Patient Experience
Had a pretty major surgery with Dr. Kathuria. The first few days after were rough, I won't lie, but his team had a clear plan for the pain. They didn't just throw pills at me; they explained what to expect each day and how to manage it. It made the whole recovery feel less scary. Still sore, but I'm getting there.
As a consultant with a packed schedule, I needed a GI doc who got straight to the point. Dr. Kathuria did. He reviewed my history, ordered the right tests without any fuss, and diagnosed my issue in two visits. Treatment worked. No fluff, just results. Exactly what I needed.
Look, I was nervous about getting a colonoscopy. Dr. Kathuria was straight with me—told me exactly how it would go, no sugarcoating. The procedure itself was quick, and he explained what he saw right after. No complications. Good experience.
I'd been dealing with stomach problems for almost a year, bouncing between local docs who just prescribed antacids. Finally went to Medanta. The waiting area was busy, but once I got in, Dr. Kathuria really listened. He asked questions no one else had, pieced together my diet and stress from work. His diagnosis made total sense. Started the new treatment plan he suggested, and for the first time in months, I'm feeling like myself again. It was a relief to finally be heard.
I'd been to a few doctors over the last year for this constant stomach pain and fatigue. Everyone had a different theory. Dr. Agarwala was the first one who actually sat and pieced my whole history together, like a puzzle. He ordered a specific test the others hadn't, and it turned out to be something pretty rare. He explained it to me and my wife in plain language, no jargon. It was a relief just to have a name for it, and his plan actually worked.
Had to get my first colonoscopy at Medanta. I was nervous at first, I won't lie. But the whole thing was so straightforward. Dr. Agarwala's team walked me through each step, and the procedure itself was over before I knew it. The recovery area was quiet, and they gave me clear instructions before I left. It felt very routine for them, which made it less scary for me.
The hospital itself is huge, and I got a bit turned around finding the gastroenterology wing. Once I got there, though, the front desk lady saw I was confused and walked me right to the check-in counter. The nurse who took my vitals was really kind, and even the person who cleaned the room smiled and said hello. It's a busy place, but the staff made it feel less impersonal.
What I remember most is how Dr. Agarwala talked to me. I was scared about what the biopsy might show. He didn't rush. He pulled up a chair, looked me in the eye, and asked how I was holding up. He listened to my worries without interrupting. When he explained the next steps, he checked that I understood. He felt like a real person, not just a specialist in a white coat.
Our 8-year-old, Aarav, was born with a complex heart condition. We'd seen a few doctors, but the answers were always vague and scary. From our first meeting, Dr. Upadhyay was different. He got down on his level, showed us the scans, and explained everything in a way we could finally understand. He never rushed us. The day of the surgery was the longest of our lives—the waiting room was stuffy and we must have drunk a gallon of bad coffee. But when he came out, tired but smiling, to say it went well, I just broke down. Seeing Aarav's color come back, bit by bit, in the days after... that was Dr. Upadhyay's work. The nurses were great, but he was the one who gave us our son back.
Severe aortic stenosis. Needed a valve replacement. I did my research and chose Dr. Indivar Upadhyay at Medanta. Consultation was clear: he outlined the procedure, the risks, the recovery. No sugar-coating. Surgery happened on schedule. Team was efficient. Hospital stay was standard—food was okay, parking is always a hassle there. Follow-up appointments have been straightforward. He answers questions directly. I'm recovering as expected. Good result.
I was so frightened when they told me I needed bypass surgery. My hands wouldn't stop shaking. Dr. Upadhyay has such a calm way about him. He listened to all my worries, even the silly ones about the stitches and the noise of the machines. He just nodded and said, 'We will take good care of you.' And they did. The room was quiet, and the night nurse was very kind. I'm home now, taking things slow. My chest is sore, of course, but every day is a little better. I just feel very grateful to him and his team for their kindness.
Wow, what a difference! I'd been putting off dealing with my mitral valve for years—just living with the shortness of breath and fatigue. Finally saw Dr. Upadhyay and he was like, 'Let's fix this.' The whole process at Medanta was so organized. The man knows his stuff! I was up and walking the next day, and the energy I have now is incredible. It's like someone switched a light back on. My wife says I'm a new man. Seriously, if you need heart surgery, this is your guy. Best decision I ever made.
For months, I was just told I had anxiety. The palpitations were getting scary. Dr. Pandey didn't just listen to my heart, he listened to my whole story. He ordered a specific test my local hospital didn't even have. Turns out it was a rare electrical issue in my heart, not nerves at all. He drew me a diagram on his notepad to explain it. Finally, an answer.
I needed a stent. Not my idea of a good time, obviously. But from the minute I walked into the cath lab at Medanta, the team had it down. It was over before I knew it. Dr. Pandey checked on me that evening himself, just to say it went perfectly. The whole thing felt very standard for them, which was exactly what I needed it to be.
Look, the parking at Medanta is a nightmare, I won't lie. But once I got inside for my father's appointment, it was different. The lady at the cardiology desk remembered us from last time. The place is spotless, sure, but it was the nurse who saw I was stressed and brought me a glass of water without me asking. That stuck with me more than the fancy equipment.
My husband is a difficult patient—doesn't like doctors, hates asking questions. Dr. Pandey has this calm way about him. He didn't talk down to him, just sat and chatted about the meds like they were figuring out a puzzle together. My husband actually left the room understanding his condition for the first time. That's a skill.
My father was Dr. Mudgal's patient for a triple bypass. Honestly, we were terrified walking into Medanta. But Dr. Mudgal sat us down in his office and drew the whole procedure on a notepad, explaining it like we were five. He called my sister personally after the surgery, even though it was late. He didn't just fix my dad's heart; he gave our whole family peace of mind. The nurses were great too, though the coffee in the waiting area was terrible.
Needed aortic valve replacement. Found Dr. Vikas Mudgal at Medanta. Consult was direct, surgery scheduled efficiently. Recovery was smooth. Back to work in six weeks. No fuss, great result.
Look, I was scared. Who isn't before heart surgery? But Dr. Mudgal cuts through the nonsense. He told me straight: "Your valve's failing, here's the plan, we do it Tuesday." No sugar-coating, which I actually appreciated. The hospital's huge and a bit of a maze, but his team knew their stuff. I'm three months out now and feeling like myself again. Would recommend him to anyone who wants a doctor who tells it like it is.
It started with this crushing pain in my chest while I was gardening. Long story short, I needed a bypass. From the first meeting, Dr. Mudgal had this calm way about him. He remembered small things, like asking about my grandkids. The day of the surgery, I was a nervous wreck waiting in pre-op. He came by, patted my shoulder, and said, "We're going to take good care of you." That meant a lot. The stay at Medanta was fine—the food was surprisingly decent. Now, I'm walking two miles a day. My wife says I have more color. It feels like I've been given a second chance, and a big part of that is because of him and his team.
