Doctor: Dr. Sharmila Banwat Hospital: Nanavati Max Hospital

I was so scared to go to a psychiatrist. My hands were shaking in the waiting room. But Dr. Sharmila just listened, really listened, and by the end I felt like I could breathe again. She didn't rush me at all. I'm actually looking forward to our next session, which is something I never thought I'd say.

Doctor: Dr. Sharmila Banwat Hospital: Nanavati Max Hospital

I've been seeing Dr. Sharmila for about three years now. What I value most is that she remembers everything—the small details from months ago, how a medication affected me, what my triggers are. It's not like starting over each time. She's helped me build a stability I didn't think was possible, and that consistency is everything.

Saw Dr. Sharmila at Nanavati. Straight to the point, no fluff. Explained my options clearly, asked what I thought. Parking there is always a hassle, but the appointment itself was efficient and helpful. Got a plan that makes sense.

Doctor: Dr. Sharmila Banwat Hospital: Nanavati Max Hospital

I'd put off getting help for years. Last Tuesday, I finally dragged myself to Nanavati. The AC in the waiting area was way too cold. When I met Dr. Sharmila, I just word-vomited for ten minutes straight. She waited, then gently pulled the thread on one specific thing I'd said—my constant need to 'fix' everything for everyone. She framed it in a way that just clicked. We talked about small, actual steps, not just vague 'feel better' advice. I left with my head quieter than it's been in a long time.
