Patient Experience
Our son, Arjun, was just eight when they found the murmur. We were terrified. The whole place is so big, it was overwhelming. Dr. Mittal was different. He got down on his knee to talk to Arjun about cricket before he even looked at us. He explained the valve issue to us in our language, Hindi mostly, drawing pictures. He never rushed us, even when I asked the same question three times. The surgery day was the longest of our lives, but he came out himself to tell us it went perfectly. Arjun calls him 'the doctor who fixed my engine'. For us, he gave us our boy back.
Had a heart attack. Ambulance brought me to Medanta. Saw Dr. Mittal. He laid out the facts: blocked artery, needed a stent, options were clear. No sugar-coating. Procedure was quick. Nurses were good. Follow-up plan is straightforward. Doing cardiac rehab now. He knows his stuff. I'm alive. That's what matters.
I've always been a bit nervous about hospitals, to be honest. My blood pressure had been creeping up for months, and my local doctor finally said I should see a specialist. I was quite anxious meeting Dr. Mittal. But he was... calm. He listened more than he talked at first. He adjusted my medication very gently, explaining each change and what to watch for. He didn't make me feel silly for my worries. It's been six months now, and my numbers are where they should be. It feels managed, not just treated. I'm very grateful for his quiet, steady approach.
Wow, what a difference! I'd been dragging myself around for months, just exhausted, thinking it was work stress. Turns out, my heart was only working at like 40%! Dr. Mittal diagnosed it right away—some cardiomyopathy thing. Started me on this new medication regimen and, seriously, within a few weeks I felt like a new person! I had energy again! I just saw him for my three-month check-up and my echo looks fantastic. He high-fived me! The guy is brilliant, and he actually seems happy when you get better. My wife says she's got her husband back. Best decision ever, going to see him.
