when i asked about an additional test that dr bhatt added, she clearly explained the need and what she was keeping an eye on in terms of my condition. i feel like dr bhatt is knowledgeable, responsive, and treats my condition comprehensively. she makes me feel that my eye disease is being treated the best it can be.
