If you are reading this review, most likely, you are in need of a retina specialist. I highly recommend Dr Pawan Bhatnagar. He is a knowledgeable skilled retina specialist with excellent credentials and a personable warm compassionate personality. Truly he is a rare find among busy doctors! The retina specialist I was seeing, was not available during covid and did not return after Covid. I did see another busy aloof specialist in his office, who neglected to do a dye fluorescein test. Having type 1 diabetes for 38 years and complaining of cobwebs. Sadly, I didn’t know to ask for it! I was diagnosed last year with a serious eye condition, proliferative diabetic retinopathy; requiring continuous checkups and/or treatments for life. I needed to quickly find a new doctor. I scheduled consults with a few local retina specialists. ` For me, as important as a doctor’s educational credentials are, equally important is their bedside manner . It wasn’t until my appt with Dr Bhatnagar that I knew I found the right doctor! . Dr Bhatnagar showed compassion for what I was going through, confident reassurance that he could help me and a personable upbeat manor that he would get me through this; the scariest most disturbing health challenge of my lifetime. I went into his office with no vision in my right eye and needing treatment in my left eye I feared having treatment in my left eye, when I had no vision in right eye. Dr Bhatnagar discussed his treatment plan, and how he would go about it, all while confidently reassuring me each step of the way that it would be okay. Thankfully, I put my trust in him and followed his treatment plan It has been 10 months and No further treatment at this time is needed in the left eye.. He did the same with my right eye, explaining the situation, discussing the options and answering my questions. He was carefully monitoring and treating it, and preparing me to accept the need for a more aggressive treatment option; surgery.My confidence and trust were with him. My surgery went fine and I am recovering nicely. I have vision in my right eye and I am ever so grateful to Dr Bhatnagar and his team. Dr Bhatnagar is proof that you don’t always need to travel to a big city for qualified health care. I am so grateful and blessed that he is my doctor
