The team of doctors who've diagnosed and managed my ANCA vasculitis is so outstanding, it seems unfair to choose a favorite. But just between us, it would absolutely be Dr. Mehta. He absolutely radiates kindness. He is such a patient man and so attentive and considerate in conversation. Despite being the smartest guy in the room in probably every situation he finds himself in, you'd never feel diminished by him. He is always so thoughtful, and so attentive, and addresses all aspects of his patients' well-being. I feel so fortunate to be in his care.
