My mother was admitted under Dr. Chhajed for Covid complications and he ensured that she came out of it hale and hearty. His clinic is very well maintained and everyone working there is super helpful. Doctor patiently heard everything and was very gentle in his demeanour. I was so impressed that I took my father also to his clinic for a lung check- up. Dr. Chhajjed diagnosed his problem correctly and put him on required meds and my father is now feeling much better. I would hands down recommend Dr. Chhajjed to anyone looking to consult for lung related issues.

I personally visited doctor for 2nd opinion when my mother was admitted for 6 days in ICU and had been diagnosed for bilateral pneumonia and fibre optic bronchoscopy was suggested by treating doctor.Dr. Prashant and his team patiently discussed and reviewed all reports x-ray, CT scan and suggested not to go ahead with bronchoscopy and continue with antibiotics treatment for few days and assured it will get cured.next I visited once my mother was out of ICU and started recovering well, Dr Prashant reviewed the progress and medicine and striked out some medicine which helped to reduce dizziness and increase conciousness level.Doctors ability to understand health condition without seeing patient and just by looking at reports and suggestion on line of treatment helped me make right decision and get my mother out of critical condition shows the amazing experience, knowledge and expertise in lung related health conditions.I highly recommend Dr Prashant and team.
Dr Prashant Chhajed is well learned, experienced doctor. He attends the patient personally and well satisfies the queries of patient. He has team of dedicated doctors at Santacruz West clinic. The clinic is modern and comfortable. The fees is reasonable. While attending admitted patients at hospitals full attention regarding medicines, patients / family members queries is given by Dr Chhajed. May the God bless Dr Prashant Chhajed to serve the society.

I knew about Dr.Prashant and his expertise on lung disease from the source of google only So today visited to Fortis Hiranandani (Vashi) for My Mom's Checkup.
But this Expert Dr don't have much time for their patients ,so kept some junior dr who will note down all your concern regarding the health and then he explain to Dr Prashant.
So In My case he missed so many things to explain and not checked carefully all her exisiting reports and CT scan /X-ray report which already done before.
So Dr Suggested for some reports and test which already done before but he didnt checked in the files due to short of time.
And they charged 1700 rs for this activity.
Don't visit Fortis Hiranandani for this Dr's Appointment.
