Dr. Nagraj G. Huilgol Reviews

I've been under Dr. Nagraj's care for over two years now for my follow-ups. You get to know a doctor's real character when you see them month after month. He never rushes, even when he's clearly busy. He remembers the small things—asks about my garden, remembers my daughter's exams. The treatment plan we started with at Nanavati was solid, but it's this consistency that's made living with this manageable. I trust him because he's shown up, every single time.

Diagnosis: throat cancer. Needed radiation. Found Dr. Nagraj. He explained the process, the side effects, the schedule. No sugar-coating. The hospital parking is always a hassle, but his team runs on time. Treatment was tough, but he checked the charts himself each visit. It's done now. Scans are clear. He did what he said he would do.

I was so frightened when I first came to Nanavati. The word 'oncology' is heavy. But Dr. Nagraj has such a calm way about him. He listened more than he talked in that first meeting. He'd explain things in a quiet voice, making sure I understood before moving on. The nurses were kind, too. The whole experience was difficult, of course, but I always felt I was in careful hands. I'm just so grateful.

After two opinions that left me more confused than anything, I saw Dr. Nagraj. Finally, someone who could lay out a clear plan! He got my scans up, pointed things out, and said 'here's what we can do.' No fluff. The radiation therapy was intense, but wow, the difference it made. My energy is back, the pain is gone. I walked out of my last follow-up and just wanted to cheer. This guy knows his stuff.

My case was a real puzzle for a while. Other doctors were scratching their heads, but Dr. Nagraj at Nanavati Max just kept digging. He pieced together some obscure test results that others had missed and finally gave us a clear path forward for the transplant. It was scary, but having a real answer, even a tough one, was a relief.

I needed a fairly standard stem cell harvest. Honestly, I was more worried about the hospital being huge and confusing. The procedure itself with Dr. Nagraj was straightforward, just like he said it would be. In and out, no surprises. Sometimes boring and predictable is exactly what you want in a hospital.

Look, the parking situation at Nanavati Max is a nightmare, I won't lie. But once you're inside, it makes sense. The BMT unit nurses were the real deal—they remembered my kid's name and would bring an extra juice box without me asking. It’s the small stuff when you're stuck there for weeks that actually matters.

Dr. Nagraj has this calm way of explaining things that doesn't make you feel stupid. Before my transplant, I was a bundle of nerves, asking the same questions over and over. He never rushed me, just drew little diagrams on his notepad each time. He felt more like a really smart, patient teacher than just a surgeon.
