Patient Experience
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.
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.
As an older patient, I was quite anxious about my surgery. Dr. Suresh was very kind and took time to answer all my questions, and my daughter's questions too. He has a calm way about him that put me at ease. The hospital staff followed his instructions carefully, and I felt well looked after during my stay. I am recovering nicely at home now.
Look, I was scared. Cancer surgery is no joke. Dr. Suresh cut through the noise, told me straight what he could do and what to expect. No sugarcoating, which I respect. The man knows his stuff. Parking at Nanavati is always a hassle, but that's not on him. Surgery went fine, follow-up was clear. Good doctor.
My journey with Dr. Suresh started last fall. I'd seen a couple of other surgeons, but left feeling like just another case. From our first meeting, it was different. He pulled up my scans, drew diagrams on a notepad—simple ones I could actually understand. He admitted the waiting list was long, which was frustrating, but his team got me in as soon as they could. The day of surgery, he came to see me before the anaesthesia, just to go over the plan one last time. That meant a lot. There were some tough days in recovery, but his team was always responsive. Now, months out, I'm doing things I thought I'd never do again. It wasn't just a procedure; it felt like a real partnership in getting my health back.
At my age, one expects a certain level of discomfort with serious procedures. Dr. Suresh and his team at Nanavati Max made my bone marrow transplant as smooth as could be. He explained everything to my son and me with great patience, and he always asked if I was comfortable. It was a difficult time, but I felt I was in very good hands.
I was terrified. Bone marrow transplant? I didn't know what to expect. Dr. Suresh was the first doctor who didn't make me feel silly for my questions. He drew little diagrams on his notepad and spoke so calmly. The whole thing was still scary, but having him guide us made it bearable. I'm doing much better now.
Look, I needed a transplant. Dr. Suresh got it done. No nonsense, clear answers, great team at Nanavati. Parking's a nightmare, but that's not his fault. Would recommend him if you're in a tough spot.
My journey started with a diagnosis that knocked the wind out of me. From the first consultation, Dr. Suresh laid out a clear map. I remember one afternoon, the hospital AC was too cold and I was feeling low. He noticed during his rounds, had a nurse bring an extra blanket, and sat for five minutes just talking about my hometown. It was a small thing, but in that moment, he wasn't just treating my disease; he was treating me. The procedure itself was complex, but his confidence and the way he checked in daily—even on weekends—made all the difference. I'm home now, recovering, and I owe that to his skill and genuine care.
