I've been seeing Dr. K. for over a decade now, ever since my first gallbladder surgery. It's the consistency that keeps me coming back. He remembers the details, asks about my family, and his team at Nanavati always knows my file. When I needed a hernia repair last year, there was no question who I'd call. It's not about flashy new techniques; it's about knowing you're in steady, capable hands. That kind of trust is hard to find.
Had an appendectomy with Dr. K. The pain started on a Tuesday, I was in his clinic Wednesday morning. He explained the situation clearly: surgery was needed, and soon. The procedure was straightforward. I was home within two days. The incision healed cleanly. No drama, no fuss. He did what he said he would do, and I'm back to normal. That's what matters.
I was so nervous before my surgery. I'd never had an operation before. Dr. K. has a very calm way about him. He took the time to draw a little diagram for me on his notepad, showing exactly what he would do. It made a world of difference. The nurses were kind, and even though the hospital parking lot was completely full that day, once I was inside, everything felt manageable. My recovery has been smooth, and I'm just so grateful for his gentle approach.
Honestly, I was a wreck. The lump I found was benign, thank goodness, but getting to that answer was terrifying. Dr. K. moved fast to get me scheduled for removal at Nanavati. When I woke up, his first words were, 'It's all out, and it looks good.' I just burst into tears from relief. The whole process, from consult to discharge, was so efficient. My family and I can finally breathe easy again. He's amazing!
