Dr. Suresh S. Sawardekar

I've never had surgery before and I was a complete wreck about my gallbladder operation. The whole drive to Nanavati, my hands were shaking. Dr. Suresh walked in, took one look at me, and just said, 'You look more nervous than my medical students on their first day.' He had this calm, no-nonsense way of explaining every single step that somehow made it all feel manageable. By the time I went in, I was still scared, but I trusted him completely. He made a scary thing feel normal.

Had a hernia fixed by Dr. Suresh. No fuss, clear instructions. Surgery was quick, recovery's been straightforward. Parking at the hospital is always a nightmare, but he's worth the hassle. Would see him again.

It started as a weird pain in my side that wouldn't go away. After weeks of worry and scans, I ended up in Dr. Suresh's office at Nanavati. He spent a solid 20 minutes just looking at my reports and asking questions before he even mentioned surgery. He drew me a diagram on his notepad—a proper sketch—to show exactly what he thought was wrong and how he'd fix it. The day of the operation, he was running a bit behind schedule (which I actually found reassuring—means he doesn't rush people). When I woke up, the first thing I remember is him telling my wife, 'All sorted, he can go home tomorrow.' No drama, just quiet confidence. Six months on, I'm back playing tennis.

Had a complex procedure with Dr. Suresh at Nanavati. He explained the surgical plan clearly, no fluff. Surgery went as scheduled, recovery was straightforward. Back to work in less time than I expected. Exactly what I needed.

My 8-year-old son needed an emergency appendectomy and we were terrified. Dr. Suresh at Nanavati was the one who calmed us down. He didn't just talk to us; he got down on my son's level, explained everything in a way a kid could understand, and even showed him the funny cartoon bandages he'd get. The surgery went smoothly, but what I'll remember is how he checked on us three times that first night, even though it was late. He treated my boy like his own.
