I found Dr. Bhakta after a desperate search for doctors who make house calls on the Central Coast. My father's Parkinson's had progressed to a stage where it was difficult for him to leave the house to see his doctor. In addition, my mother had stopped seeing doctors over twenty years ago except under emergency circumstances. Now, in her late 80s, she was complaining of of a number of health concerns.
Dr. Bhakta's visits dramatically decreased the trips to the emergency room and uncomfortable rides in the car. He was very responsive to my calls and was willing to look beyond medication for solutions to various health concerns.
His innovative treatment improved my mother's memory and her mood. Whereas before she was constantly complaining of stomach pain and not wanting to leave her house, she now rarely complains of pain and goes on daily excursions to the beach. I am able to have more meaningful conversations with her, and she remembers some of the details from past conversations. My parents adamantly wanted to stay in their home. Dr Bhakta's visits allowed them to do this and to have a higher quality of life.
