I recently had the opportunity to consult "Dr. Bushra Bahjat" at "The Bangalore Hospital" for my mother, who was experiencing sudden pain in the stomach and lower back region. From the very first interaction, Dr. Bushra displayed an exceptional level of empathy, making sure to understand every aspect of my mother’s condition, including her symptoms, lifestyle, and medical history. She took the time to listen patiently and asked insightful questions to ensure nothing was overlooked.
Her approach to diagnosis was thorough and methodical. Instead of jumping to conclusions, she recommended all the relevant tests - blood tests, urine tests, and a CT scan - to rule out any major risk factors. This gave us confidence that the treatment would be based on concrete findings rather than just assumptions.
Even though the test reports were sent to her late at night, she promptly reviewed them and responded immediately. Such dedication and commitment to patient care are truly commendable. We are confident that the prescribed medications, along with lifestyle change recommendations will address the root cause rather than just the symptoms.
"The Bangalore Hospital" itself offered a good experience in terms of service and medical support. The pathology & the radiology departments were efficient, and the staff ensured the CT scan and other tests were conducted smoothly without unnecessary delays.
Overall, I highly appreciate "Dr. Bushra Bahjat’s" expertise, compassionate approach, and patient-first attitude. I would strongly recommend her to anyone looking for a doctor who genuinely cares about their patients and ensures the best possible treatment.

This is what I wrote:
Dr. Bushra Bahjat's clinical acumen is indeed commendable. Almost sleuth like.\nCouple of years ago, I had taken my father to see her. My father was suffering from a painful condition on his finger digits - his end of the digits were discoloured (like blackened); the skin was ruptured and there was bleeding. The digits on his right hand were more affected than those on the left. It was very painful for him to even do regular executive functions.\nWe met with many specialists - Neurologists, Dermatologists, Diabetologists for two years across Kolkata and Bangalore, but to no avail.\n\nFinally, we met up with Dr. Bushra in Aster RV Hospital in Bangalore.\nIn just two meetings, Dr. Bushra figured out the root cause that was causing the problem. In the second meeting, she asked us a few questions:\n\n1. Did he do Puja himself?\n2. \u2060Did he do it daily?\n3. Is he a right handed person?\n4. \u2060Did he use flowers for his Puja activities?\n5. \u2060If yes, what kind of flowers did he use?\n\nThe answers to all the above questions were in the affirmative and among the many types of flowers he was using, Hibiscus was the main one. Dr. Bushra reached her conclusion that the pollen grains of the Hibiscus flower were causing an allergic reaction for my father and that he needed to stop that to get cured. His right hand was most affected because he was using his right hand more than his left hand while touching the flowers. She prescribed no medicines except some painkillers for a few days. She also advised him to avoid using Hibiscus flowers altogether and if doesn't want to, then to use gloves to cover his hands before touching the flowers. \n\nMy father became alright within a month or two. He is completely cured of the problem. What is most commendable is that Dr. Bushra spent time in diagnosing the root cause of the problem, using her clinical training. Very few modern-day doctors tend to spend time in doing clinical diagnosis to find out the root cause of the ailment. She also spends a lot of time with her patients, a very important aspect for a Doctor to be able to do a good clinical diagnosis. On top of that, Dr. Bushra is immensely compassionate and believes in a holistic approach while treating a patient.

I was recommended Dr. Bushra Bahjat by my brother after I had been dealing with an infection. Initially, I consulted another doctor, but I couldn’t quite understand the issue. Even after following the prescribed medication for three days, I didn't feel any improvement.
I decided to seek a second opinion from Dr. Bushra Bahjat, and I’m so glad I did. She was incredibly patient and calm, and she was able to diagnose the infection right away during my first consultation. What stood out the most was how thoroughly she explained my condition in terms that were easy to understand. Beyond simply prescribing the right medication and tests, Dr. Bahjat took a genuine interest in identifying the root cause of my health issue and any underlying conditions contributing to it.
It’s been a week since I consulted her, and I’m already feeling much better. Overall, my experience was excellent, and I would genuinely recommend Dr. Bushra Bahjat to my family and friends. She truly cares about her patients' well-being!

