He trained for an extra year in electrophysiology after completing a fellowship in cardiology.

According to Dr. Bhandari, “PIH Health Good Samaritan Hospital has a long history of innovation in cardiac care. They’re a leader in procedures such as radiofrequency ablation and other minimally invasive treatments that reduce the need for medication or surgery. Their continual investment in state-of-the-art technology and resources keeps us at the forefront of care.”

Patient Reviews

January 29, 2026
Beautiful and welcoming environment. Every staff member--the receptionist, the nurse, and the physician assistant--was professional, courteous, knowledgeable, and patient. Dr. Bhandari is an exceptional doctor. He treated me ten years ago. He clearly had read and looked at the test results before he saw me. He is thorough and clear in his explanations. He welcomes questions. He is patient and pleasant. One cannot help but trust completely in his judgement and recommendation. He made me feel at peace with my disease. Thank you.

waiting time is brief (most of the time) frontline staff and all personnel friendly and supportive and of course Dr. B is a good listener and presents options

Dr. Bhandari is an excellent physician and I am glad I have had his care and advice -- especially now during my senior years. The staff at LA Cardiology are also very good and everything in the office seems to run in an efficient manner.

The first thing is my answer to question 3 and 24. I didn't listen to the entire recording, so that should be the high score and then positive. And the second, I'd like to mention that Dr. Anil Bahndari is an excellent physician who I really trust. He's very thorough. He explains things very thoroughly and he's a very caring individual. So I am completely and 100% pleased with Dr. Bhandari. Thank you.

I would just like to suggest you stop reminding us so many times. We must have gotten five or ten messages, email, voicemail, phone, home phone, reminding us we had an appointment and asking for us to fill out forms which have been filled out and haven't changed in some time. So it would be nice if you could narrow things down and pick one time to call and one reminder. Thanks.

Dr. Bhandari has been more Cardiologist for more than a decade. He's wonderful. Over the years, I have had atrial tachycardia, which became AFib with Sick Sinus Node a year ago and required urgent Pulsed Field Ablation in February. The surgery was very successful, and I am now stable and back to my life. I will continue to see Dr. Bhandari every year. He is a very kind doctor who truly cares. I'm very grateful to have him by my side.

It's always a very pleasant and relaxed experience to come to the office of Dr. Bhandari. Dr. Bhandari is a terrific, compassionate cardiologist and his staff is excellent. And goodbye now. Thank you for contacting me, (PHI removed).

I've been going to this office for many years. The doctor I had been seeing retired, Dr. Bhandari, I've been seeing him for several years now and I could not be more pleased. He's an absolutely outstanding doctor and I just want him to get the highest evaluations possible. I feel badly that he didn't do this because he's so outstanding. And the way the office is run is very efficient and everybody in there is always very nice and courteous and I couldn't be more pleased with it. So I hope that you take this all down and that they all get notes of compliments from you.
September 18, 2025
Very professional. Very detailed and plain English explanation of my situation.

From the time I walked in the door, every staff member I interacted with was great, Caring, and professional.
July 11, 2025
Oh, yes. Doctor was so, so fantastic. He saved my life. A couple of years ago, he said I would need to have the pacemaker and defibrillator put in and without it, I wouldn't be here today. He was totally right on and it went off five times on me on the 16th. of June. And I'm still here. So I strongly recommend him and appreciate everything he did. Thank you.
July 10, 2025
Dr. Anil Bhandari and staff is the very best Physician as well as the staff we have been to. We will highly recommend Dr. Bhandari to friends and family members . He is a EXCELLENT doctor!!
June 20, 2025
I am incredibly impressed with the care that I received to hand to Dr. Bhandari. He was thoughtful and considerate and honest. He was aware of and able to assimilate new information related to my situation. I was there for a follow-up appointment that I made so that I could get more information on an upcoming procedure. He gave no indication that this non-diagnostic or follow-up visit was a waste of his time. He explained things in a way that made sense to me. He answered all of my questions carefully and fully and gave me the distinct impression that he understood and accepted my challenges and issues with an open heart and I deeply appreciate the care that I have received thus far. I will be putting my life in his hands during a surgery and I am incredibly

