Everything went very smoothly and efficiently. Dr. B. and his staff were all very friendly and put me at ease.
Dr. Bhattacharyya performed a very successful open reduction internal fixation procedure on my left elbow about 8 weeks ago. Its joint alignment is excellent, its range of motion is already nearly identical to that of my right arm, and its bearing ability is rapidly increasing. I feel very fortunate that he could fit me into his schedule on short notice.
I wanted to give Dr. Bhattachryya 4 stars but it did not work. He is a great surgeon without the arrogance that we, patients, have to cope with very often. He fixed the bad femoral bone fracture I had with great expertise. Came to visit me the day after and explained in simple words what he had done. Told me as well that I looked better than the day before. That helps when you still feel miserable. I immediately felt at ease with Dr. Timothy (as I named him).
Excellent care, surgery went very well
Even one star is too much for this doctor. Stay away from Dr. Bhattacharyya. He did a hip surgery on me in Suburban Hospital and now one leg is shorter than the other. When I asked him how in the world that happened, he said that it is normal in a majority of cases in this surgery. In his view, it is normal to make an able individual disable. He should be fired from Suburban Hospital!
Very poor bedside manner. He made the wrong diagnosis (torn ACL, surgery required) based on a CT Scan, not an MRI. Added unneeded emotional trauma to a very difficult event.
Whish I could give 0 Stars. My son went into Suburban Hospital with a broken and separated elbow. Dr Bhattacharyya took Xrays, reset the elbow, and told us to see him in his office in a week. My son kept complaining he couldn't feel two of his fingers but the doctor told him it was normal. Luckily my son goes to school with other orthopedic families so we sent them pictures of the X-ray and told them what was going on. We were told to urgently come in and within a day he was rused to surgery. The elbow was set wrong, the ner... read more
I was treated by Dr. Bhattacharyya in the Suburban Hospital emergency room when broke and displaced my elbow. He was very efficient in fixing the displacement. However, he became increasingly persistent in his attempt to convince me that I needed a surgery which my orthopedist said was not necessary. I recommend you to get the second opinion from the orthopedist you trust before agreeing to the surgery with Dr. Bhattacharyya.
He was an out of network surgeon, in my in- network facility, that performed an emergency surgery, knowing he would then charge me directly for a huge sum - I had to fight for an appeal which took forever and I started l still had to pay a huge sum for the surgery. Also there’s a huge dent in my knee that other surgeon will have to fix now. Horrible
