• He was very patient and explained everything going on with my son. And then he also went the next level and talked about depression and athletes and how it was so important to keep to stay in the game and stay motivated and that you will come back even stronger. I was very impressed with him bringing up mental health as part for an athlete because it's so important in today's times. He was an excellent provider.

  2026-04-06

• Dr. Babu has been absolutely wonderful to work with through a complex injury or series of injuries that we have struggled to find the source on. He's worked very, very hard with me to try and do this and although we haven't found the source yet, we have a plan in place to continue searching for it. Dr. Babu may be the best provider I've ever seen in my life. He is wonderful and I am deeply appreciative of his time.

• Dr. Babu is a gem. He is generous with his time and is an excellent listener. He is always well prepared for my visits and thoughtful about options for consideration in my treatment plan. He has an excellent staff supporting his clinic. Would highly recommend him to anyone seeking physical medicine/rehabilitation assistance.

  2026-03-20

• I've had several good experiences with Dr. BAbu. He is an excellent physiatrist. He has treated me for a recurring injury on about four occasions, and I trust both his treatments and his judgment 100%. He understands what the outcome goal is and how I plan to utilize his treatments to improve my athletic performance. And I think he's an athlete himself. So I have very good connection with him. I think he's one of the best in Boston and would not hesitate to recommend him to any of my friends as well as use him should I ever need his services. I hope this is helpful and thank you. Bye.

• Dr. Babu is probably the best experience I have ever had with a specialist. He listens, he takes the time with you you need, he answers all your questions, he is kind. There may be some follow-up and I am thinking on it (which he encouraged) but I would welcome any future interaction with him. Such a pleasant change from so many of the experiences I have had.

  2026-02-24

• I have seen Dr. Babu a number of times and have always had an excellent experience. I feel that he takes time to understand exactly what's bothering me and he is cautious with treatment and careful. I should say careful, not cautious, but I feel that he is conservative in not doing anything overly dramatic and going over everything with me. I feel part of the solution and I think he's a great doctor.
