Deenanath Mangeshkar Hospital, Erandwane

My wife is suffering from cervical and lumber disc bulge. Last year she started feeling severe pain in her neck and right shoulder. She was admitted and diagnosed with Cervical disc and then treating doctor suggested her surgery and mentioned that there coul be complications. Same day she asked for discharged and got it very next day. Hospital treatment did help a little with pain but was still there.This year again around same time she started feeling severe pain in her neck and right shoulder, mostly right shoulder. Moveing her right hand was becoming too much painful for her. We consulted almost 4-5 spine specialists. The last one Dr. Deogaonkar assured us that her cervical disc bulge shoud not cause such pain and she does not need surgery. He further referred us to Dr. Uttam Sidhaye for pain management.He was accurate about cervical disc diagnosis and his advice really helped us. My wife had Tendonitis in her right shoulder and she is doing good after PRP.I am really thankful to Dr. Deogaonkar for his accurate diagnosis and advise.

If you are looking out for a maxillofacial surgeon, so here is the one Dr. pushkar waknis and his team member dr gandhali limaye.

My whole surgery took place in 3-3.5 hours,

In every appointment they both used to talk to me in a very enthusiastic way and they welcome their every patient with a great and warm heart.

I had an Asymmetrical face dr jayesh rahalkar was doing my braces treatment he recommended me to dr waknis name.

Since very first meeting they both have explained me the procedure of surgery, they both are really supportive and calm all though i used to ask them a lot of questions but they never get tired or irritated they used to give me the full attention with perfect answer with medical explanation.

They both had supported me in my ups and down.

Dr waknis is a very cleaver, smart, confident and strong personality with a big heart.

And dr gandhali what can i say about her.... She's the sweetest dr i ever met. She is so soo calm and cool she always use to answer my queries and many more things, She is beauty with brain.

Initially i was very scared at the time of my surgery, but they both did a very good job.

Our face is very important part of our body and to gain confidence with my face they both has helped me alot. Yes they are the one who you can trust.

Thank you so much dr for every thing which you did for me...

Even i feel blessed for being your patient.

Thanks from the bottom of my heart 💞

Very happy to write a review about Dr. Pushkar Waknis.

**Wonderful and warm experience with Dr. Pushkar Waknis who properly diagnosed my infection and swelling condition and took immediate steps for early surgery.

**Dr. Waknis is ****** ************** sensitive, sincere, dedicated, **** **** ************* ******* ** ***** He is a straight forward person and a fast communicator. He replies to our questions and queries in minutes. He is very honest in clearly explaining the medical condition and suggests practical solutions than giving false hopes as far as my case is concerned.

**Dr. Waknis performed my Lymph Node + Sub- Mandibular Gland Excision Surgery in January 2022. My surgery was successful and I am recovering day after day.

**My Pain Story begins in April 2021. After extraction of Wisdom Tooth from a local dentist, I experienced continuous pain in my right facial region for weeks, then months. There was infection due to Wisdom Tooth removal.

**I took consultation from same dentist, other qualified ENT doctors however no proper diagnosis of pain and infection could be done.

Did all tests, investigation as suggested by Doctors. But nothing worked.

**Luckily, came across Dr. Pushkar Waknis in December 2021. He correctly diagnosed the swelling and suggested MRI followed by Surgery if needed. As my infection had spread till now, MRI report suggested urgent Surgery.

Under his expertise and skill, my operation was successful and I am recovering now.

**I am thankful to Dr. Pushkar Waknis for his kind guidance, support and treatment. I would also like to thank Dr. Kripa who is also very kind and friendly and took very good care of me during follow-ups.

**Looking forward for Autologous Fat Transfer Treatment by him next year.

**I highly recommend Dr. Pushkar Waknis for all Oral Maxillofacial Issues. You are totally safe and in right hands.

**Thank You. **

I am Rashmi Bhondwe, I was suffering through severe pain in my wisdom tooth. I was recommended his name for wisdom tooth extraction as my case was a bit complicated. I am very happy with the way he explained me all the things and made me comfortable for this critical procedure. He conducted the entire procedure in a very proficient manner. It was indeed a smooth process for me and didn't even realized that it was a critical one. Dr. Gandhali gave me detail instructions about precautions to be taken post procedure.

I specifically want to thanks Dr. Waknis Sir and his team for their caring and cooperation during this critical period of covid19.

Thanks again.

i was suffering from back pain, radiating from lower back to my right leg I wasn't able to walk properly. was undergoing physiotherapy sessions but it wasn't of much help, then I met Dr. Sabnis, where he listened to my concern, explained all the reasons and criticalities then suggested surgery after seeing MRI and X ray. but I wasn't i favour of surgery so thought of going ahead with root block injection from him. that definitely worked well, my pain was gone in 2 weeks. but as sir suggested it was just a temporary solution to pain,so ultimately I had to undergo L4-L5 Decompression surgery. the operation went smooth and hassle free. Sir was available all the time for his valuable suggestions and post operative feedbacks. I am continuing with the physiotherapy sessions inorder to regain my back and hip muscle strength.I would recommend Dr. Sabnis to anyone who is suffering from spine related issues.Thank you again Sir.

From few months I could not stand, walk or sit properly due to L4-L5 disc bulged issue & took various treatments for this like physiotherapy, chiropractic but there was only temporary effect.

Then I met Dr Ashutosh Sabnis.

I am deeply grateful to Dr Sabnis Sir for the treatment I received.

From the very first consultation he gave sufficient time to listen to my concerns, explain my condition in detail and walk me through all possible treatment options.

In D. M. Hospital I underwent spine surgery on the 19th Aug 2025, and I am extremely thankful to Dr. Sabnis Sir from consultation to surgery and post-care, the entire experience has been excellent.

He is easily available on mobile and replying queries.

I would highly recommend Dr Sabnis to anyone in need of spinal treatment or surgery.

It is very rare that you come across good stories about the medical field these days...and then you come across doctors like Dr. Page...

The good Doc has gone out of his way to see a patient by visiting home...when we could not take my old father in law to a clinic...and this not once but twice, a few years apart. His diagnosis is bang on too....will not get into details...but he has also prevented unnecessary procedures for my brother.

Wish they make more like him, people will be less sceptic about going to doctors.

Awesome doctor!

Dr Jaydeep Date performed Left Ureteral Reimplant surgery in 2019. My mother suffered with many damages after hysterectomy and the ureter was damaged most. We showed the history to Dr Date as the earlier surgeries were performed by other surgeons. Right from first visit, Dr Date was confident and determined that this complicated surgery was completely possible. After surgery, his calculations and plans were executed exactly as described in first visit. Their team was very helpful too. With Dr Date's expertise and Deenanath's staff/facilities the surgery and recovery went perfectly.
