Dear Dr. Gawai,
I could never put into words or fully express my gratitude to you for the quality of treatment that we received from you.
I was visited your clinic to treat my father’s shoulder problem. I was scared and nervous when you suggested a surgery for the issue. Which I think is common reaction when we heard the word “Surgery”.
You build the confidence and complete trust from the pre-entrance testing to post-surgery.
I was impressed with the professionalism *** ***** **** ***** *** ********* *** ********** We were all accomplished by very professional, caring staff members. I have never had such a great experience with a medical team.
You and your staff should all be very proud of the service and care you provide to those of us that have parts of our bodies that just wear out!!
You are a fantastic physician/surgeon, a wonderful person and you have a gift for making your patients really feel important & cared about.
I will continue referring you to everyone I know.
I am forever grateful to you.

Visited For Joint Dislocation TreatmentBankart RepairFracture Treatment

I visited Dr Gawai for my recurring shoulder dislocation problem. This time was different, I was in an accident and also had a greater tuberosity fracture. Doc listened to the problem properly and guided me really well and explained my situation throughly. We decided to go ahead and do a surgery for the fracture and the bankart repair. After listening to stories from other friends who went through the same process and the pain involved, I was very sceptical. The surgery went very smoothly, literally no pain involved. From day 1 of the surgery, Dr Yajuvendra Gawai gave me excerises so that I wouldn't get a frozen shoulder which really boosted my confidence. The healing process has been smooth so far. I would recommend anyone to him!

I had taken my mom to Dr. Gawai. Initially she was very scared to even go to the doctor. But after meeting the good doc she was at peace and relaxed which i feel is the biggest thing. My mom was very happy with the way Dr. Gawai explained all the details and in a language which made her comfortable. Thanks a lot Doc.

My dad being a senior citizen. He is around 75. He had this chronic shoulder pain problem. Dr.Gawai not only treated the ailment but was very cordial and patient with my dad. He answered all his queries and was very respectful. The ailment can be treated with medicines but a senior citizen needs reassurance and "dont worry everything will be fine vibe" which dr.gawai extended. The clinic itself has a positive aura and dr.yajuvendra thank you so much for the positivity you passed on to my dad.

Visited For Knee Pain Treatment
Happy with: Doctor friendliness
Visited Dr Yajuvendra Gawai at his clinic in Santacruz (W) on 6th & 13th June 22 for heavy swelling in knee. Biggest attribute of Dr Yajuvendra is that he instantly instills a very positive feeling in the patient. Will suggest surgery only when truly required(unlike most Drs in private hospitals). Being young and fitness conscious, he is always keen that his patients enjoy an active life. His pleasing demeanour just adds to the “feel good” factor of the patients. Stay blessed Dr.
