Drupad Bhatt Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
Dr. Bhatt is survived by his wife, Raksha Bhatt, his children: Rutvij Bhatt; Ravij Bhatt and his wife Orishtha Ray; Jaya Bhatt-Brooks, her husband Matthew Brooks, and their son, Shail Brooks; his brother Rahul Bhatt and his sister, Ushma Desai and their respective families. Dr Bhatt's departure leaves an unfillable void in their lives, yet they find comfort in the memories and love they shared.
Dr. Bhatt lived the American dream to its fullest. After completing his Otolaryngology residency at M.P. Shah Government Medical College in Jamnagar, Gujarat, he immigrated to New York City where he completed a second Otolaryngology residency at Downstate Medical College where he was also the Chief Resident in his final two years. He moved to the Poconos in 1987 in order to set up his practice and build a promising future for his family. Dr. Bhatt remained dedicated to the Pocono community throughout his career. He served as Chief of Surgery at Pocono Medical Center for a decade and continually advocated for exemplary patient care. Dr. Bhatt was also a celebrated sportsman, a national award-winning cricketer in his native India and a competitive golfer, winning two club championships at Shawnee Country Club.
Dr. Bhatt was a passionate advocate for education and believed it was important for everyone to pursue a higher education. In lieu of flowers and gifts, please consider donating to the Strengthen our Student Assistance Fund for students at Geisinger College of Health Sciences: bit.ly/DrDruBhatt
Services will be held at Clark Funeral Home in Stroudsburg, PA on Thursday, October 24th, from 10am - 12pm. Please refrain from wearing black as it's considered inauspicious in Hinduism.

When I first joined Shawnee Golf Club, he welcomed me by saying, with humor, "lefties are the best." Indeed a great loss to the Stroudsburg community and beyond. Condolences to his beloved family. Doug McArthur

So sad to hear of Dr Bhatts passing. He was my ENT dr for many years and the only dr to have helped the issues for me. I always enjoyed talking about eachothers vacation plans. I had a follow up appointment with him in a few weeks. He will be missed. RIP Dr. Bhatt

Dr. Bhatt performed surgery for my grandson's tubes 23 years ago. I have been pleased and honored to have him as my doctor for Meniers more recently. He was always kind, pleasant and caring. He will indeed be so very missed by anyone who has been a patient in his care or have known him beyond his practice.
Sincerest condolences to the family, loved ones and friends.
