Brought my 7-year-old for recurrent abdominal pain that other doctors dismissed as 'growth pains.' Dr. Nathan actually knelt down to eye level with my son, used cartoon analogies to explain the digestive system, and discovered lactose intolerance through a simple breath test. Life-changing diagnosis!
Emergency admission at 2 AM with bleeding ulcers, Dr. Nathan rushed to the hospital in casual clothes, clearly from home. His calm demeanor during the emergency endoscopy stopped the bleeding instantly. The way he reassured my terrified wife in the waiting room was beyond professional.
Routine colonoscopy screening at 50, was dreading the prep, but Dr. Nathan's team provided customized instructions with timing charts and even called to check if I was tolerating the solution. The procedure itself was painless, and he found/prevented a potentially dangerous polyp.
Complex Whipple procedure for pancreatic head tumor, Dr. Nathan spent 45 minutes with our family drawing diagrams of the surgery, discussing risks in plain language, and never rushed our questions. The 9-hour surgery was successful, and his post-op visits at 6 AM showed incredible dedication.
My 82-year-old father was struggling with severe dysphagia and weight loss. Dr. Senthil Nathan performed an endoscopic dilation with such precision and care, he explained every step to us in Tamil, which put our whole family at ease. Dad is now eating solid foods again and gained 3kg in a month!
