You're The One

I think of Dr. Margi Bhatt as my health and well-being coach and partner. Our journey together has been one of mutual compassion, interest, and responsiveness. There are so many moments of our time together that stand out in my mind. Of particular importance to me, was a time that occurred prior to me becoming a patient of hers. My prior long time physician, had moved to another position. I set myself up with another physician within my insurance plan. My disappointment was overwhelming as this physician would simply print me off something from the web (which I had generally already found), and didn't want to have in depth conversations about my blood work. As a result, I found myself, once again, looking for a physician. This time, however, I was determined to make a much better choice. I contacted Dr. Bhatt's office and asked if it were possible to meet with her as part of my decision making process. Honestly, I expected to be scheduled and charged for some sort of brief consultation. Instead, I received a very timely appointment during which we sat and talked. I felt as if I were having tea with a dear friend. I was able to ask why she ever went in to medicine, what was her approach to wellness, and other questions that were of importance to me. She spent a considerable amount of time with me. She honestly and directly answered all of my questions. And, at the conclusion of our meeting, she gave me a warm hug. Bonus - I was not charged for the visit. I remember feeling like I had finally found the one. The one that would listen to me, wouldn't rush me out of their office, and the one I could trust. I am forever grateful to this lovely woman.
