5.0 star star star star starDr Bhattacharya took enough time to understand my concerns and expectations, and suggested effectove treatment to which I agreed. She was caring, knowledgeable and efficient which was needed under the circumstances. Sending the prescription to the pharmacy was a bit delayed which became a bottleneck given the pharmacy backlogs. The team's attentiveness to my messages was very helpful. Many thanks!!

5.0 star star star star starShe is a great listener, ansks important questions, and has wonderful energy. Most importantly, she was able to suggest a diagnosis for something I suffered far too long that no one else could figure out. The fact that she cares is evident.

1.0 star star_border star_border star_border star_borderI like Dr. Bhattacharya but I think sometimes she can be very distant. Again, it's frustrating when you're in pain and you have a very serious issue and you JUST saw your doctor but you're just another number or patient to her.

1.0 star star_border star_border star_border star_borderI do not feel Dr. Bhattacharya is thorough in her examination (especially as a fairly new patient). I have to offer most information. We did not discuss any smoking, drinking, or exercise habits and I had high cholesterol on my last blood test panel which makes me feel uneasy. In addition, once told she was going to perform a pelvic exam specifically (after receiving a pap smear), she entered my rectum and did not do any pelvic exam afterwards or acknowledge what happened.

5.0 star star star star starSee above. I was able to get a telehealth appointment with Dr. Bhattacharya very quickly and she was responsive, thorough and compassionate. She also let me know what kind of things to look out for and encouraged me to re-contact with any questions/concerns.

5.0 star star star star starI love Dr Bhattacharya! She makes me feel cared for and not just another pt. She listens. Today I had an appointment but before we dove in for the reason For my visit but how both me and my son were doing. She takes her time, answers all questions and really makes sure I understand what the next steps are.

External Professional Relationships
Pharmaceutical, device, and biotechnology companies frequently collaborate with basic scientists and physicians within an academic medical center to help advance science and improve patient care.
