Had my gallbladder out at Burjeel. The first couple days were rough, I won't lie. But Dr. Nijhawan and his team had a clear plan for the pain. They checked on me often, adjusted things when needed, and explained what each ache probably was. It wasn't magic, but it was managed. I'm moving around much easier now, just taking it slow.

I was quite nervous before my hernia operation. Dr. Nijhawan has a very calm way about him; he listened to all my worries without making me feel rushed. The hospital itself is huge and a bit overwhelming, but his team made sure I was comfortable. The recovery has been smoother than I expected, and for that, I'm truly grateful. (Patient of Dr. Neil)

After months of stomach issues and seeing a couple other doctors, I finally got in with Dr. Nijhawan. He actually figured it out! Had to have a small procedure. Honestly, just knowing what it was felt like a weight lifted. The staff at Burjeel were great, even if parking is always a mission. I feel like myself again. Huge relief! (Patient of Dr. Neil)
