Although I've just learned of Dr. Bhat's death my heart skipped a beat. He is larger than life and will always live as such in our family's life. He was bold, experienced. and confident enough to stand by me through the first pregnancy discrimination case in the nation's 13th federal circuit.  That court victory was a loud warning to the employers in the region to not discriminate against pregnant women.  He was also a compassionate doctor.

I just learned of Dr. Bhat' passing he
delivered my 1st. born in 4 - 18 - 1980
5' 6 oz over the yrs. I've thought about
him often, decided 2 - look my OB/GYN
Dr. up...We DON'T UNDERSTAND
GOD'S plan but we must ALL accept his 
children are ONLY LOANS. 2 - Us cry
NO MORE 4 - he (Our Dr. Bhat) is hm.
now with Our FATHER In Heaven
ALL PRAISE BE 2 - GOD, for sharing
him with us. AMEN, and Amen

I am forever grateful to the wonderful care that Dr. Bhat took of each and every patient.  He was my Dr. for 27 years and delivered both of my children. He was so wonderful that I continued to return to Fort Wayne after my move to Grand Rapids in 2011 to continue being his patient.  A wonderful man that will be missed by everyone.

My condolences  to  his family.  I will miss him as my doctor.

Dr Bhat helped me get through a very difficult 2nd trimester miscarriage in 2011. He was there for me when my actual doctor wasn't. It is near impossible to find a doctor that is so compassionate, kind hearted and genuinely happy to be at work. He will be greatly missed.

This was the best DR. in the Fort Wayne area. He delivered all my children and consoled me during both of my miscarriages. He will be truly missed.

My prayers go out to the Baht family. He was an awesome doctor to me for 8 years. He delivered my first and only child. May Dr.Baht rest in peace, you will forever be missed.

I am truly saddened by your loss. He was my doctor for many, many years and he got me through cancer surgery with much kindness.  He will certainly be missed.

I just found out of Dr. Bhat's passing. I am deeply saddened. He was my doctor. I will miss him. He was funny, gentle, professional, and down to earth. Many blessings to his family and friends. All the best to you Dr. Bhat.

Dr. Bhat was such a kind hearted man. He cared for so many and delivered my first son and niece. He worked next to Stephanie for 21 years and was well loved and a great friend to her and many. Our Christmas day was saddened and will be reminded on that day for years of the life he lived. So sorry for your loss!

I just learned yesterday of Dr. Bhat's passing.  He delivered my daughter in 1980 and, at EVERY appointment I had with him, he told one or more of his staff that this little lady (4'8") had a 10lb 2oz baby!  I will most truly miss him.  God bless his family.

I was just informed today of Dr. Bhat's passing and wanted to express my sincere sympathies to his family and friends. He was my OB/GYN since I moved to Fort Wayne 10 years ago, and he was with me through the birth of my daughter Emily just 6 months ago. He was a wonderful doctor, he had a great bedside manner, and he always made me feel comfortable. He will be greatly missed, and you will all be in my thoughts and prayers.

I just seen a picture Of Dr. Bhat last night on facebook, came to work and was talking with a co-worker about him, and she said Ashley you didnt know that he passed away. my heart is hurting right now. I did 10 surgerys on me in 2012 to take all my pain away. He was a great person and will be truly missed.

I received the news yesterday, my heart is broken! He was such a loving and caring doctor, who I will truly miss.

A physician with great compassion, who took care of me when no one would recognize even simple symptoms. Most importantly, I would not have my children, or my health without his patience, compassion, and expertise.

wow I am so sorry he was a great person he always had a smile and played jokes with me.. he delivered me when I was a baby and aslo delivered my beautiful daughter... I was so happy fir that he has been my dr. for some time... I am so sorry to hear u will be in my thoughts and prays....

I received the news yesterday of his passing and I was so upset. Dr. Bhat was truly a great physician. I saw him as a new patient when I was 22 yrs old. I moved to TN at the age of 26, and when I moved back to IN in 2011(age39) I already knew he was going to be my OB/GYN doctor again. I want the family to know that Dr. Bhat will be truly missed and my thoughts are with you.

