Dr. Bharat did a successful lobectomy to remove a very large left lung tumor that was adjacent to my heart. A surgeon at another renown medical center, whom I consulted for a second opinion, considered this tumor to be inoperable. Yet Dr. Bharat had the skill and the guts to do what needed to be done to save my life.

Dr. Bharat explained that the nodule on my lung is stable. The report on MyChart noted a widening of my esophagus. Dr. Bharat said as long as I can swallow food, that is not a concern. He recommended a follow-up CT scan in 6 months.

Dr. Bharat took me on as his patient even though I had a very rare, large, sarcoma tumor over four of my left chest ribs that was near a main artery. He said he could definitely do my surgery during my first appointment, giving me hope. He met with your team of specialists and they recommended proton radiation first which resulted in 80% of the tumor being necrosis when it was removed by Dr. Bharat with all clear margins. I believe Dr. Bharat was the only surgeon that could have been successful in performing my miraculous and life saving surgery.
