Patient Experience
My mother was admitted with severe abdominal pain. We were all very scared. Dr. Arvind Maharaj took the time to explain everything to us in simple terms, not just the medical terms. He called me directly after her scans came in, even though it was late. He made sure we understood each step. The hospital is busy, and we had to wait a bit for some paperwork, but the doctor's clear communication made the whole situation less frightening. My mom is home and recovering well now.
My husband needed surgery. Dr. Maharaj was direct and honest from the start. He laid out the options, the risks, and what recovery would look like, no sugar-coating. I appreciated that. He answered every one of my questions without making me feel rushed. The care was solid, and my husband is back on his feet. It was a stressful time, but having a doctor who communicates so clearly made a huge difference.
We brought my father to Gleneagles from out of town. I was quiet, just observing. Dr. Arvind Maharaj has a very calm way about him. He spoke softly but with such assurance. When he explained the treatment plan, he looked at my father, not just the chart. He remembered small details about our family's concerns from the previous day. That personal touch, in the middle of a big hospital, meant more than I can say. The care was very good.
What a relief! My sister had been feeling unwell for months, seeing different doctors. Dr. Maharaj actually listened—really listened—to everything she said. He connected dots others missed. He was so thorough and had this great energy that made us feel hopeful for the first time in ages. Parking at the hospital was a nightmare that day, but honestly, after our consultation, we didn't even care. He figured it out, and she's finally getting the right treatment. We're so grateful!