Dr Bhat was my OB/GY for more than 22 years. He was very kind doctor with the smile in his face all the time when he entered the exam room... Very sad to hear that! Fort Wayne lost a very talented doctor in town. May God blessed you and your family!

DR Bhat Was my Doctor several years ago.. Very kind man and a wonderful doctor...

I am so very saddened to hear of the passing of Dr. Bhat.  I had been a patient of his for 15+ years. May God comfort you and your family.

I am saddened to hear of Dr. Bhat's passing....it was so sudden...my condolences to all of his family and friends...he was a wonderful doctor..we found out shortly after my daughter's birth that he delivered her, myself,and her father...I didn't have him as my doctor long...but he was the only doctor that could truly ease my mothers mind....Fort Wayne has definitely lost one of the good ones.

My condolences goes out to the Bhat family. Dr. Bhat was a great doctor, always smiling and encouraging.  I went to him because a friend said she knew a doctor that would find out what was causing my illness when other OBGYN doctors couldn't. She was right, he found out what it was and I was back feeling good again.  I will miss him...May he rest in peace.

I am still saddened over the passing of a very sweet, kind, and brilliant man and doctor.  He delivered me and my oldest boys. May he rest in peace.

I am so sorry to find out about your families loss. Dr. Bhat saved my life 2 years ago and his compassion for his patients was amazing. He will be greatly missed. You have my sympathies.

You showed compassion to others even as you left this earth you will be greatly missed

Dr. Bhat's family is in our thoughts and prayers today. He delivered both of my children - a kind, compassionate and highly skilled doctor.

I am so saddened to hear of Dr. Bhat's passing. He delivered both of my babies...and he even came to deliver my daughter, and it was his day off. That's just the type of Doctor he was...kind, thoughtful, loving, happy, a fatherly-type person. I will truly miss him. To his family and co-workers, my deepest sympathies go to you.

You were a great man who saved one of my sons life during birth. Never could thank you enough..god bless

Dr. Bhat with out him I would not be here today. Thank you for saving my life, I may not have the children i wished for but you gave me life to continue on to adopt two beautiful girls. They are now 8 & 9. Thank you again

My sympathies to Dr. Bhat's family, friends and co-workers.  Like so many here, he was also my doctor and an excellent one.  He even knew me by name when I saw him at other places.  I was with him almost 30 years.  My best memory is him saying "Not to worry, not to worry."  And then I knew it was ok.  He will be missed.

Goodbye my Dear Doctor, Friend and Miracle worker. You gave me the Sons that they said I would never have. You Were the Best OBGYN. You my Friend were the true meaning of What a Doctor should be. I will miss your Smile your wit and your guidance. Rest in Peace.

I'm very saddened to hear of Dr. Bhat's passing and wish you comfort during this difficult time.  I started seeing Dr. Baht when I first moved to FW at age 17.  I had an array of gynecological problems that he treated over the years.  He was also my obstetrician for two miscarriages, two full-term pregnancies  and he delivered both of my children.  He was always smiling, even when he was awaken at 2 am for the very abrupt delivery of my son.  I can still hear the words he said every time he walked into the exam room... "Nicole (Neee cole as he said it), Nicole, Nicole... How are you doing?"  I was always so confident in his care.  He was really such a wonderful person and FW has certainly lost a great doctor.  His death comes as such a shock to me.  I've now had a hysterectomy therefore my visits are much fewer, usually only when I have a problem. I called a month ago in terrible pain & was told he was on leave.  The receptionist offered for me to see a different doctor but I refused.  I rathered to wait out the pain until his return than see someone else.  Just a few days ago I went online to look up the phone number to call & see if he was back and I stumbled on this.  I give my sincere condolences to your family.  Dr. Bhat helped so many people & will be missed by many.  Best Regards, Nicole

Dr.Bhat delivered all three of my children he became my doctor in 1994 through 2007. I am so sad to hear that he has passed on. But he will never be forgotten for his kindness, and concern for his patients. Prayers are with his Entire Family.

