Patient Experience
I needed a transplant, but my situation was considered pretty straightforward. Dr. Yajuvendra explained it all without making me feel like my case was 'simple' or unimportant. The whole process from admission to discharge felt like a well-oiled machine. There were no big surprises, just a clear plan that we followed. Sometimes, boring is good, and this was the best kind of boring.
Look, the parking at Nanavati Max is always a bit of a hunt. But once you're inside, it's a different world. The BMT unit nurses were angels—they remembered my kid's name and would ask about his school. Even the cleaning staff smiled. Dr. Yajuvendra's team runs a tight ship, but it's a kind one. The environment made a scary time feel manageable.
What I'll remember most is how Dr. Yajuvendra talked to me. Not at me. Before the transplant, I was a nervous wreck. He pulled up a chair, put my scans on the screen, and just said, 'Okay, let's walk through what a normal day after the procedure will look like.' No sugar-coating, but no doom and gloom either. Just a calm, clear human being who made me feel like I was in the room with a partner, not just a brilliant doctor.
Had a persistent cough for weeks. Dr. Kanchan saw me at Nanavati, got straight to the point, ordered the right tests, and had me on a treatment plan that worked in days. No fuss, just effective. Exactly what I needed with my schedule.
My elderly mother was admitted, and we were all scared. Dr. Kanchan was the one who actually explained everything to us in a way we could understand. She took time to answer our questions, even the silly ones, and never made us feel rushed. Her clear communication made a stressful situation manageable for the whole family.
Look, I was feeling run down for months. Saw Dr. Kanchan. She listened, didn't brush me off, figured out it was a thyroid thing. Started meds, feel like myself again. Simple as that. Good doctor.
I went to Nanavati Max with this weird mix of fatigue and joint pain. Honestly, the parking was a nightmare that day. Dr. Kanchan, though, was different. She spent a good 20 minutes just asking questions, piecing together things I didn't think were connected—my tiredness, some mild stomach issues. She suspected a vitamin deficiency and an underlying inflammation, not just stress like I thought. The blood work proved her right. The treatment plan was specific, and she followed up with a call to check in. It wasn't a magic fix, but I finally feel like someone got to the root of it.
I was so scared for my first appointment. My hands were literally shaking in the waiting room. Dr. Mohan just had this calm way of explaining everything, no rush, and actually listened to all my probably silly questions. Left Nanavati feeling like I could actually do this.
My 16-year-old daughter was in a lot of pain and we didn't know why. We saw Dr. Mohan at Nanavati. She was so kind to my girl, talked to her directly, not just to me. She figured out it was endometriosis, got her on a treatment plan that worked, and checked in with us herself after. Seeing my daughter get her life back meant everything.
Needed a second opinion on a surgery recommendation. Saw Dr. Mohan. She was straight up, no sugar-coating, explained my options clearly. Liked that she didn't push anything. Got the surgery with her, recovery was smooth. Good doctor.
My journey with Dr. Mohan started five years ago with a complicated pregnancy. I remember waiting a bit past my slot, nervous, but she walked in and immediately focused. She managed my gestational diabetes tightly, delivered my son safely when things got tricky. Fast forward to last month, I went back for a fibroid issue. She remembered me, asked about my boy by name. That personal touch, on top of her being brilliant at what she does, is why I trust her completely.
My father, who's 78, had been struggling with his hearing for over a year. It made him so quiet. We were all worried. Dr. Ajay didn't just talk to us; he listened. He explained the options for hearing aids in a way my dad could understand, without any pressure. The waiting room was busy, but he never rushed us. Seeing my dad smile and join the conversation at dinner again... that's what matters. The whole family feels lighter.
My son needed his tonsils out. I was a nervous wreck. Dr. Ajay was direct. He laid out the facts, the risks, the recovery—clearly. No sugar-coating, which I actually appreciated. He answered every one of my anxious questions, even the silly ones. The surgery went smoothly. My boy is eating ice cream and already sounds better. Simple as that.
My wife had a persistent sinus issue that multiple courses of medicine couldn't fix. She was in constant discomfort. Dr. Ajay has a very calm way about him. He reviewed her history quietly, suggested a minor procedure, and talked us through each step with such patience. The hospital parking was a bit of a hassle that morning, but once we were with him, we felt assured. Her relief has been immense. We're both so grateful for his careful approach.
After months of recurring ear infections left my 4-year-old miserable and missing preschool, we saw Dr. Ajay. He was fantastic with her! Got down on her level, showed her the little light on his scope. He explained to me that tubes might really help, and he was right. The difference is night and day. No more late-night crying, no more missed days. I'm just so relieved we found him. It feels like we got our happy kid back.
Needed a bypass. My schedule is insane, so I needed a surgeon who was direct and got things done. Dr. Vijay explained the procedure clearly, no fluff. Surgery went smoothly, recovery was on track. Back at my desk in less time than I expected. Nanavati's facilities are good, but it was his efficiency that made the difference.
I was terrified. Never had surgery before, and the word 'cardiac' just made my heart race more. From the first meeting, Dr. Vijay was different. He actually sat down, looked me in the eye, and drew a simple diagram of what he was going to do. He said 'we'll get through this' and I believed him. The whole team at Nanavati was kind, but his calm confidence is what got me into that operating room without a panic attack. I'm home now and just so relieved.
Had a valve replacement with Dr. Vijay. Straight shooter. Told me what was wrong, what he was gonna do, and what to expect. No sugar-coating, which I appreciate. Surgery went fine. The hospital parking is always a nightmare, but that's not on him. Good doctor. Does his job well.
It started with just feeling run-down, then some chest tightness. My GP sent me to Nanavati and I met Dr. Vijay. What I remember most is how he listened. I brought a notepad full of questions—my wife made me—and he went through every single one without making me feel rushed. The day of surgery, he came to see me before they wheeled me in, cracked a small joke about my lucky socks. The procedure itself was complex, my wife said he came out to update her twice. Recovery had its ups and downs, a couple of rough nights, but his team was always responsive. Six months on, I'm gardening again. He gave me that back.
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.
