Patient Experience
Fainted during my daughter's wedding. Dr. Mishra diagnosed vasovagal syncope but still ran full tests 'for peace of mind.' His thoroughness let me dance at her reception without fear.
At 82, I collapsed gardening. Dr. Mishra's team performed emergency angioplasty within the golden hour. He held my hand pre-op, saying 'We'll have you back with your roses soon.' Two months later, I'm deadheading blooms with zero shortness of breath.
My 14-year-old daughter's athletic physical revealed a heart murmur. Dr. Mishra knelt to her eye level, used butterfly analogies to explain mitral valve prolapse, and created a safe training plan. She just made varsity track!
Rushed to Artemis with crushing chest pain during Diwali celebrations. Dr. Mishra inserted a stent while calmly explaining each step. The fireworks I saw weren't just outside - he lit up my survival hopes.
As a hypochondriac, I'd seen 5 cardiologists. Dr. Mishra spent 45 minutes mapping my anxiety-induced symptoms versus real markers. His 'worry journal' technique finally broke my ER-visit cycle.
Follow-up after triple bypass: Dr. Mishra noticed my sockless feet and deduced I'd stopped diabetes meds. His stern 'Your heart fought hard; don't betray it now' speech still echoes during my morning walks.
My husband's rare coronary artery dissection baffled other doctors. Dr. Mishra stayed past midnight researching similar cases, ultimately saving him with customized anticoagulant therapy. We call him our medical detective.
Teenage son's routine ECG showed Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome. Dr. Mishra used gaming terminology to explain the ablation procedure - 'resetting the heart's controller.' My son asked if he could live-stream it.
Post-angioplasty, I developed debilitating hospital anxiety. Dr. Mishra conducted follow-ups in the hospital garden, once even during drizzle. Said 'Fresh air is better medicine than anything I can prescribe.'
Emergency transfer from a smaller clinic - my LAD was 99% blocked. Dr. Mishra's team performed rotational atherectomy with the precision of watchmakers. The man has diamond hands in the cath lab.
As a cardiac surgeon myself, I became Dr. Mishra's patient after my STEMI. His humility in seeking my input while maintaining authority was masterful. Sometimes the greatest healers know when to be colleagues.
My mother's dementia made her tear out IV lines. Dr. Mishra sang old Hindi film songs during her pacemaker implantation. She now hums those tunes whenever her chest feels 'happy.'
Routine checkup revealed asymptomatic AFib. Dr. Mishra's early detection and pulse field ablation let me keep my pilot's license. He didn't just treat my heart - he saved my career.
Complex multivessel disease required hybrid CABG/PCI. Dr. Mishra coordinated with thoracic surgeons like a conductor leading an orchestra. My recovery was symphonic.
