Abhiram R Bhashyam, MD, PhD

I was extremely disappointed at the end of the visit to find that he mainly performs the type of surgery that I need at the Waltham Mass General. I need the surgery for transportation and other issues to be done at the main campus and I'm still trying to somehow negotiate that.

First time (my former Doctor retired) Excellent

Hello, so I just wanted to say that the whole team was amazing, very professional, starting from the nurses, exceptional. The doctor, the surgeon, everyone did a good job, I guess. That is to be determined, but yeah, the only thing is like, I'm just waiting for a follow-up call and I have some questions for the doctor, but my overall experience was amazing. Thanks for the whole team treating me so good. Thanks so much. Bye.

Excellent experience. No negatives.

I felt that Dr. Bhashyam listened to me and we came up with a treatment plan that was going to be the most successful. I didn't feel rushed or pressured into anything.

Dr. Bhashyam is an outstanding surgeon and care provider. He is extremely skilled, intelligent, and informative. It's a pleasure to work with him.

I trust his judgment, and have faith in what he advises me to do.

I am finally receiving the medical treatment for my injury.

Dr B is an excellent doctor. He is very careful and takes time explaining the situation and procedures

Dr B is an exceptional surgeon and I recommend him without reservation. I am very lucky he took my case, as it was complicated and he had the skill to solve the issues. Thank you

I thought he was great, very knowledgeable, and not typical condescending and arrogant physician that usually you encounter at Mass General. I was very pleased.

He explains in details all options to treat your medical condition, the pross and cons, what's causing it and what is the outcome of the treatment selected. Very knowledgeable doctor, answers professionally all question you may have. Happy to be his patient.

He is answered all my questions and showed me diagrams so I could see the problem

Explain all the details

It was worth the wait. If other cases were as difficult as mine, I can understand the wait. All questions were patiently listened to and explained.

Dr. Bhashyam was very informative about my condition and I was very impressed that he and his physician's assistant actually knew so much about my case before I actually saw him. And so I was very, very happy with that. He knew my situation very well based on looking at the x-rays and he gave me great explanations for what was actually happening and explained the surgery that he would offer, tentatively speaking, without getting further testing done. And I was very, very happy, very, very happy with my appointment. He gave me hope that this could be fixed and I was very happy. I liked his mannerisms. He was very slow.

At this stage, I'm only waiting for the secretary of the provider to schedule the surgery as discussed during the medical appointment. If there is nothing urgent that requires an immediate call, I'd appreciate if I could set the date before the Christmas break. Thanks for your attention on this matter. Regards.

This doctor was a second opinion and I like that he did not go directly to surgery first.

Dr. Bhashyam is a kind and caring surgeon. I messaged him on a [redacted] after I fell and learned I had a wrist fx and he got back to me [redacted] to say he was sorry this happened and his surgical coordinator would call me to make an appt to see him. [redacted] Dr. Bhashrym performed surgery on my other wrist a year ago and I had excellent results. I am SO PLEASED to have him as my surgeon and would recommend him highly.

Dr Bhashyam is one of the best doctors I have ever had. He saved my life by his knowledge and expertise in surgery on my left arm (which is my writing arm). He and his staff are always there for me 4 years after the surgery with answers to any of my questions. His office is 100 on a scale of 1-10! I am just glad I am old enough to be his grandmother so he will be around for the rest of my life, if I ever need him again. Oh yes, he has assisted me in other medical problems. He is a keeper for Mass General!

He was extremely helpful with all my questions & concerns. Very nice & understanding.

The entire staff members were great. [redacted] was great with me putting my splints and helping me with the entire process. [redacted] was great calling me to explain the process of the surgery. The Doctor and also [redacted] were great with me. The entire staff were great I want to include everybody who did help me and say they are the best. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. GOD bless them all.

Exceptional care

I see Dr. Bhashyam regarding a surgery to repair a severely broken elbow and damaged ulnar nerve. He has been extremely friendly, patient and has explained everything making sure I understood what was happening and what to expect. He always shows me my x-rays pointing out areas of healing. He is a great doctor!

Thank you for your expertise.

We had a great experience with this doctor and team!

Always a good experience, and makes me want to always use Mass General.

