Kokilaben Dhirubhai Ambani Hospital, Andheri West

Please Please Please Do not go to her. Extremely Rude, Callous, Loud and unprofessional.

My mother was admitted twice under her care. Once in June this year for a gynaecology surgery ***** ** ********* ****** *** ********** which couldn’t be done due to detection of Aorta Arteritis and she was consulting as a medicine doctor and 2nd time now in September directly under her.

As a doctor she either speaks to her assistants when she visits your room or else doesn’t speak at all to you. Answering questions it seems is beneath her and so are all patients. You can expect her to be curt, interrupting, rude and loud in her behaviour. *** **** *** ****** ********* ******** *** ** *** **** ** ******* ****** ** *** ** **** ** ******** ********** ******** ** *** ******** *** ***** ** ******* **** ******

This time my mother was admitted directly under her supervision with breathlessness and high fever and after 4 days of treatment was discharged with cause unknown and a simple statement that she is ok now as her PET scan is clear. Please expect a battery of tests to be done wether required or otherwise. Her assistants are also such that they take your files very casually and when discharge is in morning 1030 am they shall submit the files to TPA after 5:30 pm in the evening. Of course you are charged for that day. So what huh!!

Today we consulted her again due to recurring low fever as to why this happened in just a few days after being treated at the hospital under her and were directed to our rheumatologist and gynaecologist. *** ********** ***** ******** ** ************** ******** ********* ****** *** ******* **********

Please do not consult this doctor ****** *** **** ******** ** *** ********** *** **** ***** **** ** ****** *****

Had an exasperating experience when my wife was admitted at Kokilaben Hospital under the treatment of Dr. S P Rai for pneumonia. While it is an accepted practice of such so-called premiere hospitals to repeat all sorts of tests just to inflate the bill, especially if it is known that the patient is covered by medi-claim; this went a step further. They decided that a CT scan and a broncoscopy was necessary to be conducted for which my wife was made to fast (both solid & liquid) from 6.30 am in the morning. The CT scan was done at around 11.00 am and the broncoscopy was schedules for 3.00pm. However, they wheeled her into the prodecure room on around 4.00 pm, while I stayed outside. The nurse then called me to give company to my wife as the doctor was busy and that he would be coming in around half an hour. When there was no sign of the doctor even after two and a half hours, and as my wife was now complaining of dehydration, I inquired with the nurse about the doctor. The nurse stated that the doctor was busy attending OPD patients and that he would take time to come to do the procedure. As my wife could no longer bear the lack of fluid, we decided to cancel the procedure and asked the nurse to inform the doctor about the same. On this, the doctor came rushing in and started requesting that we allow the procedure to be done. When asked whether the doing of the procedure would, in any manner alter the treatment (of antibiotics) that she was already undergoing, the Doctor, unabashedly confessed that the treatment would still be the same. On be further inquired as to why he made the patient fast when he was attending OPD patients and why he didn't reschedule the bronchoscopy to another day if he was busy with the OPD patients, he had no answer. ** ** ****** ************* ** *** *** ********* ***** *** ** ******** ** ******* ** **** ********* *** **** *** ********* **** ********** ********* *** *******

My Father age 67 had chronic back pain for almost 6 months. He started limping with unbearable pain while walking. During these 6 months we consulated many doctors some suggested physiotherapy. We took physiotherapy sessions for 5 months every day. But the pain kept getting severe and we saw that he was losing control with his walk. So after multiple physiotherapy sessions and regular back MRI. We decided to book an appointment with Dr Abhijit Pawar in KokilaBen Hospital Mumbai. He was the first doctor to identify that the issue was not only with the lower back but also cervical which was even more critical. He immediately asked us to get an MRI done for neck this time and diagonised that we have to get both cervical and lumbar operated. He is a through professional , very hardworking and yet very ethical which his other patients would also confirm. After 1 month from getting operated for C3-C7 and L3-L4-L5 my father can walk upto 2 kms with ZERO pain and with ZERO support completely independent. Earlier even going to the washroom was painful. Dr Abhijit Pawar is very approachable and after having a word with his other patients his suggestion would be in the best interest of his patients. He will suggest surgery only if it is required. He has given my father a new life where his not dependent on anyone 🙏

I am happy to share this review and would expect people to get most appropriate treatment from a very friendly doctor, Dr. Abhijit Pawar. I was having sheer pain with sign of emerging numbness on several parts of my right leg. With lots anxiety, I reached out to Dr. Pawar through his very helpful team of junior doctors, like Dr. Vivek and Dr. Sachin. Without any further delay, I had my discectomy done for the disk herniation between L5 and S1. From here onwards, it was simply a magic. The pain disappeared in no time. I got discharged on the very next day of my surgery. Though I was told precisely the after-surgery precautions. It’s a rest time for a month and then I am back to office. I thank Dr Pawar for his very cordial behavior and all ears listening to a person in pain, rather in distress. I also like to extend my gratitude to his team of young doctors with full of energy to hear any issues any time. They are really a team of professionally sound doctors with lots of human touch which today you seldom get in medical fraternity. God bless them.

