Mumbai Piles Clinic, Chembur

I had met Dr Sambit Patnaik for first time at his clinic in Jan 2022 after two years of suffering from piles. He had told me clearly that I had fissures which were a kind of injury and not a disease per se and that we must treat the injury before it turns into disease like abscess or fistula. I was so convinced that I wanted to get rid of it. It was supposed to be a one minute laser procedure and discharge in one hour and recovery by next day. We processed the Cashless and insurance company denied covering laser expenses and so my husband backed out as he didn't want to pay out of pocket. Then my husband wanted a second opinion and took me to another much senior surgeon in Chembur and he told me that medicines are sufficient and that I don't need any Surgical procedure. Then with the Medicines I was alright till mid of March 2022 when suddenly one night I developed severe pain with swelling in the bottom and next day I was not able to pass motions or sit. By evening I developed fever and vomiting. My husband wanted me to go to the other surgeon and take medicines again but I knew this was something really serious so I called my mother and went to Dr Sambit Patnaik. He checked me and confirmed the worse that my fissure had turned into a massive Perianal abscess. We rushed to do an MRI scan and Dr told me that an emergency draining of pus is required and the fistula will be dealt later with seton and laser. The incision and drainage of abscess was done on 25th March 2022 and after a gruelling one month of dressings and pain and tolerating the seton, my FiLAC laser procedure was done on 27th April 2022. I am finally feeling better. One bad decision of not listening to Dr Sambit Patnaik and trying to save some money led me to spend three times this time as the injury turned disease let alone the suffering and agony. Never neglect your health to save money or some bad advise that sounds easy and seems easy in short term

I have become a fan of Dr Sambit Patnaik..we had spent sleepless nights owing to bleeding of dad while passing stools and also in his sleep. He is 80 and had advanced senile dementia with Alzheimer's and a known cardiac patient with high BP and sugars. Now he is on heavy antiplatelets for all this and 25 medicines per day. No doctor would touch him for surgery as it as a life risk. So we had to wait silently as dad suffered and lost blood. No solution in sight we gave him 30 blood transfusion over 5 months. Lastly my Head office in UAE informed me about the Indian surgeon Dr Sambit Patnaik who had treated the company owner and very influential Sheikh of UAE. After a struggle of 3 weeks we could get appointment of Dr Sambit Patnaik who advised us to get him with the intention that he will operate dad when there is a possibility. So we had to plan to move him in an ambulance to Dr Sambit Patnaik's hospital. Once there Dr checked him and said that he will do laser procedure for him immediately and he can home in the evening. No need to any anesthesia or injections. We were surprised and didn't know what to do. Then Drs team spoke to all our other doctors and physicians. They also couldn't believe. So Dr Sambit Patnaik asked his cardiologist and Physician to come and be physically present to see how it's done. The procedure was done next day with special standby of dad's doctors in the OT. It took 20 minutes to finish the procedure and close the case. Then dad was moved to the room and discharged in the evening without any medication. All this was in month of Jan 2022 and we went today to shower our goodwill and blessings on Dr Sambit Patnaik for saving my ailing dad and not drop of blood has passed since. We are so relieved. Thanking my company for this lead that was akin to The Almighty coming for us

Hilarious how doctors are when it comes to explaining technology when they have no experience of it. I started searching for laser surgeon to treat my pilonidal Sinus and anal fistula about 3 years back in 2019. I went to whosoever possible by checking hours online. Being an engineer from IIT I did know a thing or two about lasers. I went to a healing clinic chain at their branch located in Navi Mumbai. Turned out later that the doctor sitting there is an ayurvedic surgeon. Then i went to their other branch in Mumbai and found that they engage salaried Doctors in name of main doctor and hence none could demonstrate a laser machine or were technically sound to explain the procedure. Just they said that they can do it. It wasn't just sufficient for me. I went to a few more surgeons who told that laser doesn't work and when I asked that how many cases have you done they say 20/30 etc which means a significant cohort had not been built to act as foundation of that claim. Another set of surgeons told me that they take laser on rent and hence I wasn't convinced what make they would use on me. Afterwards with years of search I like located Dr Sambit Patnaik. He was my immediate choice. He was extremely well versed with the physics of laser and it's wavelength, wattage , joule, time balance for desired tissue effect. He demonstrated his own Biolitec Leonardo laser system 1940nm to me with the dedicated laser FiLAC Fiber. After being explained i underwent the procedure with him the very next week in January 2022. It was next to painless and bloodless. Cashless facility was given with good accomodation in the clean and new facility. I had been to him last week to say hello and thanks for treating me and also to invite him to come and educate my office organisation on laser in surgery. Thank you Dr Sambit Patnaik for everything you have done for me

We are very thankful to Dr Sambit Patnaik for the treatment of my father for profusely bleeding piles. He is 80 years old and had never ever had piles problems in his lifetime. He has diabetes and high cholesterol. He takes Ecospirin. Due to prostatic enlargement he strained to pass urine and it caused bleeding in stools. It was really scary as he literally bled like a spray of water. My cousin immediately recommended me to visit Dr Sambit Patnaik at his centre in Chembur Mumbai. We took an appointment and since my father is wheel chair bound we were given a priority visit time. The doctor examined him in a separate special low bed for ease of access for the patient. We were then advised that his bleeding of from the hemorroids which he also showed on video screen. He said that the laser treatment will be non invasive and quick. There will be no need of any kind of anesthesia or extensive blood and other tests to get his fitness for surgery. He will perform the procedure without Anesthesia and the patient will also not need any intravenous injection at all. We got him admitted the next day at the hospital. He even didn't need to come fasting. It is a small cosy clean spacious well appointed pleasant unit with well behaved caring staff. We reached the hospital at 8am and it was a Sunday and he was treated as urgent case. The procedure began around 9am and the Doctor himself wheeled in the patient constantly telling him not to worry. We were happily surprised to see him wheeled out at 9.30am and no signs of any discomfort or pain. He infact was smiling and was telling us how he could barely feel the procedure but could smell it a bit. We had some snacks and bites from the pantry with my father relishing it. We took the discharge medicines and were on our way out by 10.45am. Even the billing was smooth and although expensive every bit of this was worth. The point of writing this is that people must know the availability of such advanced procedure for all age groups and save patient from unnecessary tests, anesthesia and pain. We thank Dr Sambit again
