Patient Experience
The week after my surgery was rough, I won't lie. But Dr. Khandelwal's team at Medanta had a clear plan for everything. They explained what each pain med was for and when to expect things to ease up. It wasn't just 'take these pills,' it was a roadmap that actually helped me get through it. I felt prepared, not just cut open and sent home.
I've been under Dr. Khandelwal's care for three years now. What stands out is that she remembers. She remembers my last scan results, my family history, even small things I mentioned in passing. That consistency builds a real trust. You don't feel like you're starting from zero at every appointment, which is huge when you're dealing with something long-term. Her approach is steady, and in oncology, that steadiness matters more than dramatic gestures.
Look, I was scared. Cancer is a scary word. Dr. Khandelwal didn't sugarcoat anything, which I actually appreciated. She laid out the options at Medanta, told me what she recommended and why, in plain language. The surgery went well, follow-up was clear. Parking at the hospital is always a nightmare, but that's not on her. She did her job, and she did it well.
My diagnosis felt like the floor dropped out. At my first appointment, I was a bundle of nerves, fumbling with my papers. Dr. Khandelwal just quietly pushed a box of tissues toward me and waited. That small act told me everything. She walked me through the treatment plan step-by-step, drawing little diagrams on her notepad. There was one day the wait was longer than usual—she apologized sincerely, explaining an emergency case had come in. It showed she values everyone's time. The care felt thoughtful, human, not just clinical.
