Had a spinal fusion three months...

Doctor: Dr. Meghana Patwardhan Hospital: Nanavati Max Hospital

Had a spinal fusion three months ago and the pain was just not letting up. My regular doc referred me to Dr. Meghana at Nanavati. She didn't just throw more pills at me. We talked for a good 20 minutes, she explained why I was hurting in specific spots post-surgery, and put together a plan with specific exercises and a nerve block. It's not magic, I still have some bad days, but for the first time I feel like I'm actually recovering instead of just surviving.

I was so scared to go....

Doctor: Dr. Meghana Patwardhan Hospital: Nanavati Max Hospital

I was so scared to go. Chronic back pain for years but I hate hospitals and the thought of injections freaked me out. Dr. Meghana was just... calm. She listened to all my worries without rushing me, even the silly ones. Explained everything in a way that actually made sense. She said 'we'll go as slow as you need to.' Left feeling relieved, not panicked. Finally started treatment and it's helping.

My shoulder was a wreck. Couldn't...

Doctor: Dr. Meghana Patwardhan Hospital: Nanavati Max Hospital

My shoulder was a wreck. Couldn't sleep, couldn't work out. Saw Dr. Meghana for pain management. Straight shooter. Told me exactly what the options were, what the injections would and wouldn't do, how long relief might last. No sugar-coating. Did the procedure, it worked. Parking at Nanavati is always a hassle, but she was worth the trip.

It started as a dull ache...
May 23, 2026
Doctor: Dr. Meghana Patwardhan Hospital: Nanavati Max Hospital

It started as a dull ache in my neck last year, and by last month, I couldn't turn my head to check my blind spot while driving. I'd seen two other doctors who just prescribed stronger painkillers. At my wit's end, I booked with Dr. Meghana. The clinic was running a little late that day, but her assistant kept us updated. When Dr. Meghana came in, she spent the first ten minutes just asking me to describe the pain – was it burning, or more like a pressure? Did it shoot down my arm? She had me do specific movements right there. She pinpointed it as a cervical radiculopathy and suggested a targeted approach rather than a general one. The procedure itself was quick, and while the numbing shot pinched, she talked me through it the whole time. It's been six weeks now. I'm not 100%, but I can drive my kids to school again without wincing. That's a win for me.
