His expertise is clear, but what stood out most was the extra care he took to address my individual needs.

My answer is the same as above, namely: In 2019, 2024 and now in 2025, Dr. Sanjeev Bhatia helped me with some pretty major issues. In 2019, rather immediate surgery was needed for a significant quad tendon tear. After him doing the diagnosis, performing the surgery, and supervising the necessary lengthy rehab through the excellent NW medicine physical therapy department, I had regained all of my activities. In 2024, Dr. Bhatia diagnosed my rotator cuff issues and supervised my efficient time in physical therapy, again with the excellent NW medicine physical therapy department. We avoided surgery. I learned a lot which has enabled me to avoid any recurrence of the issue. More recently, Dr. Bhatia has diagnosed my quad tendon issue (different leg) and has again supervised my efficient time in physical therapy, again with the excellent NW PT department. Again, I am learning a lot which will enable me to minimize the risk of any recurrence. Each time, Dr. Bhatia's office was very quick in seeing me and starting the process. Dr. Bhatia was always available for my questions or to examine me during the process. He explains things extremely well. I have confidence that he is one of the best. I would have wanted no one else for my quad tear surgery, and I am glad that he is a believer in nonoperative remedies, i.e., PT. I am so glad he was available in 2019 and ever since. I am very active. He know that and I believe he delights in helping patients regain their abilities to the highest level possible, not just to get by. I am glad to discuss further if you like, you can call me if you wish.
