I was suffering from stomach pain over a month, I was not able to eat anything without water after every bite. Also I was suffering with loose motions and vomiting. I went to many doctors but was of no use.
One day my friend suggested me Dr Abhijit, I visited him. He diagnosed me with care and gave me moral support. After taking the medicine for 15 days I started feeling better. He is very kind, helpful, knowledgeable and experienced doctor.

Dr Abhijit is an amazing human with excellent expertise of his field. The way he treated my mother, I couldn't have asked for anything else.
His friendly behaviour and smiley face gave my mother the confidence to fight against the disease. Treatment was of high quality and as per requirement.
Cant thank him enough. He is truly justifying his duties with all his heart.
I really appreciate all his help and support.

Dr. Abhjeet Whatkar is a very competent surgeon. Not only is he prompt in attending to the patients, but has also has the extraordinary talent to put the patient to ease. His deployment of the technique of verbal anaesthesia while performing the surgery under local anaesthesia, soothens the patient. Unlike most doctors, he has excellent communication skills and replies to WhatsApp messages in no time, thereby establishing a healthy doctor-patient relationship.
Overall an excellent surgeon and equally a great human being.

Recently my mother who was quite unwell was admitted to Noble Hospital, Magarpatta, Pune
On the second day of her admission, she was diagnosed with abscess in her stomach and we were advised for an immediate surgery. We were introduced to Dr Abhijit Whatkar and told that he will operate her. We all were a bit traumatised hearing about the operation but it all started with the 1st experience with the Doctor. He patiently explained us what was the problem and how will he operate. Imagine how comforting it was for us
Despite the fact that my motherโs age (77 years) was a big risk factor but to our delight the surgery was successful
Further, he spent quality time post operation explaining us with photos and video of what all happened in the OT after 4 hours of hectic work. The operation started at 11 pm and ended at 330 am. My mother was thereafter shifted to the ICU. To our surprise 8 am in the morning, we met the Doctor, looking fresh as a daisy, in the ICU to check on my mother. Must say he is absolutely driven and dedicated to his work.
My mother spent 20 days in the Hospital and with each passing day, the treatment, support & response Dr Whatkar provided was exceptional and my entire family is all praises for him. In the hospital, we found him the only person who is able to understand the mental state of the patientโs family and thus build trust & transparency with them. A true attitude of Sewa Bhawana
During the interactions, we have actually found a friend. Frankly as a family we fall short of words to thank Dr Abhijit Whatkar for everything
We highly recommend Dr Abhijit Whatkar for his area of specialisation
We wish him the very best for all his future endeavours

I consider myself Lucky enough to consult Dr. Abhijit Watkar, Surgeon, who is not only a brilliant Surgeon but a great human-being. His way of treating the patience is highly commendable. During my recovery period, many of my friends n relations visited me n everyone of them had a horrible story either of Doctor or hospital or both but in contrast all of they were astonished when I narrated my story regarding treatment by Dr. Abhijit Watkar n his positive attitude towards patient and his selfless service.
I wish him all the best n today I am much-much better within a short span becoz of Dr. Abhijit n his treatment when I was given to understand that it may take much more time.
His whole team also deserves appreciation for their polite and co-operative attitude towards patient which I observed during recovery n daily dressings and I am sure it is becoz of their Surgeon leader Dr. Abhijit Watkar and my sincere thanx to whole team with special thanx to Dr. Abhijit Watkar.
Finally, my request is please keep it up, Sir, n stay Blessed.
Thanx n Regards

I consulted Dr Abhijeet for my mother's hernia condition in Jan 2019. He advised for surgery on 26th Jan in Noble hospital. We got admitted on 25th morning as per his advice and all the tests were conducted. The doctor did not come for a visit the entire day and in the evening he informs me over phone that he made a mistake and forgot that the hospital only takes emergency cases on 26th January so the surgery cannot be done and if I insist on 26th Jan then I'll have to shell out 30k extra OT charges which would not be covered by my insurance. We were completely taken aback by this and the only way out was to get discharged and again get readmitted two days later for the surgery. The doctor didn't even bother to visit and just gave a casual apology on the phone after which he stopped attending my calls. Imagine the plight of the patient who is anyway nervous about a surgery which is to happen and then this kind of an incident can be so scarring. We had to pay the hospital expenses for that day of around 10k from our own pocket ****** ******* ** *** ******* ******** My poor mother came back home with me, we had to again find another doctor, I had planned my leaves based on surgery dates and all went for a toss. *** ******* ***** ** *** ******** ******** *** the way he didn't take any responsibility *** *** ******** even refusing to answer my calls which is even more appalling. I don't know about his surgical skills so can't comment on that but personally won't recommend him to anyone.

I found Dr. Abhijit is very experienced and friendly doctor. I took my mother for Hernia treatment. He nicely explained the problem after diagnosis and process of treatment and surgery. He was very honest and shared actuals with us on every stage till surgery was conducted. Proper tests and consultation with his fellow team was done to fully understand the case and surgery was very well planned after considering all possibilities โฆ and approach for dealing those was planned in advance. My mother is quite satisfied with multiple post surgery consultations and able to get all her concerns and queries being addressed properly, with proper guidance and precautions to help her heal faster.
