    The doctor was exceptionally attentive, thoughtful, and very clear in what he was doing, and very understanding about the pain that I was in, and reassured me that he could actually give me something to help with the pain, and ideally get to the bottom of the problem that no one has yet been able to diagnose. I'm very happy with the doctor.

    [redacted]. The Dr was extremely kind, caring & compassionate. Much much better care than my Maine Dr's. But I did struggle to understand him. I also wanted to go over my MRI images with him. And he didn't do that. I felt like I drove 5 hrs one way and he should have explained my diagnoses in my detail. But I did really like him.

She was very smart and took a great interest in my story did an exam and then I met Dr Bhattacharyya. I was also very impressed with him, and it was worth the way to get an appointment with him. He also examined me and they both gave me hope that I will finally get a diagnosis of something that I have had many test for and have not had a diagnosis. They ordered more tests and I am looking forward to seeing them again. I think I finally have a diagnosis.

    I have come to respect Dr. BHATTACHARYYA a great deal. I have an unusual case and he has explained things to me over the years in a way that I understand. Moreover, he shows (and has always shown) tremendous respect for me. I know he listens as he will often bring things up at my next appt. I like that he is a wonderful teacher to the students in the room.