I have been meeting Dr Bushra for my parents and myself for a few years and I could not have asked for a more empathetic and competent doctor. From understanding the pulse of her patients to recommending tailored pre-emptive treatment plan we feel assured under her guidance. My mom has had 7 surgeries, is a cancer survivor and has dealt with labile hypertension due to clinical anxiety. I am super cautious with any of her treatment plans and for the last few years, Dr Bushra has been managing my Mom's overall well being, My Mom has had some of the best medical results under her treatment, whether it is for her arthritis or bone heath, pain management, heart health or hypertension.. so much so that my Mom just did a trip of Nathula Pass and came back super refreshed :)
Thank you Dr Bushra for everything you have done for her and for me. Needless to say, your counselling for patients attendants have kept their health in check too ...(especially as a daughter you look at your parents struggling, it can be stressful), she is a very reassuring doctor, highly informed and competent. Highly recommend.

When my mother suffered a stroke, Dr. Bushra Bahjat, her general physician, was our pillar of strength. Her attention to detail and care, checking in with her, and prescribing supplements and medication to improve my mother's overall health were exemplary. She connected with my sister and husband while they were in India and despite being miles away, I felt reassured knowing my mother was in Dr. Bahjat's capable hands.
During my own trip to India to care for my mom, I fell ill with gastroenteritis. Dr. Bahjat treated me not just for that but also underscored the importance of a comprehensive women's health check-up at Aster. She went over my results meticulously, suggesting medication and care that spanned my physical and emotional health. This holistic approach to wellness, underpinned by Dr. Bahjat's extensive ******* ********* *** compassion, made our difficult family experience a bit easier. Her guidance helped reassure my anxiety as a caregiver, offering me not just medical but also moral support. She was responsive to my WhatsApp messages any time during the day and proactively reached out to inquire about my mother and my well-being.
I intend to continue being in touch with Dr. Bushra and consult with her during my trips to Bangalore. I highly recommend her as a caring and thoughtful physician who specially can relate to the medical practice both here in India and in the US.

I would like to express my deepest gratitude to Dr. Bushra for the exceptional expertise she provided for my digestive and gastric issues. After many years of struggling with misdiagnoses from other physicians, Dr. Bushra not only accurately diagnosed my condition which to me was more than half of the solution, but also guided me through a comprehensive treatment plan.
What truly sets Dr. Bushra apart is her holistic approach to healthcare. She not only treated the physical symptoms but also took the time to explain the intricate connection between mental health and digestive disorders, providing me with invaluable guidance to prevent future recurrences.
Moreover, witnessing her compassionate care extended to my grandmother was truly heartwarming. Her ability to connect with elder patients, earning their trust effortlessly, speaks volumes about her dedication and empathy.
I am not alone in my admiration for Dr. Bushra. Other family members who have been under her care share the same sentiments, emphasising her exceptional ability to build trust and outstanding diagnoses followed by treatment.
I am immensely grateful for her services and wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone seeking quality healthcare.

Dr Bushra’s approach to treatment is like none other doctor I’ve met before. Initially I felt a little dissatisfied with the consult as the doctor gave me all solutions and lifestyle changes, explained the mind body connection of my symptoms. Where as I went looking for some further investigations for diagnosis. I was convinced that none of this would work. However, I was curious and gave it a try looking at the doctors confidence in the root cause of my chronic diarrhea. To my surprise I found that, it is exactly the kind of doctor I needed to see. She only fixed the nutritional deficiencies, mainly through dietary supplementation, counselled me on both my visits. Now I understand the symptoms and the root cause of the concerns better. I am writing this review only after my follow up visit and being convinced for the modalities of treatment used by this doctor. Dr Bushra Bahjat is exactly the kind of doctor that we need in todays time and age. Thank you for finally putting an end to my ordeal.

Unbelievably sweet and very articulate.
She explained exactly what I wanted to know very calmly and clearly. Her advice on lifestyle felt natural, not forced. I left the hospital feeling much better.
Her handwriting is as neat as an English teacher’s. Finally a doc’s prescription you don’t have to squint to read.
She listened carefully, asked the right questions, and made small, practical suggestions. It felt like a conversation, not a lecture.
Highly recommend her if you want a doctor who genuinely cares.
