Dr. Bhatia was recommended by my doctor at Carle in Champaign, IL because he is an expert on this surgery. Everyone I spoke to told me the same thing. I felt this is true. Dr. Bhatia explained everything well and seemed confident that surgery was the appropriate decision. I trusted him in that decision.

One of the reasons I appreciate Dr. Bhatia is that he is not the type to jump to surgery as a healing method. He tried to help my injury with physical therapy and injections. But when those failed to alleviate the pain, he was confident he could help with shoulder arthroscopy. The surgery and recovery have thus far gone well. After a year of pain and discomfort, I am extremely thankful for that.
