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.

Was never scheduled for a appt with Dr Bhatt by the person that called us. We arrived for appts on the 5th of July and asked when we were going to see dr Bhatt-the first dr called his office was put on hold for 20 min and finally hung up. Dr Bhatt did call us right before we left the clinic. We told him we would like to see him and he said the same thing-he wanted to see me. The info we received from the clinic was very scarce and incorrected as to where to go.
