Patient Experience
Honestly, I was terrified. My first surgery ever, and for something so serious. When I met Dr. Fysal, my hands were shaking. He didn't rush. He drew a simple diagram on a notepad to show me exactly what was going on and what he would do. He asked if I had questions, and actually waited for me to think of them. The day of the procedure, he gave me a quick nod before they put me under, and that small gesture meant everything. The nurses said I kept asking for him post-op, which is probably true. I felt safe.
Severe abdominal pain led me to Medanta. Saw Dr. Fysal Valappil. Diagnosis was quick and clear: needed surgery. He explained the procedure, the risks, the recovery timeline. No sugar-coating. Surgery went as planned. Incision is healing well. Follow-up was efficient. Staff was competent. Pain is gone. Good result.
I'm not one to speak much, especially to doctors. But Dr. Fysal has a quiet way about him that puts you at ease. He listened more than he talked during our consultations. I was worried about the recovery, being a burden at home, but he arranged for the physiotherapist to see me early and spoke to my daughter about what to expect. The care felt thoughtful, not just clinical. My recovery has been smooth, and for that I am deeply grateful.
What a relief! After months of feeling awful and getting nowhere, my GP sent me to Dr. Fysal. FINALLY, someone who knew what it was! He had this calm confidence when he laid out the plan. The surgery itself—I was up and walking the next day, which blew my mind. The parking at Medanta was a nightmare the day I was discharged, but I didn't even care! I just kept telling my husband, 'He fixed it. He actually fixed it.' I have my energy back. It's fantastic.
