Dr. Shetty has never worked at St. Francis. This is not the same Dr. Shetty. Dr. Shetty works at Waterbury Hospital, and continues to be an excellent surgeon. He is very kind, and he is very reassuring. I had no worries about Dr. Shetty performing my surgery.

We all live in an ever changing world. But sometimes these changes affect us on a very personal level...and our very health is impacted.. This happened to me on a very serious level and my life was saved by my devoted surgeon and the whole OR team..Anyone could study medicine and blindly apply this knowledge to his/her patients. We call them Physiciians.Now add caring, warmth, skill, HIGH moral and ethic standards, high expectations from those who work with him and simply a good soul. These are the tools needed to be a true healer and that is what Dr. Jay Shetty is...a true HEALER. God blessed us with him and I thank God daily. KM
