I first saw the Doctor when I moved from Va to Kingston. He has taken care of me for almost 9 years. Excelent Dr. No problems.

Dr. Bhitiyakul was my attending physician in the hospital and cared enough to spend hours of his time to come up with a diagnosis that I hope will be in time to save my life. He is excellent in explaining things and even draws diagrams to illustrate the problem. Follow-up, although through my primary care Dr., is excellent. This Doctor is thorough, caring, and gifted in using his medical knowledge to solve mysteries.

i am very happy that I picked Dr. Bhitiyakul. He is an expert in hypertention, which I have. He was quick to diagnose my problem and perscribe a medication that helped me lower my blood presure. He also strongly recommended diet changes(giving me a menu to follow), exercise, vitamins and other ways to cope with stress (yoga,stretching and meditation). I also apprecitated the amount of time he spent with me explaining the situation I was in and what would happen if I did not address the issue with life changes as well as medication.
