I recently underwent a septoplasty and Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery (FESS) performed by Dr. Navalakhe for my recurrent sinusitis, a condition that had been troubling me for some time. This persistent issue not only affected my daily life but also led to other health complications. From the initial consultation, Doctor demonstrated exceptional expertise and a reassuring bedside manner. He thoroughly explained the procedures, addressing all my concerns and setting realistic expectations.
The surgery was more successful than I could have hoped. The professionalism and skill were evident in the smoothness of the operation and the minimal discomfort I experienced during the recovery. Post-surgery, I noticed a significant improvement in my breathing and a remarkable reduction in sinus infections and related symptoms. This has greatly enhanced my quality of life.
Moreover, the follow-up care and guidance provided by him was outstanding. He ensured I had a clear understanding of the recovery process and was always available to answer any questions I had.
I am deeply grateful for his help and would highly recommend him to others suffering from chronic sinusitis or related conditions.

My wife, Sapna Jain, was suffering with tongue pain (Ulcer) since 2021. We approached different doctors and specialist including ENT, skin, dentist. Unfortunately, the pain was not going away with the diagnosis. With time, problem was aggravating.
I was in search of best doctor who can identify, and root cause the issue. Fortunately, I got to know about Dr. Milind Navalakhe Sir and visited him with lot of hope.
To my surprise, in the first visit itself, Dr Milind Sir got the exact root cause of the problem. Dr Milind Sir explained me the problem, symptoms and possible treatment path going forward. To confirm the diagnosis, he suggested biopsy test.
Test was carried out and the suspect of mouth cancer was confirmed with the report. Dr Milind Navalakhe Sir gave moral and mental support to me and patient very calmly. As the cancer was in early stage, it was recommended to treat it as early as possible.
My wife and I got a confidence from Dr Milind Sir and as suggested by them we decided to go ahead with surgery. Dr Milind Sir performed the surgery and made sure that the spread is limited.
Dr Milind’s Sir clear advice, guidance and continuous support, friendly and accommodative nature is much appreciated throughout the treatment and expect the same in future.
I thank you Dr. Milind Navalakhe Sir from the deep of my heart.

After surgery also he welcomed us with his signature positive smile and informed us d success rate of 100% in d surgery..

Visited For Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery - FESS
Happy with: Doctor friendlinessExplanation of the health issueTreatment satisfactionValue for money
Visiting Dr. Milind Navalakhe has been one of the best decisions ever made by me - from a health perspective. I had been suffering from a permanent nasal blockage since last 2 years and had shown it to a few ENT Specialists in Mumbai, but to no avail. They were not even able to correctly diagnose the problem, let alone treating it. Finally, I was recommended by one of my close relatives to visit Dr. Navalakhe in Parel. And in the very first consultation, Dr. Navalakhe was sharp enough to find out that the blockage was due to inverted papilloma - a type of benign nasal tumor! He advised MRI Scan, which subsequently confirmed his finding. Once the real problem was established. Dr. Navalakhe explained to me the next course of treatment, which was the excision of nasal tumor through endoscopic surgery.
Following the successful surgery by Dr. Navalakhe and his team, there were no complications at all and my nose blockage went away completely. I was again able to breathe normally like before, which has significantly improved my quality of life.
Lastly, besides being an excellent doctor, Dr. Navalakhe is a wonderful person who is extremely empathetic towards his patients. The staff is equally polite and extremely helpful. I'd advise people like me, suffering from any type of ENT disorders, to go to Dr. Milind Navalakhe without any hesitation whatsoever. Your lifestyle will change for the better - I can assure you about that.

Dr. Milind Navalakhe
A very kind, caring and humble doctor.
I was admitted and operated for mucormycosis by Dr. Milind Navalakhe in the month of May 2021. It was a long surgery and post-surgery the hospitalisation care and cure were even longer. During this time, I realised the worth of having found a good doctor, the best for Black Fungus in town, Dr. Milind Navalakhe.
He is a busy doctor, as he is a Professor at KEM, has his own clinic OPDs and surgeries too. But he would make it a point to take a round late at night to check upon the health of all the patients. Inspite of having had a busy day, he would appear in a fresh frame of mind and respond to all our queries even at midnight in the most patient way.
He is very much dedicated to his work and explains the diagnosis and the plan of action in very simple and clear words. He is a God sent Angel to save people's lives and words are not enough to appreciate his work. I am very thankful to him for saving my life and encouraging me to fight the disease.
Thank you Doctor.

My father's Mucormycosis surgery was failed. We were in deep concern & luckily we came across with the name of Dr. Milind Navalakhe in news paper article. When we visited sir (Dr. Navalakhe) he explained us regarding Mucor's condition very openly & smoothly. Eventually surgery was successful.. for me Dr. Navalakhe is not less than any God.
My father was admitted at Global Hospital for almost a month & during Covid-19 I was only allowed to stay with my father... no other visitors were allowed but we always had sir's back. He is such a Gem of a person... the way he boosted my father's confidence it helped him recover quicker than expected.
And another thing to notice even though sir used to go out of station for surgeries while returning he used to directly come from airport to hospital & visit his patients...& even after being discharged he always keep track of my father's health.
Sir & his team at Global Hospital have done a great job. I am very grateful & thankful to sir & his team. Thank you.

We were introduced to Dr. Milind Navalakhe about 10 years back when my mother was advised of FESS (Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery) in Jalgaon (MH). Dr. Navalakhe was very methodical in carrying out the surgery and my mother has not had any major troubles since then.
Earlier this year I was advised to undergo FESS and correction of deviated septum. Even though I am based out of Dubai, I decided to travel to India and get operated by Dr. Navalakhe, ** ** ** ******** ** *** ** *** **** ** *** ****** and has immense hands-on surgical experience as he routinely travels across India to carry out surgeries at various hospitals.
Dr. Navalakhe operated me in April 2018, our experience continued to be good in terms of his explanation of the issue, his ease of approachability and periodic follow-ups, and his awareness and use of latest technological advances in surgical domain. A month has now passed as I write this review, my post-operative recovery has been on track.
Given my hometown and work place both are away from Mumbai, Dr. Navalakhe also shared references of Doctors practicing in Jalgaon and Dubai, and was also reachable to them for explaining surgical details as needed.
Based on my experience, I would strongly recommend Dr. Milind Navalakhe in the domain of FESS.