I went to see this provider after having seen a different cardiologist a year ago. I was super impressed. The wait time was non-existent almost. Everyone on the staff was extremely friendly and helpful and the doctor himself was very nice and seemed to really listen.
June 19, 2025
Everyone I met there was friendly unhelpful
June 02, 2025
Dr. Bhandari has been my cardiologist for about 10 years. He is always very caring and interested in what's happening with me. I hope he never retires!!
May 20, 2025

Outstanding nurse practitioner and physician
May 01, 2025
tHE DOCTOR prescribed me some medications that I think are not suitable. They are for diabetes, and I don't have diabetes. The pharmacy gave them to me, but I don't know why.
May 01, 2025
As a patient for many years I'd say the office and doctor are outstanding.
April 29, 2025
I honestly couldn't say how you could improve because I was very happy with Dr. Bandari and now I have another heart doctor along with Dr. (name removed) and I always give Good Sam excellent ratings among all my friends, family, and witnesses of Jehovah and we really appreciate you guys. You guys have a good standing with us. Thank you. Bye-bye.
April 24, 2025
Dr Bhandari is the best. To say the least he changed my life forever. Since my cardiac ablation almost 10 years ago I have received excellent follow up care. Dr and his staff are great. Dr Bhandari always I mean ALWAYS spends a good amount of time with me, answers all my questions and makes sure I'm well informed. I will be forever grateful to him and his team. Dr Bhandari takes pride in his work and shows he cares and makes me feel special
April 21, 2025
Dr. Bhandari is the best cardiologist with the best personalized care that I've encountered with other providers. Thank you.
April 17, 2025
I am not quite sure that I understood the first few questions correctly. I did have a wonderful meeting with the doctor that you have given me the name. And most definitely I was very happy to be his patient and I do so continue to see him again. Thank you very much and I do hope that everything that I have given you, the numbers, is the correct one because I am afraid that the first two or three questions were not completely correct answer by me. Thank you very much. Is there anything else I could say?
April 15, 2025
Dr. Bhandari was great. Takes time to listen to what I have to say and explains things well. His staff is very courteous and caring. Overall good experience
April 14, 2025
My experience with Dr. Bhandari is always a comfort and joy. He is very experience and a straight shooter with very calming presence and humor to make it that joy. I always look forward to my visits with him and have all the confidence with my heart health.
April 10, 2025
Dr. Bhandari is absolutely fantastic. He's a wonderful doctor, a wonderful cardiologist, pays attention, and I would not want to use anyone else.
April 08, 2025
I came in with a problem and after a while we saw a doctor, but he didn't do very much. He came in, said hello but he didn't accomplish very much at all. That's it.
April 04, 2025
I think that people conducting this survey should start their answers with one yes, two maybe, no, three. Because it's more important to have a positive response and that'd be the first one that you give. That's all I have to say. Goodbye.
April 03, 2025
Dr. Bhandari and his staff have done a tremendous job for me for the last over 20 years, and I really appreciate his professionalism, his abilities as a doctor, as an electrocardiologist, and I can't say enough good about him. Thank you.
April 03, 2025
PIH is fortunate to have a Physician of this caliber and experience represent them!
March 27, 2025
Downtown Los Angeles is not the most hospitable area to visit... freeway traffic, parking expense, etc. However, my long-time association with Dr. Bhandari supersedes these concerns.

I've been a patient for over 22 years and I couldn't be happier with Dr Bhandari. His staff is very courteous, kind capable and I have followed him all the way from Rancho Cucamonga. I live in South Ontario, so it is quite a trek now, but I am very pleased with him as a doctor
March 21, 2025
Everything was great about seeing the doctor, but the thing you just did was too long. Bye.
