Patient Experience
My wife was so scared when they said she needed the transplant. Dr. Prakash sat with us in his office for nearly an hour, drawing diagrams on a notepad to explain exactly what would happen, step by step. He never rushed us. When we had questions at odd hours, he or his team called back. It wasn't an easy road, but knowing the plan and feeling heard made all the difference. We're home now, and she's getting stronger every day.
My son needed the procedure. Dr. Prakash was clear from the start: he told us the risks, the timeline, what success looked like. No sugar-coating. That directness was what we needed to make decisions. The hospital parking is always full, but that's a small thing. What mattered was the care. The team was coordinated, and Dr. Prakash's updates were brief but gave us the facts. It worked. My boy is in remission.
I was so quiet through all of this, just overwhelmed. Dr. Prakash has a very calm way about him. He'd ask me, 'Do you understand?' and wait for my nod. He remembered small things, like asking after my other daughter who was staying with relatives. It felt like he was caring for our whole family, not just treating a disease. The kindness in his team's routine actions—that's what I'll remember.
After years of treatment, we finally got to Dr. Prakash for the transplant. What a difference! He had energy, a real 'let's get this done' attitude that matched our hope. When we hit a bump post-transplant, he adjusted the plan immediately. The relief we feel now is huge. You can tell he loves this work, loves solving the puzzle. My brother is finally turning a corner, and we're so, so glad we came here.
My case was a bit of a puzzle for a while. I kept getting dismissed elsewhere with vague answers, but Dr. Gayatri actually sat down with my history and listened. She ordered a specific scan other doctors hadn't thought of, and it finally gave us a clear picture. It wasn't the easiest news, but having a real diagnosis after so long meant we could finally make a plan. She walked me through every option without rushing.
I was pretty nervous about my laparoscopy, even though everyone said it was routine. Dr. Gayatri had a very direct way of explaining exactly what would happen, step by step, which actually calmed me down. The day of, everything just... worked. I was in and out of Nanavati, and recovery was exactly as she said it would be. No surprises, which is exactly what I wanted.
Honestly, the parking at Nanavati was a nightmare that morning, and I arrived flustered for my antenatal check-up. But the nurse at Dr. Gayatri's clinic saw I was stressed and just had a very calm way about her. The whole clinic felt quiet and orderly, not chaotic. Even the way the receptionist handled my paperwork made a difference. It turned a rough start into a perfectly fine appointment.
What I remember most is how she talked to me after my surgery, when I was still groggy. She didn't just speak to my husband. She held my hand, got right at my eye level, and said my name until I focused. Her voice was so steady. It's a small thing, but in that moment, it felt like the most important thing—that she was seeing *me*, not just a patient in a bed.
Our son, Rohan, was diagnosed when he was just six. The world stopped. We were terrified, lost in a sea of medical terms we didn't understand. Dr. Atul sat with us in his office at Nanavati Max for what felt like an hour, drawing diagrams on a notepad, explaining the transplant process in words we could finally grasp. He never rushed us. He remembered Rohan's favorite cartoon character and would ask about it during rounds. There were hard days, scary nights in the ICU, but Dr. Atul's team was always there, always calm. Seeing Rohan's blood counts finally recover wasn't just a number on a chart; it was our little boy coming back to us. We owe Dr. Atul more than words can say.
Needed a bone marrow transplant. Researched specialists. Chose Dr. Atul at Nanavati Max. Consultation was clear, no sugar-coating. Explained the risks, the process, the timeline. The team was efficient. Communication was good—nurses always knew the plan. Had some nausea post-transplant, managed quickly. Parking at the hospital is a nightmare, but that's not the doctor's fault. Procedure went as expected. Follow-ups are strict, which I appreciate. I'm recovering. Dr. Atul knows his field. Would recommend.
It was a very difficult time for our family. My husband was the patient, and everything felt so uncertain. Dr. Atul has a very gentle way about him. He listens, you can see he's really thinking. He didn't make grand promises, just explained what they would try to do, step by step. The care on the BMT unit was very kind. Even when we had to wait a bit for a scheduled scan, someone always came to explain the delay. Now, my husband is home, getting stronger each day. We are so quietly grateful for Dr. Atul's careful approach and the dignity he showed us throughout.
Wow, what a journey! I was diagnosed with AML and told I needed a transplant, fast. I'm a pretty active guy, and the thought of being laid up was awful. From day one, Dr. Atul was like, 'Right, here's the plan. We're going to get you through this.' His energy was contagious! The team at Nanavati Max is fantastic—they even humored my terrible jokes. Yeah, the food could be better, and the transplant itself was no picnic, but man, it worked! My latest results are clean! I just saw Dr. Atul for a check-up, and we high-fived. I feel like I got my life back. Huge, huge thanks to him and everyone there!
Needed a BMT and my schedule was insane. Dr. Dhrumin got straight to the point, explained my options clearly without the fluff, and the team at Nanavati Max ran a tight ship. I'm back at work in a timeframe I didn't think was possible. Efficient and effective.
After five years navigating this condition with Dr. Dhrumin, you learn what real care looks like. It's not just the big transplant day; it's the consistent follow-ups, the way he remembers your history, and the trust that lets you sleep at night. The hospital's changed a bit over the years, but his approach hasn't. That reliability is everything.
Look, I was scared. Bone marrow transplant sounds huge. But Dr. Dhrumin? He cut through the noise. Told me how it was, what to expect, no sugarcoating. Yeah, the waiting room at Nanavati can get crowded, but once you're in with him, he's focused. Got the job done. I'm good now.
I'll be honest, the first consultation I was a wreck. My hands were shaking. Dr. Dhrumin just sat and let me get it all out, then walked me through every single step, drawing diagrams on his notepad. The day of the transplant at Nanavati, he popped in before dawn just to check in. There were tough weeks after, but his team was always there, adjusting things. It felt like a journey we were on, not just a procedure I got.
My local doctors were stumped for months. I was just getting sicker, and it was terrifying. Dr. Amith at Nanavati sat with my scans for a long time, then explained a rare vascular complication in my liver that everyone else had missed. He didn't sugarcoat how tricky the transplant would be, but he laid out a clear plan. That honesty, when I was so scared, meant everything. I'm here because he saw what others didn't.
I needed a liver biopsy and was pretty nervous about it. Dr. Amith's team scheduled it without any fuss. The procedure itself was quick—in and out the same day. He called me himself that evening with the initial results, which was a nice surprise. It was straightforward, no drama, exactly what you hope for with something 'routine'.
Look, the parking at Nanavati is always a hassle, I won't lie. But once you're inside, it makes a difference. The nurses on the transplant floor were really kind, especially when I was disoriented after surgery. One of them even helped my wife find a decent cup of coffee at 2 AM. The place runs smoothly, and that support lets a doctor like Dr. Amith focus on the medicine.
What I remember most is how Dr. Amith talked to me, not just at me. Before my transplant, he'd pull up a chair, ask about my family, and then get into the medical details. He has this calm way of explaining things that cuts through the panic. You feel like a person in his care, not just a set of lab reports.
