Not recommended. He's a very disrespectful person, doesn't belong here. Heard that he soaks foreign objects, body parts, animals parts, in formaldehyde, and implants them in the patients during procedures. Could that be the reason most of his patients become disabled or die shortly after treatment? Just a disgusting doctor, does not belong here.

You dont't want to go to that doctor. He believes that all patients 'want' to be disabled, he's a very ignorant person, and I don't know why RI Hospital or Tufts employs him.

the best! His knowledge and expertise in women's cervical cancer treatment plus is equal to his compassionate, caring, supportive and understanding wonderful personality.

He's very unprofessional, he should be sent for a psychiatric evaluation and not be allowed to continue to work at RI Hospital. He gives that whole radiation department at the hospital a bad reputation.

He really shouldnt be allowed to continue to work there. Hes one of the worst doctors there. I was a patient there years ago and would never take any of his medical treatments nowadays knowing what an incompetent doctor he is.

I would not go to dr Yakub Puthawala, hes one of the worst doctors in rhode island. Always get a 2nd opinion when dealing with this type of doctor. You may be treated for a disease or a condition that you do not even have to begin with, and it will cause problems.

He should be supervised constantly and not left unattended with patients. He jokes about putting foreign objects from other patients in the patients, etc, not at all funny. He causes harm to the patients intentionally. Hes been described as deviant by coworkers. He shouldnt be there. Id like for the dept of health to check to see how many of his patients are now disabled or diseased. Too many. Other drs, Dr Yunes and Dr Wazer are aware, they do nothing about it.

I definitely wouldnt recommend him. He doesnt explain things clearly and theres just something about the dr that we didnt trust at all. Not recommended.

Definitely not recommended. I've had serious problems that I didnt have before after being a patient at RI Hospital where he was the treating physician. Definitely would not go there.
