Pragaspathy Bhava, MD

Dr. Bhava is AMAZING! Although she was not the primary physician at the practice, she was my preferred doctor. Dr. Bhava was my son’s pediatrician from the time he was born up until his 18 month old visit. Imagine my trepidation when I went to the office recently only to learn that Dr. Bhava was no longer with the practice. She was always so kind, loving, and gentle with my son… and extremely knowledgeable. Contrary to the previous review, Dr. Bhava was utterly supportive of my decision to exclusively breastfeed. At my son’s one-​week visit she helped me learn how to nurse correctly so it did not hurt. By his 18 month visit she gave me the perfect tip (neem oil) to stop nursing since I was having trouble weaning my son on my own. Overall, I am so sad that she has moved to a practice so far from us and I only hope to find a pediatrician as wonderful as her. The only reason I gave ⁴⁄₅ stars is because I am now stuck with the daunting task of finding an equally amazing pediatrician for my son.

I brought my newborn to this doctor and was very disappointed by her practice. As an educated parent and a health professional myself, I found her to be way behind in current medical knowledge. She pushed formula even though I told her I was planning on exclusively breastfeeding. She also tried to send me to see specialists for problems my baby did not have (confirmed by other pediatricians) and was generally very alarmist. Save yourself a headache and keep your child healthy, do not see this doctor.
