Patient Experience
Our 16-year-old daughter was diagnosed with thoracic outlet syndrome that affected her swimming career. Dr. Sahu's specialized decompression surgery was so precise that she returned to competition within months and recently won her regional championship.
I traveled from Nepal specifically for Dr. Sahu's expertise with my rare vascular malformation. His team coordinated everything seamlessly, and the embolization procedure eliminated the condition that had plagued me since childhood.
My father's carotid artery was 90% blocked and he was having mini-strokes. Dr. Sahu's carotid stenting procedure was remarkably smooth - no general anesthesia, just local. Dad was alert immediately after and hasn't had a single episode since.
As a professional musician, my hand circulation issues threatened my career. Dr. Sahu diagnosed Raynaud's phenomenon with vascular compression and performed a delicate sympathectomy. I can now play my violin for hours without the painful numbness.
When my wife developed deep vein thrombosis during her pregnancy, we were terrified. Dr. Sahu managed her care with incredible sensitivity to both her condition and the pregnancy. He placed a temporary filter that protected her until delivery, then removed it seamlessly.
My dialysis access had failed multiple times until I was referred to Dr. Sahu. His creation of a new arteriovenous fistula using advanced techniques has worked flawlessly for two years - the longest any access has lasted for me.
As a cancer survivor, the radiation damage to my carotid artery was causing recurrent TIAs. Dr. Sahu performed a complex bypass surgery using tissue from my leg. The procedure was daunting, but his confidence and skill gave me peace throughout.
When traditional treatments failed for my chronic mesenteric ischemia, leaving me unable to eat without pain, Dr. Sahu offered a novel stent grafting approach. I enjoyed my first pain-free meal in years the day after the procedure.
Dr. Gagneja was our saving grace when my 85-year-old mother with complex pediatric-onset cerebral palsy developed pneumonia. His gentle approach with elderly patients who've had lifelong pediatric conditions is remarkable—he coordinated with geriatric specialists while maintaining his pediatric expertise throughout her month-long hospitalization.
Our 3-day-old newborn had a terrifying episode of turning blue during feeding. Dr. Vikram rushed to the NICU at 2 AM, diagnosed a congenital laryngeal web, and performed emergency laser surgery right there. His hands were so steady and his calm demeanor kept us from completely falling apart.
For our daughter's routine 5-year vaccination, Dr. Gagneja noticed subtle asymmetry in her reflexes that everyone else had missed. Further testing revealed early-stage muscular dystrophy. His observational skills gave us a 2-year head start on interventions we didn't even know we needed.
When my son fractured his skull falling from a tree, Dr. Vikram managed the entire trauma protocol while simultaneously comforting my hysterical child with stories about superheroes who also 'got bumps on their heads.' He turned a terrifying ER visit into an adventure.
We consulted 4 pediatricians for our infant's failure to thrive before finding Dr. Gagneja. He spent 45 minutes just observing how I fed her, identified a subtle tongue tie no one else caught, and the revision he performed changed everything. She's now gaining weight perfectly.
During Diwali, my asthmatic daughter had a severe attack from firecracker smoke. Dr. Vikram answered our panicked video call personally, guided us through emergency nebulization steps, and met us at the hospital within 20 minutes despite the festival traffic.
Dr. Gagneja managed our premature twins' complex NICU course for 3 months. His daily handwritten notes about their progress, complete with little growth charts and encouraging messages, became our most treasured possessions during that difficult time.
For our teenager with rare autoimmune encephalitis, Dr. Vikram coordinated with neurologists, rheumatologists, and psychiatrists across three hospitals. His holistic approach treated our child as a person, not just a collection of symptoms.
My child hates doctors but loves Dr. Gagneja's 'magic stethoscope' that 'talks to teddy bears.' He performs entire examinations through puppet play—we've never gotten through a checkup without tears until now.
When international borders closed during COVID, Dr. Vikram managed video consultations for our adopted daughter in Ukraine, guiding local doctors through her complex congenital heart condition until we could bring her home 6 months later.
After our son's appendectomy, Dr. Gagneja personally called every evening for a week to check on his recovery. His post-operative care exceeded anything we've experienced with any other medical professional.
Dental implant procedure: from bone grafting to final crown, Dr. Kaur’s precision was impressive. The implant looks and feels completely natural, and the entire process was surprisingly smooth.
