Patient Experience
Our 8-year-old, Aarav, was born with a complex heart condition. We'd seen a few doctors, but the answers were always vague and scary. From our first meeting, Dr. Upadhyay was different. He got down on his level, showed us the scans, and explained everything in a way we could finally understand. He never rushed us. The day of the surgery was the longest of our lives—the waiting room was stuffy and we must have drunk a gallon of bad coffee. But when he came out, tired but smiling, to say it went well, I just broke down. Seeing Aarav's color come back, bit by bit, in the days after... that was Dr. Upadhyay's work. The nurses were great, but he was the one who gave us our son back.
Severe aortic stenosis. Needed a valve replacement. I did my research and chose Dr. Indivar Upadhyay at Medanta. Consultation was clear: he outlined the procedure, the risks, the recovery. No sugar-coating. Surgery happened on schedule. Team was efficient. Hospital stay was standard—food was okay, parking is always a hassle there. Follow-up appointments have been straightforward. He answers questions directly. I'm recovering as expected. Good result.
I was so frightened when they told me I needed bypass surgery. My hands wouldn't stop shaking. Dr. Upadhyay has such a calm way about him. He listened to all my worries, even the silly ones about the stitches and the noise of the machines. He just nodded and said, 'We will take good care of you.' And they did. The room was quiet, and the night nurse was very kind. I'm home now, taking things slow. My chest is sore, of course, but every day is a little better. I just feel very grateful to him and his team for their kindness.
Wow, what a difference! I'd been putting off dealing with my mitral valve for years—just living with the shortness of breath and fatigue. Finally saw Dr. Upadhyay and he was like, 'Let's fix this.' The whole process at Medanta was so organized. The man knows his stuff! I was up and walking the next day, and the energy I have now is incredible. It's like someone switched a light back on. My wife says I'm a new man. Seriously, if you need heart surgery, this is your guy. Best decision I ever made.
