Shaminder S. Bhullar, M.D.

Dr. Bhullar did eye surgery on my left eye. In layman's terms, he did 3 things - 1) cleaned up the yellowing lens that replace cataract, 2) remove some vitreous fluid with floaters, and 3) cleaned up retina where some vitreous membrane remained after having vitreous membrane detachment. This eye went from 20/50 to 20/20. Amazing to me!!!

Today I went to Dr. Bhullar's office as a new patient, and I was very grateful for their protocols to protect patients. Every staff member was very competent, told me exactly what they were doing and informed me of next steps. Dr. Bhullar was detailed in reviewing the issues with my eyes and answered all of my questions. I've never had eye issues so this whole experience was foreign to me. I walked away feeling like I had gotten the best of care. I appreciate them monitoring my progress on a frequent basis and walking away with a packet of information so I don't have to do Internet research and wondering if I'm using the best source. I love the option of having an appointment in Sarasota just five minutes from my home, or driving to Bradenton for greater flexibility in scheduling. It isn't easy trusting someone with eye care, but I have no doubt Dr. Bhullar will be there for me in the years ahead.

I was treated by Dr. Bhullar for a torn retina in early April, 2018, and could not be more pleased with his expertise and the level of service received by him and all staff at his office. A thorough exam was completed, and then my condition was clearly and concisely explained to me, with ample time for questions. Cryopexy was performed same day in his offices, and I have been recuperating with minimal discomfort. Dr. Bhullar is incredibly knowledgeable and articulate. He instills confidence with his expertise, while being equally caring and compassionate to patients. Five stars to this excellent physician.

Dr. Bhullar and his staff saw me at a moment's notice once referred by my optometrist after she diagnosed me with a retina problem. I never had any eye issues in my 60 years so I was quite frightened when the Dr. told me that I had a torn retina and would need surgery right then. He was great, gentle and caring and so were his staff. They made me feel at ease as I could and I was very happy with my treatment.

We have been so impressed with Dr. Bhullar. He was able to see us on short notice when My husband had an emergency involving his right eye.
Dr. Bhullar diagnosed it immediately, did a thorough examination , obtained the requisite details concerning my husband's health in general which enabled Dr. Bhullar to make a correct diagnosis and course of treatment. He personally called and spoke with the referring optometrist and forwarded his notes and concerns to both Joe's cardiologist and his Primary Care Physician.
The staff was friendly and welcoming, and extremely competent. We felt very comfortable with the tests and procedures that were conducted. We were able to make appropriate follow-up appointments that were accomodating to both Dr.'s schedule and ours.
We highly recommend everyone to contact Dr. Bhullar and his office should you need an Ophthalmologist / Retina Specialist. You will be more than pleased with the care you receive.
