I met with Dr. Barbhaiya in February 2026, during what can only be described as the lowest medical point of my life. My symptoms were extreme and defied clear categorization, falling into a Venn diagram of multiple specialties but belonging fully to none. By that point, I had been passed from one specialist to another - gastroenterologists, hematologists, oncologists, orthopedic surgeons, neurologists - without answers or a path forward.
Dr. Barbhaiya spent over an hour with me, far exceeding the typical, transactional 15 minutes most patients receive. Rather than referring me to yet another specialist, she took ownership of my case. She dug deeply into my medical history, asked the right questions, and pursued complex diagnostic testing that required peer‑to‑peer approval with my insurance - work that undoubtedly took time away from her other patients.
Because Dr. Barbhaiya was willing to slow down, step outside her swim lane, and advocate for me when my case didn’t fit neatly into a single specialty, I am finally on a clear path to recovery.
