I was fortunate to be assigned to Dr. Samir Bhatt 23 years ago, for a growing osteoma in my right frontal sinus. It was an extensive surgery at that time. A complete success, not so much as a headache since.
I live in NH and had become increasingly ill over the last year. Multiple infections and symptoms were overlooked and wasn't found until I became emotionally unglued with a nurse, and a CAT scan was finally ordered.
My fear vanished once I knew I was in Dr. Bhatt's care. He is soft spoken and a calming influence. Listens and educates. You become part of the team and not simply the subject. A true gift to his profession and humanity. A truly humble and exceptional man.
