I've been seeing Dr. Garvit for follow-ups for nearly five years now, ever since my initial surgery. What stands out is how he remembers the small things—not just the scans, but how I was feeling last time, what my concerns were. The hospital's fancy, sure, but it's his consistency that makes me feel safe. You don't get that everywhere.
Okay, I was a complete wreck before my appointment. I'd never had any kind of surgery before and my mind was racing. Dr. Garvit just... calmed everything down. He didn't rush me, drew simple diagrams on his notepad, and actually listened to all my probably-silly questions. Left feeling like I was in solid hands, not just a number. Huge relief.
Had a lump, got it checked. Dr. Garvit was straight with me—explained the options clearly, no sugar-coating but also no scary drama. Surgery went fine, recovery was what he said it would be. Parking at Nanavati is always a hassle, but the actual medical care was good. Would recommend him if you need a breast surgeon.
My sister pushed me to get a second opinion after a confusing diagnosis elsewhere. Booking with Dr. Garvit at Nanavati was easy enough. The day of the consult, I was waiting a bit, flipping through magazines, really nervous. When he came in, he spent a full 45 minutes with me. He pulled up my scans, went through them side-by-side with the old reports, and explained the difference between what he was seeing and what the other doc said in a way that finally made sense. He had this very quiet, sure way of talking. The surgery itself was smooth, and his team checked on me regularly. That thoroughness in the beginning made all the difference.
