Dr. Pankaj Bajpai

My local doctors were stumped for months. I kept getting these strange episodes of dizziness and chest pressure, but all the usual tests came back clear. Dr. Bajpai was the first one who really listened. He ordered a specific, less common scan at Medanta and found a small vascular issue near my heart that everyone else had missed. Explaining it, he drew me a simple diagram on his notepad. It wasn't a quick fix, but finally having a real answer and a plan made all the difference.

I needed a cardiac catheterization, which honestly scared me. The day of the procedure, the parking garage was completely full, so I was a bit flustered walking in. But from there, everything just... worked. The team in the cath lab knew exactly what they were doing. Dr. Bajpai talked me through each step as it happened. Before I knew it, he was showing me the images saying everything looked great. I was home the next day, and the whole thing felt surprisingly straightforward.

You spend a lot of time waiting in hospitals, so the environment matters. Medanta felt calm, even when it was busy. The nurses at the cardiology desk were genuinely kind—one even helped my wife find a decent cup of coffee when I was in for my tests. It's not just about the doctor; it's about not feeling like a number. That place runs smoothly, and it takes the edge off when you're worried.

What I remember most is how Dr. Bajpai talked to my family. After my bypass surgery, he came to the waiting room, sat down with them, and explained everything in plain Hindi, no medical jargon. He asked if they had eaten. When he checked on me, he’d often start by asking about my grandkids, not just my vitals. That human touch, him seeing you as a person, it helped me heal faster than any medicine could.
