My father had a Video Assisted Thoracoscopic Surgery on ** in Max Smart ,Saket Hospital under Dr. Shaiwal Khandelwal Sir. Now it has already been six months and my father had a remarkable recovery post surgery. Sir has helped make this recovery possible both with his tecnical prowess during surgery and calm and encouraging demeanor post surgery which played a huge role for a patient like my father who was literally battling depression due to his long stint in ICU. Dr. Shaiwal Khandelwal Sir motivated my father and talked to him in a reassuring manner before surgery making him at ease. He painstakingly spent time talking to us and trying to understand each facet of the case and further explained the surgery and it's risks candidly to me and my mother. On the day of the surgery he battled for 6 hours in the operating room clearing blood clots or hemothorax. After the surgery he immediately sought us out and gave us a detailed review of everything that went on during the surgery. After that he spent 3 extra hours to make sure that my father was properly situated in ICU. His personal initiative and attention to detail soothed our frayed nerves. His advice post surgery and recommendations helped us greatly in making sure that my father made a full recovery. In this entire scary hospitalization episode which was frought with multiple issues Dr, Shaiwal Khandelwal remains inour memory the shining example of professionalism and humility that we wish for in our medical professionals.
