Outstanding surgeon of the highest quality. Since surgery, he follow-up daily in the hospital provided my son with his personal cell phone should problems or concerns arise. My family can't say enough nice things about this gifted, empathetic, thoughtful, helpful engaged surgeon. Northwestern Medicine is so fortunate to have his.

This is the second time this feedback has been sent to me. I gladly reply again, because Dr. Bhakta made sure I understood what the surgery was going to accomplish and why. He answered questions and by his demeanor he definitely showed that he cared and was focused on the best possible outcome

Dr. Bhakta gave me information that clearly showed he was focused and dedicated to the success of my upcoming surgery, and that he cared that I understood what he was saying. Before and after surgery, he listened respectfully and responded to all questions clearly. Dr. Bhakta has the ability to convey that he cares. He is professional and efficiently personable!

This was our first meeting and I was concerned about having surgery. Dr.Bhakta conveyed positive energy and was well prepared. He had my information and explained to me what what needed to be done and how it would be done. Now I am looking forward to getting it done thanks to him.

Surgeons have a reputation of having a poor bedside manner. Dr. Bhakta does not fit that profile. He is skilled and proficient but also personable and caring. I always felt that he cared for my wellbeing both professionally and personally.

I feel extremely fortunate that Dr Bhakta was the on call surgeon when I was admitted via the ER. The first meeting, he sketched on paper a diagram of my organs and how I will continue to have normal functions without my [organ](which was still shocking to me as I never had any problems previously). He took time to explain the procedure and answered all of my questions. I felt safe knowing that he was confident and very knowledgeable. Truly excellent.

I was originally supposed to have my surgery done with another surgeon. But due the schedules in the OR and the other other surgeons' office schedule, Dr. Bhakta was a last minute change in my care. Both surgeons were very professional and made sure that Dr. Bhakta would take over only if I was comfortable with the plan. As a patient, I appreciated that and agreed to the change. Dr. Bhakta took some time to talk to me and my husband, got to know us for a few minutes and made us feel comfortable. My surgery went well and my recovery was smooth. I also appreciate the anesthesia team and everyone else in the OR as well as the PACU nurses that were involved in my care. I had no pain or nausea or vomiting afterwards. Thank you for taking good care of me! God bless!
