Dr. Kumar Doshi

I've been seeing Dr. Kumar for my COPD for about seven years now, since he was at his old clinic. Following him to Nanavati Max was a no-brainer. He remembers the specifics of my case without always checking the file, which matters. He doesn't jump on every new treatment trend; if something's been working, we stick with it. That consistency is hard to find. My lung function isn't what it was a decade ago, but with him, it's been a slow, managed decline, not a crisis. That's the point.

I was so scared. I'd had this cough for weeks and started getting short of breath just walking to my car. My GP said to see a specialist and I was imagining the worst. Dr. Kumar's receptionist got me in quickly, which helped. He walked in, sat down, and just said 'Okay, tell me what's happening' in this calm way. He listened to my whole rambling story, did the exam, and explained it was likely a bad post-viral thing and some asthma we didn't know about. He laid out a simple plan. I left with an inhaler and, honestly, about 90% less fear. He just made it feel manageable.

Had a stubborn chest infection that wouldn't quit. Saw Dr. Kumar. He cut through the noise, ordered the right scan, changed my antibiotics. Cleared up in a week. No fuss, got the job done. Parking at Nanavati is always a hassle, but he was worth it.

My husband had been feeling off for months—tired, a little cough he blamed on dust. I finally dragged him to see Dr. Kumar. The appointment started routine, but Dr. Kumar got quiet during the chest exam. He asked a few more questions than usual, about weight loss my husband had brushed off. He suggested a CT scan 'just to be thorough.' We got the call two days later; it was a mass. The way he told us was direct but not cruel. He already had a plan: who to see next, what the steps were. He didn't sugarcoat it, but he also didn't leave us hanging. That scan was a Tuesday. By Friday, we were in with an oncologist. In a nightmare situation, his clarity was the only solid ground we had.
