Dr. Shivam Shingla

Our world stopped when we heard the word 'leukemia' about our 8-year-old. The first meeting with Dr. Shivam was in a quiet room at Nanavati, and he just sat and listened to all our panicked questions for what felt like an hour. He never rushed. He explained the treatment plan in ways we could actually understand, and when my son was scared of the IV, Dr. Shivam talked to him about superheroes and how the medicine was like a shield. It wasn't just about the drugs; he saw our child, not just the cancer. The nurses were great, but it was Dr. Shivam's calm presence through every scan and result that got us through the worst of it. We're home now, and our boy is back to school. That's because of him.

Diagnosis: colon cancer, stage 3. Needed an oncologist. Found Dr. Shivam at Nanavati. He was clear, no sugar-coating. Explained the chemo regimen, the possible side effects, the timeline. Answered emails promptly. The hospital system is busy—sometimes had to wait a bit for appointments—but he was always prepared and focused during consultations. Treatment was tough, but effective. Scans show clear progress. He did what he said he would do. Recommend him.

I was quite nervous about starting chemotherapy. The whole process seemed so daunting. Dr. Shivam has a very gentle way about him. He took time during our first meeting to make sure I was comfortable, and he always asked how I was feeling, not just physically. There was one week where the side effects were particularly bad, and his team was very responsive in adjusting the medication. It made a difficult journey feel a little less lonely. The care at Nanavati was very good, and I am so grateful for his kindness and attention throughout.

What a relief! After two opinions that left me more confused than anything, meeting Dr. Shivam was like finally finding the right guide. He mapped out my lymphoma treatment so clearly—no doom and gloom, just a solid, step-by-step plan. Yeah, the parking at the hospital is always a mission, but walking into his clinic felt different. He’s got this great energy; you feel like you’re in capable hands. Halfway through treatment, my scans already looked better! I actually looked forward to my appointments because I left feeling hopeful. Finished my last cycle last month and I’m feeling like myself again. Dr. Shivam and his team are fantastic!
