Mr Bhat is a very professional and very nice person and I fully trusted him from the first appointment. He took care of me as a patient very well. Mid-2021, Mr Bhat treated my carpal tunnel with cortisone injection in both hands. His diagnose was very accurate, as at that time it wasn't clear to other health professionals examined me before Mr Bhat if all symptoms I had was due to the carpal tunnel. In that time I had pain from the back of my neck to the end of my fingers in both hands. Both hands were perfectly pain-free for 6 months after the injection. My right hand is still perfect. However, my left hand started the pain again and Mr did the operation to release the nerve today. Mr Bhat and his 2 nurses were really kind and professional, and my operation went really smooth and fast. I am so grateful for the whole experience I had today, starting with the positive vibe receptionist to the professional consultant and his nurses.

I didn’t feel much just some pulling. It was good that the doctor talked about what they were doing and I could understand.
