Patient Experience
Had a persistent cough for months that was messing with my sleep and work. Saw Dr. Salil at Nanavati. He listened, asked the right questions, and ordered a specific scan. Diagnosis was clear, treatment plan was straightforward. Follow-up was efficient. Cough is gone, I'm sleeping. That's what I needed.
My father was admitted with a severe chest infection. We were very worried. Dr. Salil explained everything to us in a calm, quiet way. He didn't rush us. He checked on him personally, multiple times a day. His gentle manner made a difficult time much easier. Dad is home and recovering well.
After years of struggling with breathing issues and seeing different doctors, I finally got some real answers with Dr. Salil! He actually figured out it was a specific type of asthma that others had missed. The new inhaler he prescribed? Night and day difference. I can walk up stairs without stopping. I feel like I have my life back!
Went in for what I thought was just a bad cold that wouldn't quit. The wait to see Dr. Salil was a little long, but once I was in, he was very focused. He spotted something in my history that concerned him and sent me for tests right away. Caught a minor issue early. Straight talk, no sugar-coating, but also very reassuring. Glad I went.
At my age, one worries about being a bother. Dr. Vaibhav never made me feel that way. He explained my treatment in simple terms, and his manner was so calm. The nurses at Nanavati were kind, and even when I was anxious, he took the time to reassure me. I felt in safe hands.
Diagnosis was a shock, but I needed clear facts and a plan. Dr. Vaibhav delivered. Appointments started on time, communication was direct, and my questions got straight answers. The treatment he recommended is working, and that's what matters most to me.
Look, cancer is scary. I was pretty blunt with Dr. Vaibhav about my fears and my low tolerance for medical jargon. He got it. He cut through the noise, gave it to me straight, and we made decisions together. No sugar-coating, just solid care.
I remember sitting in the waiting room at Nanavati, my mind racing. My first meeting with Dr. Vaibhav changed that. He didn't just look at my scans; he looked at me. He asked about my family, my work. When he laid out the options, he included how each would affect my daily life. There was one week where the side effects hit hard—I called his team, and he adjusted things the very next day. It wasn't just about the medicine; it was about getting through it.
Our daughter had been sick for months, and no one could figure out why. We were terrified. Dr. Kant didn't just look at the charts; he listened to everything, even the little things we thought were unimportant. He ordered a specific test other doctors had brushed off, and that's how we got the real diagnosis. It was scary, but finally having a name for it and a real plan... that meant we could start fighting.
My son needed a standard bone marrow biopsy. I was more of a wreck than he was, honestly. Dr. Kant walked us through every single step before they even started, using simple words and a little drawing. The procedure itself was quick, and my kid came out asking for a juice box. It felt so normal in a situation that isn't normal at all. We were in and out in a few hours.
Look, Nanavati is a big hospital and parking is always a nightmare. But once you get to Dr. Kant's floor, it's different. The nurses at the front desk remembered my son's name the second time we came. They have these little stickers for the kids, and the waiting area has toys that aren't all broken. It doesn't fix why you're there, but it takes a tiny bit of the edge off on a really hard day.
What I'll remember most is how Dr. Kant talks to my child, not just to me. He gets down on his level, asks about school or a cartoon character on his t-shirt before diving into the medical stuff. He never talks in that fake, overly cheerful voice some people use with sick kids. He's just real with him. That respect made my son trust him, which made everything easier.
My case was a real puzzle for a while. Other doctors were scratching their heads, but Dr. Hunaid pieced it together. He sat with me for nearly an hour, drawing diagrams on a notepad to explain how a rare vascular issue was affecting my liver. It was scary, but his clarity cut through the fear. He had a plan when no one else did.
I needed a liver biopsy and was pretty nervous at first. Dr. Hunaid made it feel like just another Tuesday. He talked me through each step as it happened, even joked about the weather. The whole thing was over so fast and smoothly, I was back home having lunch, wondering what I'd been so worried about.
The hospital itself is impressive, sure, but it was the people who made the difference. The nurses on Dr. Hunaid's team remembered my name and my wife's coffee preference. Even when the parking lot was full and I was running late for a check-up, the front desk lady calmed me down and got me sorted without any fuss.
What stays with me is how Dr. Hunaid talks to you. He never rushes. Before my transplant, he’d pull up a chair, look me right in the eye, and ask how I was *really* doing—not just my liver, but me. In a place where you feel like a set of charts, he made me feel like a person.
At my age, one becomes rather anxious about hospital visits. I was referred to Dr. Parul for a scan, and I must say, the entire process was handled with such care. The waiting area was comfortable, and though I had to wait a little while, the staff kept me informed. Dr. Parul herself explained the procedure in simple terms, which put my mind at ease. Her manner was very kind and professional. I left feeling well looked after.
Needed a detailed scan. Went to Nanavati Max. Dr. Parul was clear, efficient, and answered all my questions directly. Got the results explained without unnecessary jargon. The process was straightforward. Good experience.
I was quite nervous before my appointment. The environment in radiology can feel a bit cold, but Dr. Parul had such a gentle way about her. She took a moment to ask if I was comfortable and listened patiently. When she discussed the images, she pointed things out so I could understand. It felt like she really saw me, not just the scan. Thank you for your kindness.
What a weight off my shoulders! I'd been worrying about these results for weeks. Dr. Parul was fantastic—she walked me through everything on the screen, showed me exactly what was going on, and her explanation was so clear. I finally have answers and a plan. The whole team at Nanavati was great, but she really made the difference. So relieved!
