Patient Reviews
Dec 16, 2023
After COVID I had a horrible throat pain and was having trouble choking and breathing . I went to my other doctor and he just shook his shoulders and said I don’t know and walked off. Dr Kharatts team took me and did tests and determined that I did actually have diverticulitis pockets in my esophagus. They treated me with meds to help with this problem.
