Patient Experience
My mother was admitted with a bad fever and confusion. We were really scared. Dr. Thandava was the one who saw her. He sat with us in the family room and explained everything in simple words—what he thought it was, what tests he needed, and what the plan would be. He didn't rush us. He answered every single one of our questions, even the silly ones. Because of his clear way of talking, we felt calm and knew she was in good hands. Her recovery was smooth, and we are so grateful for his kindness to our whole family. (Patient of Dr. Thandava)
My husband had persistent stomach pain for weeks. Other places just gave him pills. At Burjeel, Dr. Thandava actually listened. He asked detailed questions, did a thorough physical exam himself, and ordered the right scans. He called me directly with the results, was honest about what it showed, and laid out the treatment options clearly. No medical jargon, just straight talk. The issue was resolved with a simple procedure. We finally have answers, and my husband is pain-free. Dr. Thandava gets straight to the point and gets results. (Patient of Dr. Thandava)
Bringing my young son to any hospital fills me with dread. He was very ill, and I was a nervous wreck. Dr. Thandava has such a gentle manner. He spoke softly, not just to me, but directly to my son, making him feel less afraid. He took his time, never made us feel like a number. He explained my son's condition with such care and made sure I understood every step of the care plan before we left. The whole experience, because of him, was far less frightening than I'd imagined. A truly compassionate doctor. (Patient of Dr. Thandava)
After months of feeling run-down and getting nowhere with other doctors, I saw Dr. Thandava. What a difference! He actually pieced together symptoms I thought were unrelated. He was so thorough and positive. When he figured it out—it was a vitamin deficiency that was easily fixed—I wanted to hug him! I have my energy back. I'm telling all my friends about him. If you need someone who will dig for an answer and not give up, he's your doctor. I'm just so relieved! (Patient of Dr. Thandava)