Dear Auntie, Aishu, and Kedar. I am so sorry to hear of Uncle's passing. What a wonderful and warm generous person Uncle was.  I think fondly of all of my interactions with you all and with Uncle during our times together in Fort Wayne.  His memory lives and is special. My sincere condolences and best wishes as you recover from Uncles passing.  All best and with Love, Nimesh Gandhi

I am so sorry for your loss. He delivered my daughter January 22, 1995. He was a very nice and caring man.

I was so very sad to hear about the passing of Dr. Bhat.  He was the first doctor to take my concerns and severe pain seriously after 15 years of other doctors dismissing me. He had such a beautiful bed side manner, that so many physicians seem to lack now.  I was hoping that my daughter would have been able to benefit from his wisdom and sincere care for his patients health and well being.  

My condolences to his family, friends, and now all women in our area who must try to find a replacement for this great doctor who is so irreplaceable.

My heart is broken.  I have so much love for Dr. Bhat and all of his staff.  His gentle smile, sense of humor, and wonderful care will be missed by so many mothers.  He was the best doctor any expecting mother could wish for.  He has been such a help to me through the 7 years I have had the honor to be in his care, even up to the birth of my son just this past October.  I will miss him so very much.  I feel blessed to have known and been in the loving care of Dr. Bhat.

I just heard of Dr. Bhat's passing...I am so sorry to hear this.  He delivered both of my children and he was a wonderful man.  Dr. Bhat was always so kind, the world has lost a great man. My thoughts, prayers and sympathies go to his family, friends and colleagues.

My thoughts & prayers go out to the Bhat family. Dr. Bhat was my doctore & delivered my daughter 5 years ago on dec 15th. He helped me through two miscarriages. He always put a smile on my face as he would come into the room & say...shawna how u doing?! Dr Bhat will be missed.

My sympathy to the family, I had the pleasure of his friendship for many years and he will be missed by the Fort Wayne community and medical community.

The world is certainly less bright without Dr. Bhat.  When we moved to Fort Wayne seven years ago, a great friend introduced my wife to Dr. Bhat, and we are so grateful that he did.  Dr. Bhat was the perfect doctor for us and became a great friend.  We along with so many others will miss him very much.  My deepest condolences to all of his family and friends.

It is truly shocking to here of the passing of such a wonderful and kind doctor. I had the pleasure of knowing Dr. Bhat for 20 years. I know that his staffed loved him and those around him.  My prayers go out to his wife and family.  It will be hard to go to his practice knowing that he will not be there. A individual that you have built trust and rapport with can no longer assist you.  He will be missed.  SML

It is with heavy heart that I learned about the demise of Ramesh. Ramesh was a classmate from medical school and after a long period, I had the distinct honor of reacquainting his friendship during our Bombay medical school reunion in Chicago this last summer. The avalanche of testimonials are heartwarming and moisten my eyes that one of our classmates was held with such high regard and warmth in the community that he practiced in. He was a man with a healthy dose of humor and was able to regale us with funny stories about his residency days in the US. I shall treasure his soft spoken voice and kind nature. I would like to convey my condolences to his family and hope that your grief would be assuaged by the fond memories of him. Take care. Krishan (Kita) Patel

Dear Dr.Bhat's family and Co workers, I am very sorry for your loss. Dr. Bhat was a very nice man and a wonderful doctor. He did good for our community and he will be missed. Prayers with the family.

My heart goes out to the family. Dr Bhat delivered two of my children,saved my life when my son was born and then delivered both my grandchildren.    There just isn't enough room to express how my family felt about Dr Bhat.  All the other comments here do say it all.  Rest in peace. You were a wonderful man.

