I have only had 3 appointments so far but this Doctor has given me back life after I had given up. Doctor Bhattacharya is a wonderful sleeper, you may not even know how in tune he is listening to you or why he asks the questions that he does but just trust him. Best Neurologist Ever!

My wife had Parkinson's and when complications began I tried to make an appointment with him for consultation on how to deal with the situation. He refused saying that my wife would have to be present. This was not possible as she was losing mobility. I tried 6 times over several months to meet with him and got the same response. He did not even make a phone call to discuss with her and me to help. No manners. I reported this to my primary physician.

This is the most incompetent doctor I have ever seen. His questions were totally inappropriate and rude, he did no neurological tests, he gave no advice and seemed only to want to sell me on a procedure that he was clearly getting paid to endorse, as he sent me home with a video about it, even though I told him I did not want it. He is very creepy and horrendous overall.

My husband has been to many neurologists for his Parkinson's disease and this guy was a major disappointment. He didn't even do any neurological tests on him at each appointment. Not even the basic ones. He basically just offended my sweet husband each visit by telling him he needed to lose weight. He sat at his computer typing with his back to my husband most of the time. We could tell he didn't care about him at all. He sent a report to our main doctor and it said he did all the neurological tests.

I had the pleasure of being treated by Dr Bhattacharya. He has a great attitude, a real caring person and he has helped me work through my health issues. I recommend him to anyone having issues with nerve problems
