A senior physician overseeing care for vulnerable kidney patients in New York City has spent years using a pseudonymous social media account to spew anti-Israel conspiracy theories, racial slurs, and obscene attacks on conservatives and Jews.
According to the Washington Free Beacon, Dr. Pravin Bhat, medical director at Atlantic Dialysis Management Services and a nephrologist with longstanding ties to New York Citys public health system, has used his X account, @PravocAuteur, to accuse Israel of orchestrating the 9/11 terrorist attacks and to describe supporters of president Donald Trump as vermin. The account, which had operated openly for years, was locked within minutes of the outlet contacting Bhat for comment, suggesting an awareness that his online conduct could not withstand public scrutiny.
In one post responding to an image of the 9/11 attacks, Bhat wrote, "No we never forget what Israel did," pushing a fringe, antisemitic conspiracy theory that directly contradicts the established facts about al Qaedas responsibility for the attacks. In October 2025, he escalated his rhetoric further, calling Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu "the jewish polish equivalent of hitler," and, just weeks after Hamass Oct. 7, 2023, massacre of more than 1,200 people in Israel, he accused Jews of playing the "victim card."
Bhats online persona has been defined by a mix of vulgarity, racial animus, and contempt for conservatives, often couched in language that would end the career of almost any public figure on the right. He boasted in his profile description of "refer[ing] to MAGA in vermin-like terms," and described himself as "The Nephologist [sic] driving around Brooklyn, Queens and the Bronx," a nod to his work in the citys dialysis clinics.
Despite the bile he directed at others, Bhat made no effort to conceal his identity. He used a photo of himself wearing a New York Knicks cap as his avatar, an image he crudely described as the "face of someone who jizzed on your mom," underscoring the brazen nature of his online conduct.
His attacks frequently targeted black and conservative Republicans, often in explicitly racist and misogynistic terms that would be widely denounced if uttered by anyone on the right. When Rep. Wesley Hunt, a black Republican from Texas, proposed a debate with far-left Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D., Texas) in December 2025, Bhat replied with a popcorn emoji and the comment, "She'll fuck you up Coon."
Female Republican lawmakers and conservative media figures were subjected to similar abuse. When Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R., Fla.) criticized New York City socialist mayor Zohran Mamdani (D.), Bhat responded, "shut up bitch," and when Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R., Tenn.) challenged the mayor, he labeled her a "dishonest bitch," later calling a female Fox News reporter a "bitch" after she highlighted overflowing garbage in midtown Manhattan.
His misogynistic rhetoric escalated further when Rep. Nancy Mace (R., S.C.) criticized Rep. Ilhan Omar (D., Minn.), prompting Bhat to call Mace a "cunt." In May 2026, he directed racial animus at the family of Texas congressman Brandon Gill (R.), telling Gill that his Indian children were "filthy," a remark that also implicitly targeted Gills wife, Danielle DSouza, daughter of Indian-American conservative activist Dinesh DSouza.
Bhats hostility toward Jews and pro-Israel voices was a recurring theme, particularly when they criticized Mamdani or his allies. In March 2026, responding to radio host Sid Rosenberg after Rosenberg posted an unflattering comment about Mamdanis wifewho herself has faced criticism for using the N-wordBhat wrote, "You look like a disease-ridden penis. You've got the personality of a disease-ridden penis too," a remark that combined crude sexual imagery with personal vilification.
In May 2026, when Jewish former business owner and frequent Mamdani critic Sam Antar attacked the mayor, Bhat called him an "aids riddled penis." Later that year, in November 2025, he lashed out at Jewish actor Michael Rapaport after Rapaport said Mamdanis New York City felt unsafe, branding him a "herpes-riddled pussy."
His pattern of abuse extended to conservative men more broadly, whom he often smeared as closeted homosexuals without any evidence. Commentators such as Buck Sexton and online conservative personality Gunther Eagleman were among those he accused, reflecting a willingness to weaponize sexuality as an insult while claiming the mantle of progressive politics.
Bhats contempt for Donald Trump and his supporters was similarly unrestrained. He referred to the president as a "cunt" and "mushroom cock" and accused him of being a "rapist," echoing the lefts most extreme rhetoric while adding his own layer of vulgarity.
The doctors professional background raises additional concerns about accountability and standards within New Yorks medical and political establishment. According to his LinkedIn profile, Bhat has worked for Atlantic Dialysis Medical Services since May 2019, a company co-owned by his father, nephrologist Jodumutt Ganesh Bhat, and fellow nephrologist Nirmal Mattoo.
Bhat is also affiliated with Mattoo & Bhat Medical Associates, P.C., a nephrology practice founded by his father and Mattoo. That practice was implicated in a 2015 Medicare fraud case and forced to pay a $1.15 million fine, according to a Department of Justice press release, raising questions about oversight and ethical culture within the network of businesses tied to the family.
Atlantic Dialysis Management Services itself has been deeply embedded in New York Citys public health infrastructure. In July 2012, the New York City Health and Hospitals Corporation (HHC), which runs the citys public hospitals, announced a nine-year agreement to outsource dialysis services to Atlantic Dialysis at a cost of up to $83 million, according to a city press release.
That arrangement was partially unwound in 2015, in part due to the Medicare fraud scandal involving Mattoo & Bhat. Before joining his fathers company, Bhat had worked directly for HHC as a physician specialist, according to city public records, further underscoring his longstanding ties to the public system.
HHC now insists that neither Bhat nor his company has any current contractual relationship with the citys public hospitals. "NYC Health + Hospitals stands for high-quality care, including for its dialysis patients," a representative for HHC told the Free Beacon. "This company is not a vendor and has no contracts with the City's health care system, and this person is not employed here at NYC Health + Hospitals."
Yet Atlantic Dialysis still operates from within the citys hospital infrastructure. The HHC representative acknowledged that while Atlantic Dialysis no longer holds an active contract, it continues to run a facility inside Elmhurst Hospital, a city medical center that refers its outpatients to Atlantic for dialysis, effectively maintaining a pipeline of public patients to the private provider.
On its own website, Atlantic Dialysis boasts of its longstanding presence at Elmhurst. "This clinic has been a part of the ADMS family since it opened in 2005," the company states, highlighting the durability of its footprint in the citys health-care landscape despite past legal troubles and the current controversy surrounding its medical director.
Public records also show that Atlantic Dialysis Medical Services received up to $1 million in coronavirus pandemic relief loans, meaning taxpayers helped sustain the company even as its senior leadership engaged in online behavior that many would consider incompatible with the dignity and impartiality expected of medical professionals. Bhat himself has not publicly addressed his posts, and both he and Atlantic Dialysis Medical Services did not respond to requests for comment.
The revelations about Bhats conduct raise broader questions about double standards in public life, particularly in a city where conservative speech is often policed aggressively while left-wing extremists with institutional ties face little consequence. A medical director tied to a firm that once held an $83 million city contract, that operates inside a public hospital, and that benefited from federal relief funds has spent years attacking Jews, conservatives, and minorities with language that would end careers if it came from the right, yet the silence from progressive institutions has been deafening.