I am very sorry to hear about the passing of Dr. Bhat.  I was his patient for about 12 years.  He was always calm.  A man who didn't waste words, yet was funny and compassionate. He wasn't just my doctor but my advocate. His nurses, Candice, Stephanie, and Beth were amazing too. The four of them worked so well together. I always left my appointments knowing they actually care about me.  My condolences to his family.  He loved you very much.

As much as I despised annual visits, I dearly loved Dr. Bhat and enjoyed seeing him. I am very sad to hear of his passing.

Dr. Bhat gave me over 20 years of excellent wonderful care. I will miss his knock followed by Amy how are you doing and the sincere caring smile that he always had. Dr Bhat I will greatly miss you. My sympathy to the family.

I am so saddened about the passing of Dr. Bhat.  He delivered both of my daughters and always had such a gentle spirit.  His kindness was especially seen this summer when I was diagnosed with breast cancer.  He was so caring and understanding.  He was one of a kind.  Praying for strength for his family and caring staff.

Dr. Baht was a wonder man and doctor he will be greatly missed. Not only delivered my two daughters but saved my life after the birth of my premature daughter. My prayers go out to his family.

I worked with him from the time he started at pkv til 2002. We had many laughs and discussions. I will miss him and his " don't worry" philosophy.

Dr Bhat saved my life, taught me about caring for your fellow person, and showed great respect for the Dr who first invented one of over 140 procedures that gave me my precious sons. He was a student and proponent of life and love and he will be revered forever as the epitomy of what a dr should aspire to be

Dr. Bhat will truely be missed!  I had the pleasure of being his patient for 13 years. You don't find as many doctors with the comfort level as he provided. I also had the pleasure of meeting his son in Nov.at Macys. We talked about his dad. My heart goes out to the Bhat family.

My heart felt condolences on the departure of this great soul. My thoughts and prayers are with him and his family.

I just found out about Dr. Bhat and I'm heart-broken.  I adored him.  I've gone to him for 26 yrs and he delivered my son.  I trusted him and will greatly miss him.  My heart goes out to his family on their tremendous loss.

Dr. Bhat delivered my baby, and delivered all my brothers and sisters. He will always be remembered, and truly missed.

Dr. Bhat delivered my twins 3+ months early and my daughter. He also did five other surgeries on me. This man had the sweetest disposition and a wonderful sense of humor. There will always be a special spot in my heart for Dr. Bhat.  I always wondered what he was saying when he said his Indian rap during both of my  c-sections.

He was the answer to my prayers. Under his care I conceived my first child after 7 years of infertility. That baby is now 31. So sad to hear of his passing. I ask God to bless his grieving family.

Doctor Bhat was a very caring compassionate Doctor. He delivered my daughter 23 years ago. Prayers go out to his family.

Dr. Bhat delivered two of my four girls.  He was such a kind man.  Thoughts and prayers to his family.    The Gerbers Family

You brought all three of my children into this world and demanded me to get my tubes tied after my last child almost killed me giving birth to her. I thank you so much for caring about me and now my youngest being 26 and my oldest being 30, I thank God I had a wonderful caring doctor as you were and I've never found another. God bless your family in these times. You were very loved as you loved and cared for others.

Dr. Bhat delivered my daughter 23 years ago and also took care of that same daughter just a year ago during a medical emergency.  I knew she was in good hands when I brought her to him for help.  He was a one of a kind physician and will be missed greatly.  Thoughts and prayers to his family during this difficult time.

I met Dr. Baht in the early 80s when I was a nursing student at St. Joseph Hospital. I was taken by his sense of humor and easy going personality. He was always smiling and very soft spoken. He delivered our 3 children and I worked in his office. He treated everyone with care, compassion, and dignity. He will missed. Our thoughts and prayers go out to his family. Jan and Jeff Myers

My thoughts and prayers go out to your family in this time of morning.  Dr. Bhat was a great man and my doctor.  He had the best bedside manner.  We would always joke and carry on.  He loved showing me pictures of his granddaughters and was very proud of his children.  He will be missed by many.
