Patient Experience
At my age, you worry about being a bother. Dr. Deepak never made me feel that way. He explained my gallbladder procedure in simple terms, and his team at Nanavati was very kind. The recovery was smoother than I'd feared. A true gentleman and a skilled surgeon.
Needed an appendectomy fast to get back to work. Dr. Deepak's team at Nanavati Max moved quickly. Clear instructions, efficient surgery, minimal fuss. Was back at my desk in a week. Exactly what I needed.
Had a hernia fixed by Dr. Deepak. He's straight to the point, which I liked. Told me what to expect, no sugar-coating. Surgery went fine, scar is neat. Parking at the hospital was a nightmare, but that's not on him.
I was really nervous about surgery. From the first consult, Dr. Deepak just listened. He drew a little diagram on his notepad to show what he'd do. The day of, I was waiting a bit, but when he came in he remembered our chat and that helped me calm down. At Nanavati, his team checked on me often. Even called a couple days after I went home to see how the pain was. It felt like he actually cared how I got through it, not just that he did the operation.
My dad was really scared about his scan results at Nanavati. Dr. Deepak called me directly after reading the films. He didn't just give a report; he drew me a simple diagram on a notepad to show exactly what was going on and what the next steps should be. He gave me his direct line for follow-up questions. It made a horrible situation feel manageable.
I've been seeing Dr. Deepak for follow-up scans on a chronic lung condition for about 7 years now. What I appreciate is that he remembers me and my history. He doesn't just compare my scan to the last one; he'll pull up the one from three years ago to show me a trend. I trust his reading completely because he knows the whole story, not just the single image. The consistency is everything.
Had an MRI for a knee injury. Dr. Deepak read it. Got the report fast, and he explained it in plain English—showed me the torn bit on the screen. No fluff. Told me exactly what it meant for my recovery. Solid doctor.
The whole thing started with this weird, persistent pain in my side. My GP sent me to Nanavati for a scan. I was in the waiting room, nervous, scrolling on my phone to distract myself. When my name was called, Dr. Deepak was there with the tech. The scan itself was quick, but the wait after felt long. Then he came back in, sat down, and said, 'Okay, let's walk through what we're seeing.' He didn't rush. He pointed out the shadow on the image, explained why it was likely a benign cyst and not the scary thing I'd imagined, and scheduled a follow-up scan in 6 months just to be safe. He turned a moment of panic into a clear plan.
