Patient Experience
I'd been to three other doctors about the constant dizziness and ringing in my ears. They all said it was just stress. Dr. Uday actually listened, asked a bunch of questions I hadn't been asked before, and ordered a specific scan. Turns out it was a tiny, treatable issue with my inner ear. He explained it with a simple diagram on his notepad. Finally, an answer after two years of feeling like I was going crazy.
Had my tonsils out last month. Honestly, I was pretty nervous about the whole thing—surgery just sounds scary. But Dr. Uday and his team made it straightforward. The whole process was clear, from the pre-op instructions to the recovery tips. It hurt for a few days, obviously, but it went exactly as he said it would. Back to eating solid food now without any trouble.
The parking at Nanavati is always a bit of a hunt, I won't lie. But once I got inside for my sinus consultation, it was a different story. The front desk lady remembered my name when I came back to ask a question, which was nice. The clinic itself was calm and clean, not like some crowded places. Even the nurse who took my vitals was really gentle and cracked a small joke to settle my nerves.
What stuck with me most about Dr. Uday was how he talked to my 8-year-old son about needing ear tubes. He didn't just talk to me. He got down on his haunches, showed him the tiny tube on his finger, and called it a 'little drain for the swimming pool in your ear.' My kid went from hiding behind my legs to asking questions. That kind of patience and simplicity means everything when it's your child.
My son came in with what seemed like a bad stomach bug, but he just kept getting worse. We'd seen other doctors. Dr. Uday was the one who actually sat and listened to the whole timeline again. He ordered a specific scan no one else had, and it turned out to be a rare intestinal complication. He explained it to us in plain words, didn't sugarcoat the surgery needed, but his calmness made the panic lift. He caught what everyone else missed.
I had to get a deep laceration stitched up after a kitchen accident. Honestly, I was dreading it—the ER was busy, and I was just another cut hand. But Dr. Uday was quick and really gentle. He talked me through each step, even made a dumb joke about my knife skills. It was over before I knew it, and the stitches are so neat you can barely see the scar now. Just a straightforward, good job.
The night my dad had his fall, Nanavati was chaotic. Parking was a nightmare, and we were all stressed. But from the front desk to the nurses, everyone was directed and calm. Dr. Uday's team worked like a well-oiled machine around him. They got my dad stabilized fast, and someone even brought my mom a cup of tea while we waited for news. The place felt efficient, not just fancy.
What I remember most isn't the medical stuff, but how Dr. Uday talked to my frightened 80-year-old mother. He didn't just look at her chart; he knelt down so he was at her eye level in the trauma bay, held her hand, and called her 'Aunty'. He explained her fractures without talking down to her. In the middle of all that beeping and rush, he made her feel like a person, not a problem. That meant the world to us.
The first week home after the transplant was the hardest. The pain was real, and I was scared. But Dr. Uday’s team had a clear plan for it. They didn’t just give pills; they explained what the pain meant and how to manage each stage. It wasn’t easy, but knowing what to expect made it bearable. I’m moving better now, taking it day by day.
Needed a liver transplant. Found Dr. Uday at Nanavati. He explained the procedure, risks, and recovery clearly. Surgery went as planned. Team was competent. Follow-ups are strict. I’m getting better. Parking at the hospital is often a problem, though.
I was quite nervous before meeting Dr. Uday. My family was worried sick. But he has a very calm way of explaining things. He listened to all our fears about the surgery without rushing. The care at the hospital was very good, and he checked on me personally every morning. It made a difficult time much softer.
Honestly, I thought I was out of options. My energy was gone. Meeting Dr. Uday changed that. He said we could do this, and we did! The difference now is night and day. I have color in my face again! The whole process was big, but wow, to feel this relief… it’s everything.
