Dr. Harish Mohanty

I needed a cardiac catheterization, which honestly scared me. The day of, parking at Nanavati was a nightmare—had to circle for ages. But once I got inside, everything was straightforward. Dr. Harish's team was calm and clear about each step. The procedure itself was quick, and I was awake for it. He talked me through what he was seeing on the screen in real time. I was home the same afternoon with just a tiny bandage. It felt very routine for them, which made it less scary for me.

What stood out for me was the whole environment. My wife and I were pretty anxious before my angioplasty. The nurses in the Cath Lab were really kind; one even joked with me to get my mind off things. The room was surprisingly calm and clean. Afterwards, recovering in the room, the staff checked on me without being intrusive. It didn't feel like a factory. Dr. Harish is clearly the captain, but having a good, supportive crew around him makes a real difference when you're feeling vulnerable.

I was nervous at my first consultation. Dr. Harish has this quiet way about him—he listens more than he talks initially. He didn't rush me when I was explaining my palpitations. When he did explain what he thought was going on, he used simple terms and checked that I understood. He has a dry sense of humor, too, which cut through the tension. I never felt like just another case file on his desk. You get the sense he's actually thinking about you, not just your chart.

My family has been seeing Dr. Harish for over a decade now, ever since my father's first bypass. When my own tests showed a worrying blockage last year, there was never a question of who to call. He remembered my dad's case details, which was reassuring. The hospital's fancy, sure, but it's the consistency that matters. You know exactly what you're getting with him and his team—no surprises, just solid, careful work. That trust, built over years, is what gets you through the fear.

My GP sent me to Dr. Harish after months of weird, unexplained fatigue. I'd seen a couple of other cardiologists who said my tests were 'borderline.' Dr. Harish looked at the same numbers, asked me a few more questions about my family history, and ordered a specific, more advanced scan. He called me himself with the results—it was a rare valve issue that everyone else had missed. He drew me a picture to explain it, which helped a lot. Starting treatment for something you finally have a name for is a huge relief.
