Patient Reviews
"Dr. Batti is the kindest, most caring and compassionate doctor I have EVER had the pleasure of meeting. Our 8 month old daughter was in terrible pain from ear infections and 4 courses of antibiotics hadn’t worked. On 6/21, we saw Dr. Batti and he knew we were scheduled to fly on 6/29. Dr. Batti opened his schedule especially for our daughter to have tubes put in at Danbury hospital the following Wednesday, 6/26. We are so grateful for Dr. Batti and his dedication, his staff, the doctors and nurses at Danbury hospital and MOST grateful for our little girl being pain free!"
~H.W.




Loved Dr. James S. Batti, my daughter had her tonsils and adenoids taken out, the procedure was fast and after surgery the nurses were amazing and caring to our needs and concerns.

"Dr. Batti is the best doctor and one of the nicest people I have ever met. When my 6-year old was sick, not only was he able to see him the same day, but he was able to make him smile and also put my fears to rest. The office staff was very professional and gave him plenty of stickers at the end of his visit. I tell all of my friends about Dr. Batti."

"Dr batti is a great doctor. He operate my daughter (ear tubes)and he is still following her in the process .. He is a kind, patient doctor and gives the children confidence to be calm when he examines them." ~ J.M.
"I took my 9-yr-old to Dr. Batti to check for any ENT-related issues that might be causing the behavior of constant throat clearing. Neither of us had been to an ENT specialist before so we did not know what to expect. The exam entailed inserting a thin, flexible, spaghetti-like scope up the nostrils and down into the throat to see if there are any visible abnormalities. I have to commend Dr. Batti for his gentle and friendly manner, which put my kid at ease during a physically uncomfortable and awkward exam. Highly recommend, especially for pediatric care!" ~ K.K.
"Dr Batti, and his staff, are very engaging. They invite questions to be asked and answer them very thoroughly. Dr Batti is a very personable Dr and I would recommend him without a second thought." ~ N.W.
"Dr. Batti was extremely professional. He took the time to answer all questions and concerns. We were nervous about my 6 year olds surgery and Dr. Batti gave us full confidence. We will definitely recommend this office and Dr. Batti to anyone who would need a referral." ~ T.M.
"Dr. Batti has operated on me and 2 of my children. He is extremely professional, knowledgeable and compassionate. He listens to your concerns and is never pushy about medications or procedures. I would highly recommend him to everyone!" ~ R.M.
"My son has been seeing Dr Batti (ENT) for 6/7years now. Everyone at the office have been polite, kind and accommodating. Dr Batti is witty and patient. He performed surgery for our son ( tubes and removal of tonsils) and was very informative and assuring on the procedure and recovery." ~ D.D.
"Dr Batti is the only ENT I ever want my family and me to ever see. He’s the best!" ~ B.B.
"Dear Dr Batti,
Two years ago this October, you saved my life. Nothing I can write could ever thank you enough for what you did, but I do want you to know how you helped. I came into your office, referred by Dr. Ahern, with a sudden swelling of a salivary gland. The standard option to get a better look was an ultrasound, but because of my age and perhaps other factors you thought you might be able to get me a CT scan, which is how we proceeded. The scan confirmed there was nothing special about the salivary gland swelling, but incidentally picked up a lung nodule that "concerned" the radiologist. As you delivered the troubling news and need/process for follow up, you said something to the effect that, 'although it may not seem like it now, it's a blessing in disguise.' And so it was. A biopsy confirmed that it was lung cancer, adenocarcinoma, fortunately very early stage. It was removed by lung segmentectomy surgery in December 2020, no need for chemo or other treatment, just follow up every 3-6 months for five years. I've gone through my first few follow ups and everything seems just fine. Hopefully, this will continue. My next one is in December.
Had you not, in your kindness and diligence, gone the extra mile and gotten me that CT scan, this cancer would still be growing inside me. Most lung cancers aren't caught early enough, and it's a life and death distinction. What can I say other than thank you for saving my life. May blessings be upon you, and on all those who you care for and love, on this Yom Kippur day." ~ Sincerely, M.K.