I've never felt so understood, comfortable and respected in an orthopedic office, especially being a first time patient. 10/10

He is extremely good, knowledgeable and very skilful

Very professional and knowledgeable.

excellent approach and advice

[redacted]. My total visit time was less than 7 minutes. Doctor had not looked at my record or my x-rays before the appt started. Doctor recommended that I get a silicon sleeve for my finger and referred me to the OT group in the same office. [redacted]. The whole experience was definitely not up to par with what I would expect from MGH.

Running late but I expect that to happen at times, That was the first time that happened. Appreciated care given!

The provider and his team were prompt, professional, and thorough. I am a physician and the team met all of my needs and exceeded expectations.

He's awesome. He listens to you and explains everything perfectly with the MRI, even shows you everything. He's always on time and he addresses every problem you have. He's awesome.

Great care giver!

He was informative and listened to my concerns. I appreciated his thoroughness and plan to gather information before forming a treatment plan.

Nothing they cared for me well

Great explanation of issue and choices, along with next step. The prelim staff did an excellent job and took a good amount of time with me

I was very impressed with [redacted] and Dr. Bhashyam. They were both very kind, personable and knowledgeable. I felt very cared for and incredibly relieved with the news they gave me about my finger! [redacted] Most of all, I received the best and easiest advice from Dr. B, which I appreciated most of all. Thank you very much for your professionalism and kindness!

I was very pleased with the care I received from Dr. Bhashyam. Also, being able to see Amy Orroth, the Senior Occupational Therapist, immediately was terrific. Her care continued the exceptional care of my visit.

The provider dismissed my pain. I still followed his plan of care and then returned despite not having any relief of pain. The same plan of care was recommended. This physician needs to have some training in empathy, checking his privilege, and the intersectionality of sexism and disability. He told me to "hire help" as a solution to the pain and not using my hand. I also felt that he dismissed me at every appointment as to why I'm having pain and questioned if my pain was real. When I said to the doctor, "I'm having pain all over [my hand]", his response was, "That's not possible."

The doctor was very competent and also very nice.

The doctor was very knowledgeable, patient, capable of explaining well all the options, and seemed very caring.

Exceptional

Dr. Bhashyam was great. Pleasant to talk to and he did a great job explaining his diagnosis. I was very pleased with my appointment with him. The nurse who brought me in didn't interact with me at all. She confirmed who I was, brought me to the room, and just said the doctor would see me shortly, and then she was gone. I was unsure if I was to get an x-ray prior to the appointment, The nurse was gone before I could ask the question. I did not get her name. All I can say is that she was an Asian woman. Most every nurse I have interacted with at MGH has been conscientious and pleasant to deal with. I didn't really appreciate this one's manner.

The provider was very easy to talk to and understanding. Answered all my questions that other providers didn't.

He was knowledgeable, confident, compassionate and respectful. What else could you ask for?!

Dr. Bhashyam provides excellent care.

I suggest anybody go to see this doctor. He's really polite and very experienced. And he told me what it was, carpal tunnel. And I didn't know what carpal tunnel was. I heard of it, but I didn't know. Thank you so much.

Very nice and very professional

He seemed like a real nice guy, very professional. [redacted]

I have seen Dr Bhashyam over the past year and each time he explains my condition in detail but in terms I understand about my condition and what is the best course of action. I really trust and admire his opinion. I would recommend him to anyone.

Great

Dr. Bhashyam was very personable and knowledgeable and treated me with respect and caring. I would recommend him highly. Thank you.

My experience with this care provider was extremely frustrating and disappointing. [redacted] From the moment I finally saw the provider, I felt completely unheard. Despite sharing my concerns and detailed medical history, the provider immediately jumped to a diagnosis without taking the time to listen or consider what I had said. When I attempted to explain why this diagnosis didn't fit my situation, he was dismissive and unwilling to reconsider, which only made me feel more ignored and disrespected. It was clear that my input and well-being were not a priority, and I left the appointment feeling like I had been brushed off. [redacted]

Wonderful experience well worth traveling to Boston for care

He listened to my updates and explainations and discussed what I sould focus on.

I saw both [redacted],MD and Abhiram Rashyam, MD. Both were kind, attentive, and thorough. [redacted]

[redacted] the PA, did the initial work up. She was friendly, articulate, knowledgeable, and concise. She explained the X-rays. I waited about 5 minutes for Dr. B to come in and recap what I'd been told. He was so nice!

The provider was excellent, listened to all concerns, and the utmost professional.

Very knowledgeable and courteous resident doctor and hand specialist.
