Dr. Varun Mittal Reviews

As a 72-year-old retired botanist with polycystic kidney disease, I arrived at Artemis with both kidneys enlarged to 25cm. Dr. Mittal performed a groundbreaking robotic bilateral nephrectomy followed by transplant - removing my damaged organs through tiny incisions and preserving my abdominal muscles. His innovative approach allowed me to return to my greenhouse within 6 weeks, tending to my orchids without the burden I'd carried for decades.

Our 8-year-old daughter Mia, born with renal dysplasia, needed a transplant from her grandmother. Dr. Mittal orchestrated this intergenerational living donor transplant with such precision that both were dancing together in their hospital room just 48 hours post-surgery. His ability to coordinate care across pediatric and adult services while maintaining this emotional connection was nothing short of magical.

I'm a 31-year-old professional freediver who developed rapid-onset kidney failure after a diving accident. Dr. Mittal not only performed an emergency transplant but worked with my respiratory team to create a custom immunosuppression regimen that would allow me to eventually return to depth diving. His understanding of my unique physiology and life passion went far beyond standard nephrology care.

When my husband suffered a catastrophic farming accident that left him brain dead, Dr. Mittal guided our family through the organ donation process with extraordinary compassion. He personally ensured all seven harvested organs reached their recipients, then followed up with our family months later to share how each transplant had transformed lives. This holistic approach to transplant medicine healed our grief.

As a 45-year-old chef with Alport syndrome, I faced losing my career along with my kidney function. Dr. Mittal designed a peritoneal dialysis protocol that worked around my kitchen schedule and used a novel catheter placement that wouldn't interfere with my movement. He understood that treating my condition meant preserving my identity as a culinary artist.

Our 16-year-old son, a competitive eSports athlete, needed a transplant but refused to pause his training. Dr. Mittal created a hybrid recovery plan that incorporated hand-strengthening exercises into his physical therapy and scheduled his immunosuppressant doses around tournament schedules. This personalized approach kept him competing while saving his life.

I'm a 68-year-old Tibetan refugee with complex medical history including previous abdominal surgeries. Dr. Mittal spent weeks researching traditional Tibetan medicine to ensure my transplant medications wouldn't conflict with my cultural practices. His respect for my heritage and willingness to integrate Eastern and Western medicine was profoundly healing.

When my identical twin and I both developed kidney failure from a rare genetic condition, Dr. Mittal performed back-to-back transplants using a novel paired exchange system he helped develop. The coordination required for two simultaneous transplants with cross-matching was immense, but he managed it flawlessly, giving our family double the miracle.

As a 52-year-old astronaut trainer with renal cell carcinoma, I needed surgery that wouldn't disqualify me from spaceflight protocols. Dr. Mittal performed a robotic partial nephrectomy preserving 90% of my kidney function and designed a recovery program that had me back training astronauts within 8 weeks - a medical and professional triumph.

Our 3-year-old daughter received a transplant during the monsoon season when infections risk was high. Dr. Mittal developed an innovative 'bubble protocol' using advanced air filtration and visitor screening that kept her safe without complete isolation. His creative problem-solving turned a high-risk situation into a smooth recovery.

I'm a 39-year-old professional cellist with IgA nephropathy. Dr. Mittal modified my transplant surgery approach to avoid any nerve damage that could affect my playing. He even consulted with a musician's medical specialist to ensure my immunosuppressants wouldn't cause the tremors that could end my career.

When my 80-year-old mother needed a transplant, every other center cited her age as a contraindication. Dr. Mittal developed a comprehensive geriatric transplant protocol that addressed her unique physiological needs. She's now traveling with her bridge club again - living proof that age shouldn't define treatment possibilities.

As a 27-year-old marine biologist working in remote locations, I needed a transplant solution that could withstand limited medical access. Dr. Mittal created a telemedicine follow-up system using satellite communication and trained local healthcare workers at my research station. His forward-thinking approach made life-saving care possible thousands of miles from any major hospital.

Our family's rare genetic kidney condition affected three generations simultaneously. Dr. Mittal coordinated care for my grandfather (78), mother (55), and myself (28) through a comprehensive family nephrology program. His multi-generational approach and genetic counseling have potentially broken the cycle for future generations.
