Dr. Satya Pal Kataria Reviews

When our 16-year-old son was diagnosed, our world stopped. Dr. Kataria was the first person who looked us in the eye and said, 'We have a plan.' He explained everything to our son directly, in a way he could understand, never talking down to him. The waiting room was always packed, but he never rushed us out. He remembered small things, like our son's love for cricket, and would ask about his matches. It wasn't just treatment; it felt like he was fighting for our child's future, with us.

I've been seeing Dr. Kataria for my lymphoma for over seven years now. You learn a lot about a doctor in that time. What stands out is his consistency. The treatment path we started on years ago is still the right one, and he's adjusted it carefully as new options emerged. He doesn't get swayed by every new trend; he knows my history inside out. I trust him because he's never given me a reason not to. The clinic at Medanta runs like clockwork, and that reliability matters when you're in it for the long haul.

Dr. Kataria is straight to the point. No sugar-coating, which I appreciate. Told me my options, the pros and cons of each, and what he recommended. Asked if I had questions. Got me scheduled. Parking at Medanta is a nightmare, but once you're in his office, it's efficient. He's busy, but he listens. That's what you need.

My first appointment, I was a wreck. I'd brought a notebook full of questions, my hands were shaking. Dr. Kataria walked in, calm. He saw the notebook and said, 'Good, let's go through them.' And we did, every single one. He drew diagrams on a pad to show how the drug would work. There was one Friday, close to a holiday, when we were waiting for a critical scan result. His office called me at 7 PM to give me the news themselves so I wouldn't have to worry all weekend. It's those small acts that stick with you. The treatment worked, but it was his humanity that got me through it.
