Patient Experience
I've been seeing Dr. Kumar for my COPD for about seven years now, since he was at his old clinic. Following him to Nanavati Max was a no-brainer. He remembers the specifics of my case without always checking the file, which matters. He doesn't jump on every new treatment trend; if something's been working, we stick with it. That consistency is hard to find. My lung function isn't what it was a decade ago, but with him, it's been a slow, managed decline, not a crisis. That's the point.
I was so scared. I'd had this cough for weeks and started getting short of breath just walking to my car. My GP said to see a specialist and I was imagining the worst. Dr. Kumar's receptionist got me in quickly, which helped. He walked in, sat down, and just said 'Okay, tell me what's happening' in this calm way. He listened to my whole rambling story, did the exam, and explained it was likely a bad post-viral thing and some asthma we didn't know about. He laid out a simple plan. I left with an inhaler and, honestly, about 90% less fear. He just made it feel manageable.
Had a stubborn chest infection that wouldn't quit. Saw Dr. Kumar. He cut through the noise, ordered the right scan, changed my antibiotics. Cleared up in a week. No fuss, got the job done. Parking at Nanavati is always a hassle, but he was worth it.
My husband had been feeling off for months—tired, a little cough he blamed on dust. I finally dragged him to see Dr. Kumar. The appointment started routine, but Dr. Kumar got quiet during the chest exam. He asked a few more questions than usual, about weight loss my husband had brushed off. He suggested a CT scan 'just to be thorough.' We got the call two days later; it was a mass. The way he told us was direct but not cruel. He already had a plan: who to see next, what the steps were. He didn't sugarcoat it, but he also didn't leave us hanging. That scan was a Tuesday. By Friday, we were in with an oncologist. In a nightmare situation, his clarity was the only solid ground we had.
I'd been to three different doctors for this pain in my side, and everyone said it was just a stubborn infection. Dr. Manmohan was the first one to really listen. He ordered a specific scan the others hadn't, and it turned out to be a much trickier issue with my appendix. His calm explanation of what needed to happen next cut right through my panic. He fixed it all in one go, and honestly, I feel like he figured out a puzzle everyone else missed.
Getting my gallbladder out was my first ever surgery, so I was pretty keyed up. The whole thing was surprisingly straightforward. Dr. Manmohan walked me through each step without rushing, and the surgery itself went just as he said it would. I was home the next day, and recovery was easier than I'd braced for. It’s a relief when something that sounds big just… happens smoothly.
I was dreading the hospital stay more than the operation. But the team at Nanavati Max really made a difference. The nurses were on it, and even the person who brought the meals was kind. The place is clean and quiet, which helped a lot. Parking was a bit of a hunt in the morning, I won't lie, but once inside, the atmosphere was calm. It felt like everyone, from Dr. Manmohan to the front desk, was working together.
What stuck with me was how Dr. Manmohan talked to my family. My wife was more nervous than I was, and he took the time to answer all her questions in the waiting area, using plain language—no confusing medical jargon. He has this quiet, direct way about him that makes you feel you're in steady hands. It wasn't just about the surgery; he made sure we were all okay with the plan.
My shoulder pain was dismissed as a simple strain for months. Dr. Ali was the first to really listen. He ordered specific scans and figured out it was a tricky rotator cuff tear that had started to heal wrong. His rehab plan was tough, honestly, but he explained why each exercise mattered. A year later, I'm finally back to playing tennis without that constant ache.
After my knee surgery, I was expecting the usual, boring physio sessions. Dr. Ali's routine was different. He got me moving in ways that actually made sense for getting back to my job on a construction site. No fuss, just clear instructions and steady progress. It was straightforward, and my recovery was exactly on schedule.
I was pretty anxious about starting rehab. The place itself helped calm me down—it's clean, modern, and the receptionist remembered my name after the first visit. The assistants who helped with my exercises were always patient, even when I was struggling to get a movement right. It felt like a team effort, not just a doctor's appointment.
Look, I was a terrible patient. Frustrated, skeptical, and in a lot of pain. Dr. Ali never got flustered. He'd crack a dry joke, acknowledge when something was going to be uncomfortable, and somehow managed to motivate me without any of the fake cheerleading. I trusted him because he felt real.
My hands were shaking in the waiting room. I'd never seen a psychiatrist before and was convinced I'd sound ridiculous. Dr. Ajit didn't rush me. He just listened, and when I stumbled over my words, he helped me find the right ones. He explained things in a way that didn't make me feel broken, just... understood. I left feeling lighter, like I'd finally put down a bag I didn't know I was carrying.
Needed help. Anxiety was messing with my work. Booked an appointment with Dr. Ajit at Nanavati. He was clear, asked direct questions, and laid out a straightforward plan. No fluff. The medication he suggested works. I'm sleeping better and can focus. Follow-ups are efficient. Got what I needed.
It took me a long time to gather the courage to seek help. I'm a quiet person, and the idea of talking about my feelings was daunting. Dr. Ajit has a very gentle way about him. He never pushed, just created a space where I felt safe to speak, even if it was just a little. His kindness made all the difference. I am slowly finding my way back.
What a difference! For years, I just thought this constant low-grade dread was normal. My first session with Dr. Ajit was like someone finally turned on the lights. He connected dots I never saw, and the treatment plan actually makes sense. I have energy again! I'm telling my brother to book an appointment—parking's a nightmare, but it's so worth it.
For months, I was in pain and no one could figure out why. Scans kept coming back 'clear.' Dr. Daksh actually sat with my old images, then suggested one more specific type of scan. He found a tiny, tricky vascular issue near my spine that everyone else missed. The procedure to fix it was scary to think about, but he explained it like he was drawing a map. I'm finally getting my life back.
I needed a liver biopsy. Honestly, I was nervous at first, but the whole thing was so straightforward. Dr. Daksh and his team got me in, did the procedure—it felt quick—and I was home the same afternoon with clear instructions. The parking garage was full, which was annoying, but that was the hardest part of the day. Everything else just went smoothly.
The hospital itself is nice, but what stood out was the team. The nurse who prepped me, Anjali, saw I was anxious and just talked to me about my kids while she set things up. Even the person who brought me tea afterwards was kind. It felt like a group of people working together, not just a doctor doing a job. That made a big difference.
Look, doctors can be intimidating. Dr. Daksh isn't. He's got this calm way of talking. Before my embolization, he didn't just list risks; he asked if I had any trips planned and worked the recovery timeline around it. He remembered my daughter's name from a prior chat. It felt like I was talking to a very smart, focused person who also saw me as a person.
