Dr. Nitin Kumar Rajput

My dad's bypass was a huge scare for all of us. Dr. Rajput was the one who actually sat us down in a quiet room, drew a simple diagram on a notepad, and explained exactly what was happening and what he was going to do. He didn't sugarcoat it, but he made us feel like we were part of the plan. The nurses told us he called twice after the surgery, late at night, just to check on dad's numbers. That meant more than any fancy brochure.

I've been seeing Dr. Rajput for my heart valve for over eight years now. You build a history with a doctor like that. He remembers the little things—asks about my walking routine, knows which meds I didn't tolerate well years ago. When my echo showed a slight change last month, he didn't jump to procedures. He said, 'Let's watch this together for three months and see.' That kind of calm, long-term thinking is why I trust him. He's not just fixing a problem; he's managing my life.

Needed a stent. Dr. Rajput did it. Explained things clearly, no fluff. Procedure was smooth, recovery was what they said it would be. Parking at Medanta is always a nightmare, but that's not his fault. Good doctor.

It started with just feeling worn out all the time. My local doc in Dehradun said it was probably stress, but the numbers weren't right. We came to Medanta and got shuffled around a bit until we landed in Dr. Rajput's clinic. He listened for maybe two minutes, then leaned back and said, 'This sounds like a tired valve.' He was so sure. The tests proved him right. The day of the surgery, I was a nervous wreck in the pre-op room. He came in, patted my shoulder, and just said, 'We're ready for you. See you on the other side.' It was simple, but it cut through the panic. Six months later, I'm planting trees in my garden again. Every time I feel that little scar, I remember how he turned a vague feeling of exhaustion back into a real life.
