Patient Experience
Our 8-year-old son was diagnosed with aplastic anemia, and our world just stopped. Dr. Shubhranshu at Nanavati Max was the first doctor who made us feel like we could breathe again. He explained the bone marrow transplant process to us, not just as a procedure, but as a path forward for our boy. He even took the time to talk to our son directly, in a way he could understand, which meant everything. The whole team was amazing, but it was Dr. Shubhranshu's calm confidence that got us through the worst days. We're six months post-transplant now, and our son is back to playing football. We owe that to him.
I'm three weeks out from my transplant at Nanavati Max. The first week was rough, I won't lie. But what stood out was how Dr. Shubhranshu and his team managed the pain and the side effects. They didn't just throw medicine at it; they were constantly adjusting things based on how I felt. The recovery feels like a slow climb, but they're with you on every step. Dr. Shubhranshu checks in daily, even on weekends, and actually listens to your answers. It makes you feel like you're not just a patient in a bed.
Had my BMT with Dr. Shubhranshu. He knows his stuff. Straight talker, which I appreciated. Got me through it. Hospital's good, parking's a nightmare though.
I remember sitting in the waiting room at Nanavati Max, my hands were shaking. Leukemia. The word kept echoing. When Dr. Shubhranshu walked in, he had this quiet, focused energy. He laid out the bone marrow transplant plan on a notepad, drawing simple diagrams. "This is the mountain," he said, pointing to the transplant itself. "My job is to get you to the base camp safely. Your job is to climb." That stuck with me. There were long nights, moments of fear, and yes, the food got repetitive. But his team was always there. A year later, I'm back at work. I still have that notepad drawing. It wasn't just a medical treatment; it felt like a carefully guided journey back to myself.
