Patient Experience
I needed my tonsils out as an adult, which I heard is rough. I was pretty nervous about the recovery. Dr. Harshad walked me through exactly what to expect, no sugar-coating. The surgery itself was fine, and his team called the next day to check on me. The pain was bad for a week, just like he said it would be, but knowing that upfront made it manageable. Back to eating solid food now, no problems.
Parking at Nanavati is always a mission, I had to circle for a while. But once I got inside for my sinus consultation, it was smooth. The front desk lady found my file quickly even though I was flustered and late. The clinic area was quiet and clean, which helped calm me down. The nurse who did my initial check was really kind, explained each step before she did it.
Look, I'm not great with doctors. I get anxious. Dr. Harshad has this very calm, direct way of talking. He didn't rush me. When he explained my deviated septum and the surgery option, he drew a simple diagram on his notepad. He asked if I understood, and actually waited for my real answer. Felt like he was talking *with* me, not *at* me. That made a huge difference.
I'd been to three different doctors about this persistent cough and fatigue. Everyone said it was a bad chest infection. Dr. Sudhir was the first one who actually listened to the whole timeline. He ordered a specific scan the others hadn't, and it turned out to be something much rarer. It was scary, but finally having a real answer and a clear plan made all the difference. He just didn't give up.
I needed a bronchoscopy, which honestly sounded terrifying. Dr. Sudhir walked me through every single step beforehand, even drew a little diagram. The day of, the team was so calm. I remember feeling the sedative kick in and then, bam, I was awake and it was done. The whole thing was so straightforward. I was home by lunchtime, just a bit groggy.
The parking at Nanavati is always a bit of a hunt, I won't lie. But once I got inside for my appointment with Dr. Sudhir, the whole place felt less stressful. The receptionist remembered my name from the call, and the nurse who did my vitals was cracking a joke about the weather. It's a small thing, but when you're worried about your breathing, those little human moments help you relax.
What I liked most about Dr. Sudhir is that he never talks down to you. He sits right there, looks you in the eye, and explains things in a way that actually makes sense. I was really nervous about starting a new inhaler, and he must have noticed. He just said, 'Let's go over it one more time, no rush.' He has this quiet way of making you feel like you're the only patient he has that day.
My back surgery recovery was rough. The pain was constant, and I was scared I'd just have to live with it. Dr. Nana listened, really listened, to what I was feeling. She didn't just throw pills at me. We talked about different options, and she set up a plan that actually worked. It's been a slow process, but for the first time in months, I can see a way forward. The pain isn't gone, but it's manageable now, and I know what to do.
Severe knee arthritis. Could barely walk. Saw Dr. Nana at Nanavati. She explained the injection procedure clearly. It was quick. Parking at the hospital was a hassle that day, but the appointment itself was fine. A few days later, the stiffness started to ease. I'm not running marathons, but I can go to the market and climb stairs at home without that sharp pain. It's made a real difference in my daily life.
I was so nervous before my spinal procedure. The whole idea was frightening. But Dr. Nana has this very calm way about her. She answered all my questions, even the silly ones, without making me feel rushed. The team was good too. The relief after wasn't instant, but within a week, the awful sciatica pain that had been shooting down my leg for a year just... faded. I actually slept through the night. I feel like I have my life back.
After my hip replacement, the hospital pain control was okay, but going home was scary. Dr. Nana's plan was brilliant. It wasn't just medication; it was a schedule, some gentle movements, and clear instructions on what was normal pain and what wasn't. I had a couple of rough days, but I never felt out of control or alone. I'm six weeks out now, and my recovery is ahead of where I thought I'd be. So grateful we found her.
Our 8-year-old son was diagnosed with aplastic anemia, and our world just stopped. Dr. Shubhranshu at Nanavati Max was the first doctor who made us feel like we could breathe again. He explained the bone marrow transplant process to us, not just as a procedure, but as a path forward for our boy. He even took the time to talk to our son directly, in a way he could understand, which meant everything. The whole team was amazing, but it was Dr. Shubhranshu's calm confidence that got us through the worst days. We're six months post-transplant now, and our son is back to playing football. We owe that to him.
I'm three weeks out from my transplant at Nanavati Max. The first week was rough, I won't lie. But what stood out was how Dr. Shubhranshu and his team managed the pain and the side effects. They didn't just throw medicine at it; they were constantly adjusting things based on how I felt. The recovery feels like a slow climb, but they're with you on every step. Dr. Shubhranshu checks in daily, even on weekends, and actually listens to your answers. It makes you feel like you're not just a patient in a bed.
Had my BMT with Dr. Shubhranshu. He knows his stuff. Straight talker, which I appreciated. Got me through it. Hospital's good, parking's a nightmare though.
I remember sitting in the waiting room at Nanavati Max, my hands were shaking. Leukemia. The word kept echoing. When Dr. Shubhranshu walked in, he had this quiet, focused energy. He laid out the bone marrow transplant plan on a notepad, drawing simple diagrams. "This is the mountain," he said, pointing to the transplant itself. "My job is to get you to the base camp safely. Your job is to climb." That stuck with me. There were long nights, moments of fear, and yes, the food got repetitive. But his team was always there. A year later, I'm back at work. I still have that notepad drawing. It wasn't just a medical treatment; it felt like a carefully guided journey back to myself.
My GP sent me to Dr. Harish after months of weird, unexplained fatigue. I'd seen a couple of other cardiologists who said my tests were 'borderline.' Dr. Harish looked at the same numbers, asked me a few more questions about my family history, and ordered a specific, more advanced scan. He called me himself with the results—it was a rare valve issue that everyone else had missed. He drew me a picture to explain it, which helped a lot. Starting treatment for something you finally have a name for is a huge relief.
I needed a cardiac catheterization, which honestly scared me. The day of, parking at Nanavati was a nightmare—had to circle for ages. But once I got inside, everything was straightforward. Dr. Harish's team was calm and clear about each step. The procedure itself was quick, and I was awake for it. He talked me through what he was seeing on the screen in real time. I was home the same afternoon with just a tiny bandage. It felt very routine for them, which made it less scary for me.
What stood out for me was the whole environment. My wife and I were pretty anxious before my angioplasty. The nurses in the Cath Lab were really kind; one even joked with me to get my mind off things. The room was surprisingly calm and clean. Afterwards, recovering in the room, the staff checked on me without being intrusive. It didn't feel like a factory. Dr. Harish is clearly the captain, but having a good, supportive crew around him makes a real difference when you're feeling vulnerable.
I was nervous at my first consultation. Dr. Harish has this quiet way about him—he listens more than he talks initially. He didn't rush me when I was explaining my palpitations. When he did explain what he thought was going on, he used simple terms and checked that I understood. He has a dry sense of humor, too, which cut through the tension. I never felt like just another case file on his desk. You get the sense he's actually thinking about you, not just your chart.
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.
