Dr. Saurabh Anand Reviews

My 82-year-old father underwent emergency brain surgery after a fall. Dr. Anand's calm precision in managing anesthesia despite Dad's complex heart history was breathtaking. He personally monitored his vitals throughout, adjusting medications with such subtlety that recovery was smoother than we ever imagined. We're forever grateful.

When my 7-year-old daughter needed sedation for an MRI, Dr. Anand transformed a terrifying experience into an adventure. He knelt to her eye level, explaining how the 'space helmet' would help her dream about unicorns. His playful approach had her giggling before the procedure—no tears, no fear. Pure magic.

Rushed to Artemis after a motorcycle accident with head trauma, I remember Dr. Anand's voice cutting through my panic: 'I've got your breathing controlled, now focus on my words.' His neuro-critical care team worked like a synchronized orchestra, balancing sedation and monitoring with impossible grace. He saved more than my life—he saved my cognition.

For my deep brain stimulation surgery, Dr. Anand designed a customized awake anesthesia protocol. During the procedure, he kept me comfortable yet alert enough to respond to neurologist's questions. His ability to maintain that delicate balance felt like watching a tightrope walker perform flawlessly—terrifyingly complex, yet executed with effortless mastery.

Following my wife's aneurysm coiling, Dr. Anand noticed subtle EEG changes others might have missed. He adjusted her medications immediately, preventing potential complications. His follow-up visits included teaching us how to recognize warning signs—not just treating, but empowering us. That's care beyond the hospital walls.

My teenage son's pituitary tumor resection required sophisticated neuroanesthesia due to his asthma. Dr. Anand created a novel ventilation strategy that had the surgical team nodding in appreciation. He even explained the science to my son, sparking his interest in medicine. Turned a scary experience into inspiration.

As an ICU nurse myself, I'm notoriously critical of colleagues. But watching Dr. Anand manage a patient with refractory status epilepticus was humbling. His medication titration was mathematically perfect, his communication with the family brutally honest yet compassionate. This is how medicine should be practiced.

During my routine spine surgery pre-op consultation, Dr. Anand spent 40 minutes explaining how he'd protect my brain perfusion during positioning. He drew diagrams, discussed recent research, and addressed my specific concerns about post-op nausea. Never had an anesthesiologist invest so much in a 'routine' case.

My mother's Parkinson's made her prone to aspiration during a hip replacement. Dr. Anand used advanced airway techniques and monitored her swallowing function continuously post-op. When she took her first sip of water without coughing, he celebrated with us. That moment of shared joy revealed his profound humanity.

After my brother's severe traumatic brain injury, Dr. Anand managed his neurocritical care for three weeks. He never gave false hope, but never surrendered either. His daily updates were clinical masterclasses filled with both data and compassion. When my brother finally blinked in recognition, Dr. Anand's eyes glistened—he fights for every neuron.

For my child's epilepsy surgery, Dr. Anand developed a targeted anesthesia plan that preserved the epileptogenic zone's activity for mapping while ensuring complete comfort. The neurosurgeon later told us his work made the difference between partial and complete seizure freedom. Technical brilliance with life-altering impact.

During a complex cerebrovascular procedure that ran hours overtime, Dr. Anand maintained perfect physiological parameters despite the patient's deteriorating condition. His quiet commands to the team and innovative use of monitoring technologies felt like watching a master craftsman at work—every adjustment precise, every decision validated.

My 90-year-old grandmother needed emergency drainage of a chronic subdural hematoma. Dr. Anand modified traditional anesthesia protocols to account for her frailty, using cerebral oxygenation monitoring I'd never heard of. She woke up clear-headed, asking for tea—a miracle given her preoperative state.

As a medical student rotating through neuro-ICU, I saw Dr. Anand turn a crashing patient with neurogenic pulmonary edema into a stable one in minutes. His teaching during the crisis—explaining each intervention's physiological rationale—was the most valuable lesson of my training. He creates tomorrow's doctors while saving today's patients.

Following my acoustic neuroma surgery, Dr. Anand personally designed a multi-modal pain regimen that avoided opioids entirely. His innovative approach prevented nausea and confusion, allowing me to participate in therapy immediately. Recovery was so rapid the physical therapist joked I must have stolen Dr. Anand's brain.
