Dr. Mitul Amin joined TNMC in 1984, where he completed his MBBS and MD in Pathology. In the United States, he completed a pathology residency at Henry Ford Hospital, followed by a fellowship in Surgical Pathology at MD Anderson Cancer Center.

He has been working as a pathologist in the Detroit area for the last 26 years. His past accomplishments include being a teacher and mentor for medical students and residents, publishing a few academic papers and holding leadership roles.

Yogesh Bakhai graduated from TNMC, Bombay University in 1979 and completed his MD and DPM in Psychiatry at Nair Hospital. He is Associate Professor of Psychiatry and Vice Chair for Clinical Services at the State University of New York at Buffalo.

Dr. Jyoti Bhatia completed medical school at TNMC, Mumbai, followed by fellowship training, and is board certified in gastroenterology. She completed her residency, chief residency and fellowship training at Lenox Hill Hospital in New York in 2004.

Dr. Bhatia serves as the Chief of Gastroenterology at Capital Health, Pennington, New Jersey. As an active member of the Capital Health Medical Staff since 2004, she mentors medical residents and serves on the Professional Practice Committee.

Dr. Bhatt’s passion for medical care started more than 8,000 miles from California, in Mumbai, India. It was there she grew up watching her parents — dad in pharmaceutical management and mom a pioneering educator — dedicate their work to medicine and helping others.

It was soon after she was off to medical school in Bombay for her undergraduate, and eventually to the U.S., where she completed her residency at Tufts. She then started as an Attending Hospitalist Physician at Middlesex Hospital. She and her family moved to California in 2008, where she later joined Regional Medical Center, and then Good Sam in 2016. Today, she’s been a hospitalist for nearly 20 years.

“I’m responsible for a variety of work, including drawing up a treatment plan, creating a patient’s overall care plan, and all the way to admission and discharge,” Dr. Bhatt said. “We may intervene, but we are essentially on call for a patient’s immediate needs.”

Through this broad yet vital lens, Dr. Bhatt and hospitalists like her are able to help deliver quality outcomes for patients while helping reduce the average length of stay and total hospital costs. It’s a win-win, and that’s something she’s interested in staying around for.

“Good Samaritan has camaraderie, mutual respect, and support,” she said. “I continue to look forward to building towards our common goal of better patient care.”

When she’s not actively doing that, you can find her in Cupertino, where she lives with her husband and two teenage children. You may even see her doing one of her many hobbies, including writing poems and choreographing dances for events.
