Patient Experience
Needed a BMT consultant who understood time was critical. Dr. Shailaja at Nanavati Max cut straight to the point, explained my options clearly without sugarcoating, and her team executed the plan efficiently. Back to work in less time than I'd feared.
I was terrified when they said I needed a transplant. Honestly, I cried in the waiting room. But Dr. Shailaja just had this calm way about her. She answered every single one of my anxious questions, even the silly ones, and never made me feel rushed. The procedure was tough, but knowing she was in charge made it bearable. I'm just so relieved it's over.
Look, I was sick. Needed a bone marrow transplant. Found Dr. Shailaja. She knows her stuff, tells you how it is. The hospital's good. Process was straightforward. I'm doing better now. That's what matters.
My journey to Nanavati Max was a long one, after two opinions elsewhere. From the first meeting, Dr. Shailaja was different. She spent nearly an hour with me and my wife, drawing diagrams on a notepad to show exactly how the transplant would work and what to expect week by week. There were delays—some test results took time, the parking lot was always a hassle—but her team kept us informed. Through the worst of the recovery, when I felt awful, she’d adjust things based on how I was reacting, not just a textbook plan. It felt personal. A year later, I’m gardening again, which I never thought I’d get back to.
