Patient Experience
At 82, I was terrified when my kidneys started failing. Dr. Jayanivash didn't just treat my numbers, he sat with my family for an hour explaining how we could manage this together. His gentle approach with elderly patients is remarkable. Three months later, I'm gardening again thanks to his personalized treatment plan.
Our 7-year-old daughter was diagnosed with nephrotic syndrome and we were panicked. Dr. Jayanivash knelt down to her eye level, showed her cartoon diagrams of kidneys, and made her laugh. He transformed a scary hospital visit into an adventure. She now calls him 'the kidney superhero'.
Rushed to SIMS Hospital at 2 AM with acute kidney injury from sepsis. Dr. Jayanivash arrived within 20 minutes, calm amid our chaos. His decisive action with emergency dialysis saved my life. The way he coordinated with ICU staff showed true mastery under pressure.
After my kidney transplant, Dr. Jayanivash's follow-up care has been extraordinary. He answers my late-night texts personally, adjusted my immunosuppressants based on subtle symptoms I mentioned, and even remembered my anniversary when scheduling appointments. This isn't just medicine, it's artistry.
As a software engineer, I appreciate data-driven care. Dr. Jayanivash created a custom dashboard tracking my creatinine levels, blood pressure trends, and medication responses. He explains renal function using tech analogies that actually make sense. Finally, a doctor who speaks my language!
Watching Dr. Jayanivash perform my father's complex nephrectomy was awe-inspiring. He used some innovative minimally invasive technique he'd perfected, explained each step to us in real-time, and the recovery was twice as fast as predicted. The surgical precision was like watching a master craftsman.
I came in for what I thought was a routine checkup, but Dr. Jayanivash spotted early signs of renal artery stenosis that others had missed for years. His diagnostic intuition is uncanny, he sees patterns in bloodwork that others overlook. Probably saved me from future heart complications.
My husband has diabetic nephropathy and depression. Dr. Jayanivash noticed his withdrawn demeanor and spent extra time discussing mental health resources. He coordinated with our endocrinologist and therapist in a way no other specialist had bothered to do. Holistic care at its finest.
As a medical student rotating through nephrology, I asked Dr. Jayanivash endless questions. Instead of brushing me off, he drew detailed diagrams, shared research papers, and even let me observe a rare amyloidosis case. He's training the next generation with incredible patience.
Flying back from Dubai specifically to see Dr. Jayanivash for my polycystic kidney disease. His innovative drainage technique for cyst discomfort changed my quality of life dramatically. Worth every mile traveled, he's decades ahead of international standards.
During my peritoneal dialysis training, Dr. Jayanivash and his nurse spent three hours with me until I felt confident. He invented memory tricks to remember the steps and called me the next day to check. Turns a terrifying procedure into something manageable.
My mother with dementia kept refusing treatment until Dr. Jayanivash started speaking in her native Tamil dialect and showing her old photographs. His cultural sensitivity and creativity in communication broke through where others failed. Medicine needs more like him.
After a botched procedure elsewhere left me with renal complications, I came to Dr. Jayanivash skeptical of doctors. His transparent discussion of what went wrong, meticulous correction of the issues, and humble approach restored my faith in medical professionals.
