His approach centers on treating the whole person and empowering patients through education, preventive care, and shared decision-making.

He has extensive experience in managing conditions like diabetes, depression, cardiovascular disease, chronic pain, and geriatric care. I support the American Academy of Family Medicine Practitioners (AAFMP) and the California Dept of Public Health's (CDPH) guidelines and schedules on vaccinations to protect your child's and the community's health. ### Professional highlights Dr. Samarth Bhatnagar is a board-certified Family Medicine physician who values building long-term, collaborative relationships with his patients. ### Outside of medicine Outside of Medicine, he enjoys spending time with his family, watching and playing sports, walking, biking, playing chess, and engaging in hands-on projects.
