Dr. Priya Tiwari

Our 7-year-old daughter was terrified of hospitals after her leukemia diagnosis. Dr. Priya transformed her experience completely - she wears colorful sarees with cartoon characters, keeps stuffed animals in her office, and explains procedures using puppet shows. She noticed our daughter loved space, so she called chemotherapy 'astronaut medicine' and made her a 'bravery certificate' after each treatment. We've never seen a doctor connect with a child like this.

Rushed to Artemis at 2 AM with acute lymphoma complications, I was preparing for the worst. Dr. Tiwari arrived within 20 minutes, still in her casual clothes, and immediately coordinated with three specialists. What amazed me was how she calmly explained the emergency surgery while simultaneously comforting my panicked wife. Her hands were steady during the procedure, but her voice was even steadier when she told us 'We have this under control.'

Coming for my annual checkup after breast cancer remission, I expected the usual quick visit. Instead, Dr. Tiwari spent 45 minutes reviewing new research on recurrence prevention specific to my genetic profile. She noticed subtle changes in my blood work that others might miss and adjusted my monitoring schedule accordingly. She doesn't just treat disease - she treats the entire journey.

My pancreatic cancer surgery was incredibly complex, but Dr. Tiwari's team performed what others called impossible. What stood out was her post-operative care - she visited my ICU bed every two hours for the first 24 hours, once at 3 AM just to adjust my pain medication personally. The nurses told me she does this for all her major surgery patients.

As an 82-year-old with metastatic lung cancer, I'd lost hope until meeting Dr. Tiwari. She didn't just discuss treatment; she sat with me for an hour explaining how immunotherapy could work with my specific biomarkers. When I expressed fear about side effects, she created a personalized symptom management plan that my granddaughter could help implement. Six months later, my tumors have shrunk by 40% - but more importantly, she remembers my late wife's name and asks about my garden every visit.
