Services Offered

Dr. Bhatt offers a comprehensive range of general and advanced radiation oncology services through University Hospitals Medical Group Inc. in Marquette, Michigan, providing patients across the Upper Peninsula of Michigan with access to highly specialized, fellowship-trained radiation therapy expertise that encompasses some of the most advanced treatment modalities available in modern cancer care.

At the forefront of Dr. Bhatt’s clinical capabilities is his specialized expertise in proton therapy — an advanced form of radiation treatment that delivers precise, high-dose radiation directly to tumor tissue while minimizing exposure to surrounding healthy structures. His fellowship training in Proton Therapy at Massachusetts General Hospital, widely regarded as one of the world’s leading centers for proton beam research and clinical application, gives him a level of expertise in this technology that is rare among radiation oncologists and particularly valuable for patients with tumors in or near critical structures such as the brain, spinal cord, or major organs where conventional radiation carries higher risks of collateral damage.

For the broad range of patients undergoing standard radiation therapy, Dr. Bhatt delivers evidence-based treatment using the full spectrum of contemporary external beam radiation techniques, including IMRT, SBRT, IGRT, and SRS — each of which offers distinct advantages in terms of treatment precision, dose delivery, and normal tissue protection. These technologies allow Dr. Bhatt to customize radiation treatment plans to the specific characteristics of each patient’s tumor, anatomy, and clinical situation, optimizing both tumor control and quality of life during and after treatment.

Dr. Bhatt also provides palliative radiation therapy services for patients with advanced or metastatic cancer, using targeted radiation to relieve pain, reduce tumor burden, and improve functional quality of life even when curative intent is not achievable. His participation in multidisciplinary tumor board discussions and his ability to coordinate care with surgical oncologists, medical oncologists, and other specialists ensures that radiation therapy is seamlessly integrated into each patient’s broader cancer treatment strategy.

His affiliation with University Hospitals Cleveland Medical Center — a nationally ranked cancer center recognized as High Performing across multiple cancer care categories — further strengthens the depth and breadth of specialist resources and collaborative oncology expertise available to support his patients’ care.
