Meet the Sports Medicine Doctor
in NJ Behind YAVI Health
Getting orthopedic care in New Jersey too often means a three-week wait, a crowded waiting room, and a new face at every visit. YAVI Health was built on a different belief: an active adult dealing with a sore knee or a stubborn shoulder deserves unhurried time with the same physician each visit. This page introduces the practice, the membership behind it, and Dr. Priyal Bhagat, the sports medicine doctor that NJ adults reach directly, without insurance standing in the way.
Better access. Better care. No insurance required.
WHY WE EXIST
Why YAVI Health Exists
Most orthopedic visits run on the clock, not on the patient. You wait weeks for an opening, get a few rushed minutes, and leave with more questions than answers.
Dr. Bhagat started YAVI Health to change that. Here you have direct access to a physician who knows your history, returns your calls, and takes the time to find what is keeping you from staying active. The same physician who treats your shoulder today is the one guiding your recovery next month.

THE PHYSICIAN
Meet Dr. Priyal Bhagat
Dr. Bhagat treats the whole person, not just the injury. That instinct comes from his training as an osteopathic physician, and it shapes every appointment at YAVI Health. He is board-certified in Primary Care Sports Medicine and Internal Medicine, and he earned his Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine, cum laude, from Touro College of Osteopathic Medicine.
He completed his clinical training at Kings County Hospital and SUNY Downstate Medical Center, followed by a fellowship in Primary Care Sports Medicine. He has also spent a year as a team physician for collegiate athletes, mentored medical students and physicians-in-training, and contributed to academic teaching and medical training.

THE APPROACH
A Whole-Person, Non-Surgical Approach
YAVI Health is a non-surgical orthopedic and sports medicine practice built to resolve problems at their source before anyone reaches for the operating room. Dr. Bhagat uses diagnostic musculoskeletal ultrasound to see what is happening inside a joint or tendon in real time, then treats it with precision.
That toolkit includes ultrasound-guided joint and soft-tissue injections, as well as regenerative options such as platelet-rich plasma. For active adults, from a runner managing hip pain to a professional with a worn shoulder, this approach keeps surgery as a last resort rather than a first step.

Frequently Asked Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a DO, and is an osteopathic physician the same as an MD?
A DO is a Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine, a fully licensed physician with the same training requirements, rights, and scope of practice as an MD, including diagnosing conditions, prescribing medication, and performing procedures. The difference is emphasis. Osteopathic training emphasizes how muscles, joints, and movement work together, which aligns naturally with orthopedic and sports medicine care.
Is Dr. Bhagat a sports medicine specialist or a primary care doctor?
He is a specialist in non-surgical orthopedics and sports medicine. “Primary Care Sports Medicine” is the name of his board-certified subspecialty, the non-surgical track within sports medicine, rather than a general primary care role. At YAVI Health, his focus is on musculoskeletal, orthopedic, and sports medicine care.
What is direct specialty care, and do I need a referral to see Dr. Bhagat?
Direct specialty care is a model in which you work with a specialist directly through a membership, bypassing insurance approvals and referrals. You do not need a referral to join YAVI Health. As a member, you reach Dr. Bhagat directly and book time with him.
Does Dr. Bhagat help with long-standing pain as well as recent injuries?
Yes. His training covers both sudden injuries, such as sprains or strains, and long-standing problems, such as nagging joint or tendon pain that has not resolved. In both cases, the aim is to identify the underlying cause rather than treat only the symptom.
Is YAVI Health part of a hospital system or a larger practice group?
No. YAVI Health is an independent practice founded and led by Dr. Bhagat. That independence is what makes the direct, membership-based model possible, since care is organized around the physician and the patient rather than the schedules and billing rules of a large group.
