally had to start calling in on my work hours because of the lack of assistance my husband was receiving over the phone. Synopsis - dont go here if you expect your child to get treated for anything that requires the doctor to think through the situation and dont rely on the staff to not treat a caring father like some kind of a deadbeat baby-daddy.

Dr Bhakoo is very welcoming and friendly, and his staff is awesome. I had something come up and couldnt get to our appt on time, and the staff was very accommodating. Even after that, he did not rush through our appointment, but took the time to talk w/me and my children. He also made it a point to let me know that they offered same day appointments and that he would personally see them for the same day appointment. I also found him to be open to our "alternative" approach to vaccines. And they had separate exam rooms for sick and well children. And no toys in the waiting room (cuts down on germs being passed around). I would highly recommend his practice to anyone looking for a great pediatrician in Apache Junction area.

Dr. Bhakoo has been my daughters doctor for over 5 years. He is wonderful as is his staff. He is a great doctor. Sadly, he has not renewed his contract with our insurance which has forced me to find a new doctor for her, this is the only reason I didnt give 5 stars. My daughter and I are devasted over him not renewing the contract. I am sure my daughter isnt the only patient he is losing so I dont know why he would do this.

Dr.Bhakoo is really friendly and gentle. He is busy/quick so make sure you go in with questions and bring them up. He doesnt make you feel rediculous over asking anything which is refreshing with doctors. I like him alot and my daughter seems very pleased with him. Shes been seeing him almost 2 yrs now.

My kids love their "Dr koo" . Dr Bhakoo is very personable & professional at the same time. He is very knowledgeable & helped my son feeling better within a day! I am glad I switched to Dr Bhakoo.

I went through MANY doctors before fingding him. He is amazing. I am moving to another state and am terrified to have to try to find someone anywhere near what he is.

As a physician I am very skeptical about taking my kids to other doctors. Dr Bhakoo was thorough in his approach & very personable.
