Zubin S. Batlivala's Online Review Report Card

This man could really care less about his patients. He is impatient, curt, disrespectful and should not be in his position of pain management. I found another pain clinic and am amazed that they treat me so well. Do not get started on your path with this arrogant person who has zero compassion.

Instead of helping you with any little bit of understanding or compassion this doctor is disrespectful and angry. I don’t know or care what his life story is, but it’s not right to take it out on his patients. No one has ever treated me like he did in my life.

This man has no social skills whatsoever. You must walk on eggshells when you see him. I highly recommend not getting involved with him at all. I had surgery at CMC, and everyone that knew him there said to be careful because he can be very mean and insensitive. That’s the nice way of saying what they really said. Be forewarned.

Please do not expose you or your loved one to this man. He is angry man. Referred by a surgeon in his office Dr Ahn. I expected a good appt and brought my 16 yr old Autistic child because she can't stay home alone. This man accused me of lying and being a drug addict. I dont do drugs I've never even smoked and I don't even drink. He humiliated me my husband and daughter. I have never been treated so badly by anyone in my life. I just cant believe this practice has this man on staff. I wish I had read the reviews. Please do not go to him. I sat their and asked him why he was treating me this way. I said I'm a good person and kind. My spine condition isn't something I willed on myself. I immediately went to tell a secretary she apologized profusely and got the office manager who was just saying I wasn't in the room so I don't know who's telling the truth. As you can see from the reviews he is this way. Please stay safe and protect yourself from this man

Waited 35 minutes to see him which I don't mind, but he gave me 5 minutes and was dismissive and curt. This doctor has 0 compassion. I was with this practice for years and when my doctor left Dr Batlivala was the only option given to me. Doesn't give patient anytime for questions, he rushes you out.

Dr Batalava cares about his patients. He's intelligent on all different levels of back and spine issues.

This doctor does not listen to his patients. I have sever back issues I went to him and suddenly I had a leg issue wait a wrist issue not once did he actually do his job,he is always rushing,has absolutely no manners at all .he puts u way underneath him ..I rate this doc a 1 I'd like to leave a 0 but I recommend u find another doctor who will treat what is wrong and listen to what u have to say.

Zubin Batlivala is the bottom of the barrel. He is an angry hateful man and should never be in the pain care business. He talked over the patient, would not listen to anything she said. At one point he stopped to stare angrily at her, to intimidate and harass. He ended the appointment with a few dismissive insults. NOT RECOMMENDED FOR ANY PAIN PATIENT

I did not have a good experience. I waited from 11:25am until 12:45pm to see the doctor. My appointment was at 12pm, I was asked to be early for xrays. No one even acknowledged the delay. The nurse was very friendly and thorough, but Dr Batlivala was a huge disappointment. The nurse spent more time with me than he did. His bedside manner is terrible. He barely greeted me, never smiled, and hardly even made eye contact. His questions seemed like more of an interrogation than like he wanted to get to know me/help me. He kept asking why I was there, and what I wanted from him (which felt very weird and made me uncomfortable). I have issues with my back, and also autoimmune and neurological disorders. I was recently diagnosed with SFN, and also have lupus. I suffer from back pain and nerve pain and migraine headaches. I have seen several specialists and very much wanted to consolidate care. I read everything on the website. I was so hopeful that I had found a place that could treat me, and a place where providers would work together on a treatment plan. I told Dr Batlivala that and he told me that is unrealistic, and that doctors don't have time to talk to eachother (maybe he needs to spend time on the website). He barely examined me. He didn't even ask me to come back. I waited months for this appointment, hoping to meet a provider who could help. I hoped to find a practice that would treat me as a whole person (and offer something besides pills). I was crying by the time I made it back to the elevator. Very disheartened by the lack of care and compassion.

I went to NHNS for spinal issues .. when surgery was no option at the time i had to do pain Management . No time while being perscribed Oxycodone did he reach out to me to see how i was coping .. i only had to talk to them every 6 months or so .. when my lower dosage of pain meds did not work they gave me some stronger oxycodone .. This did help my pain very much but to what cost .. 2 years of 4 pills a day is like 3000 pills in 2 years .. Im55 and never been addicted to anything minus cigs .. after 2 years I made the decision of a addict or be in pain .. i chose pain .. I made an appointment with Dr Batliwala and i spent more time with the nurse and there was compassion for why i was there . Dr B then comes in the room and there was very little eye contact when i was explaining my issue with becoming addicted .. so he said to me That I should stop 1 pill that day and gave me these very generic instructions to taper myself down (3000) pills later and i got to do this myself and i was frightened about withdral and he just said i would be uncomfortable and sent me on my way ... The withdrawls and cravings on top of my pain was so hard .... #3 days into my taper i get a call from a lab tech or sombody .. I thought they were checking in on me so my hopes went up .. The call was to Inform me that there was THC in my system and i cant receive opiates .. I have a medical Cannabis prescription from my primary .. its no secret but Legal in this state. I was shocked that this was the call i would get ... I told the person on the other end that if it was not for med cannabis this would be much harder . So i called DR B office and a memeber of his team called me and I told her the whole story.. She was Shocked and beside herself about the treatment or lack of compassion He has towards people ... We are not just a paycheck we are people that have struggles and needs .. this is pain management not just a pill pushing factory . I think Dr B needs some humbling and some social interacting classes because he sucks . I hope they never push anyone alone to get off opiates because thats how people die from "PAIN". and do not treat people like they are pages in a book .. Some people need more help than others .. I am 8 days clean no thanks to Dr Batliwala. he just stopped the prescription... Real hard work ... Learn some real compassion or at least fake it real good or give it to your team ...
