Patient Experience
My heart was doing this weird fluttery thing and I was terrified. Dr. Alka Adlakha at Medanta just had this calm way of explaining everything, showing me the scans, and telling me it was manageable. I walked in a nervous wreck and left feeling like I could actually handle this.
At my age, one does not relish hospital visits. However, my consultation with Dr. Alka Adlakha was a most comfortable experience. She listened patiently to all my old-man worries about my heart, never rushed me, and explained the treatment plan in a way I could easily follow. A very kind and capable doctor.
Had a check-up with Dr. Alka Adlakha. She's good. Straight to the point, clear about what needs to happen, no sugar-coating. Got my meds adjusted and I'm feeling better. That's what matters.
I'd been ignoring this nagging chest tightness for weeks, blaming it on stress. Finally booked an appointment at Medanta, though the parking situation that morning was a nightmare. Dr. Adlakha didn't just glance at my chart; she asked about my job, my stress levels, my family history. She connected dots I didn't even see. The tests she ordered found a minor blockage we caught just in time. She called me herself with the results, which really stuck with me. It wasn't just a diagnosis; she made me understand my own heart.
Needed a second opinion on a complex valve issue after my local cardiologist seemed unsure. Booked a video consult with Dr. Puri. He was direct, cut through the noise, and laid out two clear surgical options with pros and cons in about 20 minutes. No sugar-coating. We scheduled the surgery at Medanta. The team ran like clockwork. I was in and out faster than expected. Back at my desk in six weeks. He gets to the point, and that's what I needed.
My husband was very scared about his bypass. I was the one talking to Dr. Puri most of the time. He has a calm way of explaining things that settled my nerves. He didn't rush us, even when I asked the same question twice. The hospital was big and a bit overwhelming, but his team was always kind. Seeing my husband walk the corridor the next day... that was everything. Dr. Puri checked on him personally every morning. It felt cared for.
I'm 42 and had a heart attack. Totally unexpected. When they said I needed surgery, I panicked. Dr. Harsh Vardhan Puri walked in, looked at my scans, and just said, 'We can fix this.' His confidence was contagious. The surgery went smoothly, and the difference was immediate—no more crushing pain. The cardiac ICU at Medanta is seriously impressive. Six months on, I'm back to hiking. This guy literally gave me my life back. I tell everyone about him.
My father's surgery with Dr. Puri was a major relief for our family. We'd been worried for months. The first meeting was straightforward; he explained the risks without drama. Yes, the waiting area was crowded, and parking took a while, but once we were in his care, things moved efficiently. The nurses were attentive, and Dr. Puri gave us clear updates post-op. Dad recovered well, with no complications. We're just so grateful he was in such capable hands.
When my father needed bypass surgery, we were terrified. Dr. Swarnika Srivastava at Medanta was the first doctor who sat us all down in a room and explained everything in simple words—what would happen, the risks, the recovery. She answered every single one of our panicked questions without rushing us. The surgery went smoothly, but it was her clear communication that really got us through it. We felt like we were in good hands the whole time.
Just home after my valve replacement with Dr. Srivastava. The first few days were rough, I won't lie. But her team had a clear plan for the pain and getting me moving. She checked on me every morning, adjusted meds based on how I was feeling, not just a chart. I'm walking a bit more each day now. She made a scary recovery feel manageable.
Had a heart surgery with Dr. Swarnika Srivastava. She's good. Straight talker, tells you how it is. Surgery went fine, recovery is on track. Parking at Medanta is always a hassle, but that's not on her.
I'd been putting off my surgery for months, scared stiff. My first meeting with Dr. Srivastava, I was so nervous I barely heard her. She noticed, slowed right down, and drew the whole procedure on a notepad for me. The day of, she gave a quick nod before they wheeled me in—just a simple gesture, but it calmed me. The follow-up has been just as thorough; she remembers the small stuff, like asking if the incision feels tight when I take a deep breath. It never felt like just another case to her.
I'd been sick for months, dropping weight and feeling exhausted. My local doctors were stumped. Dr. Dhampalwar at Medanta didn't just glance at my file; he listened to the whole timeline again, asked questions no one else had, and ordered a specific test. Turned out to be a rare type of pancreatic issue. He explained it in plain Hindi, drew me a diagram, and I finally felt like someone had found the map. The treatment plan is working.
Had to get a colonoscopy—never a fun thought. I was pretty nervous about the whole thing. The day of, the prep was the worst part, honestly. Dr. Dhampalwar's team was calm and professional. The procedure itself was over before I knew it. He came by after, showed me the pictures on the screen, and said everything looked clear. It was straightforward, just like he said it would be.
The hospital is huge, I got a bit lost finding the GI department. But once I checked in, the staff at the front desk were really patient. The nurse who took my vitals had a warm smile and cracked a small joke that settled my nerves. Even the person who brought the tea after my consultation was polite. It's a busy place, but the people make it feel less intimidating.
What stuck with me was how Dr. Dhampalwar talks to you. He doesn't rush. When I told him I was scared about the liver biopsy, he didn't dismiss it. He sat down, looked me in the eye, and walked me through every single step, including what could go wrong and how they'd handle it. He has a quiet, sure way about him that makes you believe you're in good hands.
Our 8-year-old son was diagnosed with a heart murmur that had us terrified. From the first moment in Dr. Swati Rawat's office, she spoke directly to him, not just to us. She explained everything in a way he could understand, even drawing a little picture of his heart. The waiting area was packed, and we were anxious, but she never rushed us. When she said it was a common condition we could just monitor, the weight lifted. She gave us her personal number for any silly question we might have at night. We left feeling like we had a partner, not just a doctor.
Had chest pain. Went to Medanta. Saw Dr. Swati Rawat. She ordered tests, reviewed them herself, and diagnosed a minor valve issue. Explained the treatment plan clearly: medication, lifestyle changes, follow-up in 6 months. No fluff. Efficient and knowledgeable. Parking at the hospital is always a hassle, but the consultation was worth it.
I was quite nervous about my irregular heartbeat. Dr. Rawat has such a calm way about her. She listened to all my fears without making me feel foolish. The procedure she recommended seemed daunting, but she walked me through each step so gently. The hospital staff was very kind, too. It’s been a few months now, and I’m feeling much more like myself. I’m so grateful for her care.
Wow, what a difference! I’d been feeling exhausted for months, just blaming work stress. Turns out, it was a heart thing. Dr. Rawat figured it out fast. She’s got this great energy—smart, direct, but you can tell she really loves what she does. The angioplasty went smoothly, and the team was fantastic. I walked out of Medanta two days later feeling like I got my life back. My wife says I’m back to my annoying, energetic self!
