Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Dr Bhattacharyya did surgery a few years ago and everything was fantastic.I developed other issues and went back and as always he was fantastic. I highly recommend him, you will not be disappointed. I travel over an hour to see him. I would not go to anyone else.

I've visited and have had surgery under Dr. Bhatt acharya, a few years ago. I still have chronic sinus problems, which he is adamant that there's nothing else that he can do! I'm sure if I were rich or some celebrity, etc., He'd find a way to fix my problem. I know that extensive checking etc., With the turbines and all the sinus cavities, he could find out what is causing me to have to blow my nose through my mouth, which I HATE !!!, ITS Not the most pleasant thing,! But...praise God I'm still alive !!! It could be worse! You doctors are growing older year by year & you don't know what health issues you're going to endure. All I can say is what goes around does come back around. Praying for all of you .

The very best ENT!
I am writing this today in tears (happy and grateful!) in hopes of helping, even one person, find relief for their sinus issues from the best ENT anyone could hope to find. I first went to Dr. Bhattacharyya in tears (sad and frustrated), practically begging him for help and he has absolutely come through. He set up a regimen with the nasal rinse that included a compound antibiotic and an anti inflammatory liquid. He clearly set my expectations that it may take a while for me to feel totally better, and there was a possibility of more surgery. He told me that he was in this with me. He followed up every 6 weeks, then 3 months, and now 4 months. I have my quality of life back!! He has the most updated techniques and equipment. He is kind and a good listener. I told him at my last visit that he is my hero! I cannot recommend him highly enough!!

Fake reviews! Beware - bad surgeon!
I chose him based on the reviews, but after more thorough analysis, there are a bunch of 5-star reviews at a fairly regular cadence during the course of a year -- these are undoubtedly fake and was used by him to make him look better. Another ENT surgeon who knew him earlier in his career said he is not a very good surgeon. He did a septoplasty that was supposed to make my breathing better at night. Now my breathing is much worse - in the day as well. I can barely pass air through one of my nostrils. In the post-surgery appointment, he claimed success and said it was such a great improvement! Incredibly insulting for me since I'm now suffering from his terrible job.

The care and professionalism provided,supported by his years of experience and knowledge place Dr. Bhattacharyya in my Physicians Hall of Fame. Having experienced the best and worst of medical care throughout my life, I recognize excellence. Excellence measured by time spent in listening, diagnosing the condition, conversing in an understandable manner while providing possible solutions and treatment, and in demonstrating genuine concern for a patient's well being. If these were boxes, Dr. Bhattacharyya would have each of them checked. Also comforting is knowing that this is not an anomaly, as my experience with Dr. Bhattacharyya spans a period of years. Having confidence in a relationship is critical to its success, especially when that relationship impacts one's health and quality of life. My confidence, expressed in 5 stars, is simply the sum of the skills of a physician who is one of the best in his area of expertise, and the caring he clearly demonstrates.

Dr. Bhattacharyya was extremely patient and thorough in his explanation of a sinus system using color charts of a normal system. He then was able to attach a camera to a scope and display my sinus system on a screen while explaining everything in detail. He was very meticulous and patient in describing what he needed for our next visit. This is the best patient care I have ever experienced.

I have been seeing Dr. Bhattacharyya for almost a year now. I had a failed sinus surgery with a provider at my local hospital, then went for a 2nd opinion with another doctor at Mass Eye and Ear and had another awful experience. So I did my research and found Dr. Bhattacharyya, I'm so happy I did! He and his team are amazing to say the least! He is always on time, takes the time to listen to what I have to say and explains things to me so I understand. He truly cares and is great at what he does. He did a sinus revision surgery on me in June and it went great and relieved my pain. I still follow with him closely and will eventually need another corrective procedure. I should add that I am a nurse and have worked in healthcare for 17 years as well as have taken care of multiple family members. With that being said I have worked with a lot of healthcare providers and Dr. Bhattacharyya is truly one of the best. I would highly recommend him to anyone needing an ENT!

Dr. Bhattacharya is a great doctor. I had sinus surgery with him and so did my 2 children. My friends were in disbelief when they saw me a few days after my sinus surgery and was almost completely recovered except for some minor congestion. My experience was absolutely excellent and his staff is outstanding and kind. I trust him with my family members.

I have had seen several specialists before Dr. Bhattacharyya. He was the first to review my scans with me, inform me what I was looking at and what the procedures would look like to correct the issues. The day of surgery and thereafter I cannot speak more highly of the not only the nurses, but the limited swelling and no visible bruising. He is HIGHLY recommended not only because he skillful at what he does, but is cognizant in not creating any other scar tissue that others do not when under the knife. Thank You for helping me breath better!

We have full confidence in Dr B. I am an OR nurse and my sister did not listen to me and had sinus surgery and septum at her local hospital referred by her PCP. Of course, that ENT could not clear out all the polps and disease, and he told her should would need another surgery in 8 weeks! I forced her to see Dr B after several of my workmates recommended him. He saw my sister, did her surgery, and in a single day surgery she is completely clear and doing great. He is the best.
