Patient Experience
My headaches were getting worse, and no one could figure out why. After a few scans, another doctor said it was probably just stress. Dr. Banerjee looked at the same images and saw something else—a tiny, tricky aneurysm hiding where it shouldn't have been. He explained it to me with a whiteboard, drawing it out so I actually understood. The surgery was scary to think about, but he was so clear about the plan. I'm back to work now, headache-free. He caught what others missed.
I needed a discectomy, which I was told is pretty standard. Still, I was nervous at first. Dr. Banerjee's team had me in and out smoothly. The whole thing felt very coordinated. I was home the next day, and the recovery has been exactly what he said it would be—straightforward. No drama, just good care.
Let's be honest, Medanta is a huge place. I got lost twice trying to find the neuro wing, and the parking was a mission. But once I checked in, the staff at the neurosurgery desk were really kind. They could see I was anxious and kept checking on me. Even the nurse who took my vitals had a calming way about her. It made a difficult day much easier to handle.
What I'll remember most is how Dr. Banerjee talked to my family. My wife was a wreck before my spinal surgery. He didn't just give her a pat on the back; he sat down, looked her in the eye, and answered every single one of her 'what if' questions without making her feel rushed. He has a quiet, direct way of speaking that cuts through the panic. That meant as much as the surgery itself.
