Asha Bhatt, MD

Dr. Asha Bhatt is a board-certified, subspecialty-trained breast radiologist. She received her MD degree at the State University of New York in Syracuse, NY. She completed her diagnostic radiology residency at Rochester General Hospital and then went on to complete her Women’s Imaging Fellowship at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN. Dr. Bhatt joins us from the Mayo Clinic, where she was appointed as an Assistant Professor and Consultant in the Division of Breast Imaging and Intervention, Department of Radiology.

Her clinical practice involves interpreting mammograms, breast ultrasounds, breast MRIs, and performing multimodality image-guided breast procedures. She is dedicated to resident/fellow education and has been the recipient of teaching awards.
