CHRISTUS Trinity Clinic (CTC) announced July 19 that Pranav Bhatt, MD, MPH is being recognized this month as one of the 2022 Texas Super Doctors Rising Stars, a prestigious list published annually by Texas Monthly magazine. This is Dr. Bhatt’s second consecutive year to be selected for this distinguished honor and the eleventh year the award-winning magazine has put the spotlight on Texas physicians who are going above and beyond in their careers after being fully licensed and in practice for ten years or less. Only 2.5% of all physicians with those criteria in Texas make the yearly Rising Stars list.
Bhatt is a family medicine physician providing primary care services to Southeast Texans at CHRISTUS Trinity Clinic. Bhatt attended medical school in India before completing his residency in family medicine in Toledo, Ohio. He joined the CHRISTUS Health family in 2017.
“It’s truly humbling to be chosen not just once, but twice, to be highlighted among this distinguished group of Rising Stars physicians,” said Bhatt. “It is and has always been my mission to provide compassionate and excellent care to all my patients. I am also honored that my fellow physicians recognize that and have confidence in me to continue living that mission.”
The yearly selection for Rising Stars is a rigorous, multi-step process that aims to identify health care providers who have attained a high degree of peer recognition and professional achievement. Doctors are encouraged to nominate fellow physicians. They are asked the following question: “If you needed medical care in one of the following specialties, which doctor would you choose?” Each candidate’s credentials are then verified before nominees are reviewed by what’s called the “blue ribbon panel.” From there, final selections are determined by the highest-scoring physicians.
“We are so incredibly proud of Dr. Bhatt, who is more than deserving of this distinct honor that puts him among the top young physicians in all of the Lone Star State,” said Kelly Cady, CHRISTUS Trinity Clinic Vice President of Physician Practice Operations in Southeast Texas. “Dr. Bhatt is a living example of what we as the CHRISTUS Trinity Clinic strive to recruit and embed in the communities we serve. We are committed to continuing providing top-level care to the people of Southeast Texas.”
