Patient Experience
I've been seeing Dr. Vani for over three years now for my anxiety. What I value most is her consistency. She remembers the details from our last session, which makes me feel heard. It's not about quick fixes; it's about steady, reliable support. I trust her judgment completely.
Look, I was skeptical about therapy. Friend pushed me to go. Dr. Vani at Nanavati was surprisingly no-nonsense. Didn't make me feel weird for being there. Actually helped. Parking's a nightmare, though.
I was really nervous walking into Nanavati for the first time. The whole hospital vibe is intimidating. Dr. Vani had this calm way of talking that just slowed my racing thoughts down. She asked about my sleep, my appetite—things I hadn't connected to my mood. In one session, she pieced together a pattern I'd missed for years. It wasn't a magic cure, but it was the first real understanding I'd had in a long time.
I'd been to three different doctors for this constant fatigue and joint pain. They all said it was stress or maybe just getting older. Dr. Agya was the first one who actually sat and listened to my whole history, even the stuff I thought was irrelevant. She ordered a specific set of blood tests no one else had. Turns out, it was a rare autoimmune thing. She explained it to me in plain English, didn't sugarcoat it, but laid out a clear plan. I finally feel like I'm getting somewhere.
Had to get a colonoscopy, which honestly, I was dreading. The prep was as awful as everyone says, I won't lie. But the day of, at Nanavati, everything just clicked. Dr. Agya popped her head in before I went under, cracked a dry joke that actually made me laugh, and the next thing I knew, I was in recovery. The whole thing felt very routine for them, which was exactly what I needed—no drama, just competence. Got my clear results a week later.
Parking at the hospital was a nightmare that day, completely full. I was flustered and late for my appointment. But from the security guy who helped me find a spot to the lady at the front desk who calmed me down, everyone was surprisingly chill. The clinic area itself is quiet, lots of natural light. It doesn't feel like a typical hospital. That calm atmosphere really helped settle my nerves before I even saw the doctor.
Look, I'm a terrible patient. I ask too many questions and I get anxious. Dr. Agya has this way of just... being present. She doesn't look at the clock. When I explained my symptoms, she just nodded and let me talk myself out. She remembers small things from past visits, asks about my family. It's not fake-friendly; it's just steady and professional. You feel like you're in capable hands, not just being processed.
I'd been to three other doctors for this constant dizziness and ringing in my ears. Everyone said it was just stress. Dr. Siddharth was the first one who actually sat and listened to my whole history. He ordered a specific scan no one else had mentioned. Turns out it was a tiny, treatable issue with my inner ear. I felt heard for the first time in a year.
Getting my tonsils out as an adult sounded scary. The day of, I was pretty nervous, and the parking lot was completely full, which didn't help. But once I got in, everything just... worked. Dr. Siddharth explained each step right before it happened, which kept me calm. Recovery was exactly how he said it would be—unpleasant for a week, then fine. No surprises.
The hospital itself is nice, but what stood out was his assistant, Priya. My dad, who's hard of hearing, came with me. She noticed he was struggling, switched to speaking clearly face-to-face, and wrote down the key points for him without being asked. That kind of attention made a stressful visit much easier for our whole family.
Look, I'm a bad patient. I hate hospitals and I ask too many questions. Dr. Siddharth never made me feel rushed. He actually drew a diagram on the paper sheet to show me what was going on with my sinuses. He has this very calm, matter-of-fact way about him that cuts through the anxiety. You get the feeling he's just really focused on fixing the problem.
My father was admitted for a complex sinus issue, and we were all pretty scared. Dr. Narayan was the one who actually sat us down in the family room and drew diagrams on a notepad to explain what was happening and what the surgery would involve. He didn't rush us, answered every single one of my brother's anxious questions, and even gave us his direct number for the night nurse to use. That kind of clear communication took a huge weight off our shoulders during a really stressful time.
Our 7-year-old had recurring ear infections that just wouldn't stop, and he was missing so much school. I was a wreck. Dr. Narayan was so gentle with him, let him hold the little light, and called him 'champ' the whole time. He explained the need for grommets in a way that even my son understood, and the procedure itself was over so fast. It's been six months now, and he hasn't had a single infection. I cried with relief after the follow-up appointment.
Had a persistent throat thing for weeks. Saw Dr. Narayan. He figured it out fast, prescribed meds that actually worked. No fuss. Parking at Nanavati is always a pain, but the appointment itself was efficient and he listened. Would go back if I needed to.
I've had tinnitus for years—this constant ringing that makes it hard to sleep. I'd seen a couple of doctors who just shrugged. My first appointment with Dr. Narayan at Nanavati ran late because of an emergency, which I actually appreciated; it meant he'd do the same for me. He spent nearly an hour going through my history, did a really thorough exam, and was honest: a complete cure might not be possible, but he laid out a clear plan to manage it. We started with some hearing aids calibrated for my specific frequency, and for the first time in a decade, I had a quiet night. He didn't give me false hope, he gave me a practical solution that's changed my daily life.
My case was a real puzzle for a lot of doctors. By the time I got to Dr. Amandeep, I was pretty worn out from all the uncertainty. He didn't rush. He sat with my old scans, asked a ton of questions my other doctors hadn't, and pieced together a diagnosis that finally made sense. It was scary, but having a clear path for the transplant felt like a weight lifted. He was straight with me about the risks, which I actually appreciated.
I needed a fairly standard stem cell harvest, and honestly, I was just hoping to get it over with. The whole thing at Nanavati Max was surprisingly straightforward. Dr. Amandeep explained it in simple terms, the team knew their stuff, and it all went exactly as he said it would. I was in and out on schedule. Sometimes, boring is good when it comes to hospitals.
Look, the parking situation at the hospital is a nightmare, I won't lie. But once you're inside, it's a different world. The nurses on Dr. Amandeep's transplant unit were incredible—they remembered my name, my family's names, and even how I liked my tea. The place is calm and clean, which matters more than you'd think when you're stuck there for weeks. It made a hard time a little easier to bear.
What stuck with me was how Dr. Amandeep talked to my eight-year-old daughter. I was a wreck before the transplant, and she was scared. He got down on his haunches, looked her right in the eye, and explained in a way she could understand that he was going to help fix her dad. He didn't just treat the patient; he saw our whole family. That meant everything.
I've been under Dr. Nagraj's care for over two years now for my follow-ups. You get to know a doctor's real character when you see them month after month. He never rushes, even when he's clearly busy. He remembers the small things—asks about my garden, remembers my daughter's exams. The treatment plan we started with at Nanavati was solid, but it's this consistency that's made living with this manageable. I trust him because he's shown up, every single time.
