Basu P Patrick MD

I don’t even know where to begin. I have worked for an international airlines and have traveled the world. I have a keen eye and ear for customer service, cleanness and professionalism. I notice if someone is courtesy and polite and I am extremely hard to
impress having stayed at five star resorts and traveling first class. This doctor and staff are beyond superb. This hepatologist is the real deal. He is what every doctor should be.
He is extremely knowledgeable. In fact, he is one of the few doctors who does what he does, in the general region, being a hepatologist, not one who studies blood; one who studies
liver problems.
He is so impressive that while I had to take an additional test last week and had postponed writing this letter, he would have still gotten this review, irregardless of my latest result from the current doctor., because he earned that.
He surrounds himself with only the best. His team is amazing. As far as pain or if you’re scared about taking the various test, don’t be. In fact, don’t even give it a second thought. I felt nothing. He is located across the street from the Forest Hills LIRR and two blocks away from the major subway lines.
I am very Blessed that my God directed me to this doctor and team.

Dr. Pritwit (Patrick) Basu is a gastroenterologist and hepatologist. He has affiliations with Columbia, Mt. Sinai, and Long Shore LI Hospital in Forest Hills. I think he’s been teaching with Long Island University Brooklyn.
He has excellent bedside manner and is overall a very friendly guy & extremely knowledgeable. He always has 1 or 2 residents in his office as well– they gloat about all they have learned under him & how much he knows. It’s refreshing to speak to a doctor who can explain things thoroughly with a sound history disease & various treatment options.
Bloodwork is done on sight, certain days are for sonograms and procedures. They are thorough with what is needed to be scheduled.
Dr. Basu’s schedule does seem to fill up fast, due to days that he’s performing procedures in the office, or at the Hospital, or teaching. Appointments at the end of those days seem a bit rushed & haphazard. He occasionally goes away to conferences. They’re open on Saturdays.
The staff is extremely friendly & able to fit you in if there’s an emergency. Walking under the Forest Hills LIRR station, on cobblestone roads, to Dr. Basu’s homey Queenscentric quaint office & staff, makes doctor’s visits less daunting.
