representatives seem undire of what they are doing Nowhere in Cleveland Clinic has anyone been even thoughtful of how far we have to drive. Been to Cleveland for impct studyand blood draw. wound up having to reschedule set appointment for 6/4 got there was told doctor did not show up. I was told they tried to call several times. but my phone shows 2 calls one 6;05 PM and 6:07pm. no messages left so we drove 3 hours up and back for nothing. rescheduled for June 22 for another impact.blood draw and covid testing. procedure set for 23rd. had to get a hotel to stay overnightJune 22 impact study. were told no more bloodwork neededJune 23rd procedure was asked by Dr Bhatt ig I had copies from camera procedure at Sycamore hospital in DaytonExplained I was told was sent by hospitalprocedure aborted. Dr Bhatt said didnt think this was the correct procedure needed and thought if double balloon needed should go from upper to small intestine not through colonDr Bhatt said make appointment for visual. he will obtain records and review them then call me. one would that someone would have looked at my records. Dr Lashner had quite a stack of them. however it appears that noone even looked to see if the double balloon procedure was what I needed. shoddy work. Dr Bhatt did the best he could and offered to call me.

Difficulties were mostly due to the office staff of my referring physician.

He wasn't my Doctor. Only chose this appointment because my primary doctor was over booked for the time I requested. He was not completely involved in my treatment so he just kind of brushed it off and would refer it to my primary doctor.

Dr. Bhatt is one of the best in my opinion. He performed all of the above actions in an exceptional way, always making sure I understood the explanations. I had a number of questions and he answered them then added additional information too. My first procedure with him went very well and I have the utmost confidence in his skill to do further procedures as they are needed.
