Patient Experience
As a 72-year-old retired botanist with a rare ureteral stricture from childhood radiation therapy, I'd been turned away by three surgeons who deemed my case too complex. Dr. Pradhan not only developed an innovative robotic approach that preserved my kidney function, but personally taught my grandchildren about flowers through video calls during my recovery.
Our 8-year-old daughter, a nationally ranked swimmer, developed recurrent UTIs that threatened her athletic dreams. Dr. Pradhan discovered an anatomical anomaly missed by previous doctors and performed a minimally invasive correction. She's now back in the pool and recently won her first regional championship.
I'm a 45-year-old truck driver who ignored prostate symptoms until I collapsed at a highway rest stop. Dr. Pradhan's team performed emergency surgery for acute urinary retention at 2 AM. His follow-up care included coordinating with my transport company to adjust my routes during recovery.
My husband, a 68-year-old classical musician, needed bladder cancer surgery but feared losing his ability to play the sitar. Dr. Pradhan worked with the anesthesia team to develop a nerve-sparing technique that preserved his fine motor skills. He performed at our anniversary party just six weeks later.
As parents of a nonverbal autistic teenager with kidney stones, we struggled to communicate his pain. Dr. Pradhan spent hours learning our son's communication methods and designed a silent signal system for post-operative care. His empathy transformed a traumatic experience into one of understanding.
I'm a 31-year-old professional photographer who developed a complex fistula after childbirth. Dr. Pradhan not only repaired it with groundbreaking tissue engineering but documented the procedure with medical photography that's now being used in international urology conferences.
Our 82-year-old grandmother, a former freedom fighter, refused treatment for her enlarged prostate until Dr. Pradhan connected with her through stories of Odisha's history. His cultural sensitivity convinced her to undergo laser surgery, and she now leads her village's health awareness group.
As a 55-year-old marine engineer working on offshore rigs, my kidney stone attacks left me stranded at sea. Dr. Pradhan coordinated with telemedicine services to manage my pain remotely and scheduled my lithotripsy during my shore leave, perfectly timing my recovery with my work rotation.
My 19-year-old son, a computer science student, developed testicular cancer during his final exams. Dr. Pradhan arranged treatment around his academic schedule and even helped him develop a health monitoring app as part of his recovery project, which has since received startup funding.
I'm a 63-year-old yoga instructor with stress incontinence that limited my teaching. Dr. Pradhan combined surgical intervention with personalized pelvic floor exercises inspired by yoga poses. I've now developed a specialized program for post-urological surgery recovery.
Our 6-month-old twins were born with congenital urinary abnormalities requiring sequential surgeries. Dr. Pradhan coordinated both procedures to minimize hospital stays and created a sibling care plan that allowed us to manage both recoveries simultaneously while maintaining breastfeeding.
As a 40-year-old ******* man undergoing transition, I needed specialized urological care that respected my identity. Dr. Pradhan not only provided expert surgical care but trained his entire staff on gender-affirming practices, creating a safe environment that went beyond medical treatment.
I'm a 57-year-old tribal artisan whose kidney failure was complicated by rare herbal medicines I'd taken for years. Dr. Pradhan collaborated with traditional healers to understand interactions and developed a treatment plan that respected both modern medicine and cultural practices.
My 75-year-old mother, a dementia patient with recurrent UTIs, would become agitated during treatments. Dr. Pradhan learned her favorite Odissi songs and would sing them during procedures, creating a calming environment that eliminated the need for sedation.