My wife, Mrs Pushp Lata Singhal (UHID KH1000880052) aged 75 years, was suffering with Vaginal Vault Prolapse with Cystocele. At Kokilaben Dhirubhai Ambani Hospital, Mumbai, we consulted Dr Anshumala Shukla Kulkarni, a multi-skilled surgeon, who performed Laparosic sacrocolpopexy surgery and para-vaginal repair very successfully using minimally invasive surgical technique, with less pain, shorter hospital stay and which led to fast recovery post-surgery. Dr. Anshumala Shukla is indeed a multi-talented surgeon par-excellence in Laparosic and Robatic surgery and a specialist in minimal access surgery. She is incredible, very empathetic towards all patients. She is gifted with the quality of perfection in her work. She keeps abreast with latest advanced techniques and technology coming up across the world and uses those techniques for the betterment of patients. I sincerely express my gratefulness, Dr Anshumala Shukla Kulkarni for excellent medical and personal care & attention, kind help & support and also thank the entire team of the Hospital for dedication, sincerity. – J.K.

Thank you, Dr. Abhijit Pawar. We sought opinion from several doctors in all over Bombay and Pune regarding spine surgery of my dad, which is congenital in nature and the same was detected at the age of 65. The way you explained in simple words, to all of us, regarding surgery procedure and performed such a complicated surgery i.e., from C2-C-3 and occipital C-5 fusion etc. and within 2 days after surgery, my dad is walking all alone with confidence, is a big relief for all of us. This is extraordinary result. For us this is miracle, since we were scared of reading articles on Google knowledge on spine surgery for last two months. We have no words to express our feelings, you gave my dad a new life. Thanks!

Pleased to update that Dr. Sandeep Joshi, through his timely and innovative actions saved me from ICU. Despite three doses and anti pneumonia vaccine, I had @15% lung affected due to covid. Thanks to Dr. Doshi, who with his no non sense focussed attention reversed the deleterious covid action and I was up and running within a couple of days.

Actually me and my family, not fully aware of the gravity of my health situation were pestering the Doc for an early release but Dr. Sandeep, patiently and politely, yet firmly, informed of the possible consequences thereby ensuring completion of the medical course and complete cure. Subsequently, we showed all data CT, and blood results to our family Doc, then realised the serious health situation and timely medical intervention by Dr. Doshi back to my healthy self.

I would strongly recommend Dr. Doshi's consultation for your health issues.

Kind regards,

We have been consulting Dr. Vinay Joshi for our child for quite some time now, and I cannot recommend him enough. He is extremely ************** thorough, and has an incredible ability to make both children and parents feel at ease.

What I appreciate most is his patience — he takes the time to explain the diagnosis, treatment, and even the smallest details in a way that is easy to understand. He never rushes through appointments and always listens to our concerns with genuine care.

His guidance has always been accurate, and the treatment plans ** ******** **** *********** ******* *********** *********** * ***** ***** *** ********** *** **** ********** ** **** ** ******* ****** ** ** **** ******* ******

We are grateful to have found a pediatrician who combines professionalism with such warmth and empathy. Thank you, Dr. Joshi, for always being there for us and for taking such good care of our little one

Dr Sanjay Pandey might be a good urologist but he and his staff at Kokilaben are quite apathetic towards their patients. We went to him three times and they kept us waiting for more than three hours each time saying that the doctor was in OT and his expected time of arrival couldn’t be confirmed. They were not only rude but also had no value for patient’s time and inconvenience. I’m sure the doctor is well aware of this fact and the least he can do is as his staff not to book appointment for consultation if he has a surgery to perform on the same day at the same time ****** ** *** **** ******** * ******. But then it’s Kokilaben, how could they not take an appointment as Patient’s inconvenience is the last think that comes to their mind.

I was operated for retina detachment surgery last year in August, initially i was not ready to go for the surgery as it was the matter of an eye and everybody know how important is an eye for us. It was my first consultation with Dongre Sir and the way he explained me and convinced me for the surgery was mind blowing. The main difficulty that one undergoes is after the retina detachment surgery where in one has to maintain a neck position for atleast 15 days and we have to lie only on our stomach. I used to get regular calls and messages from Dongre Sir asking about my health and the reguar follow ups has me me fit and fine. What i am trying to tell here is he is not the kind of doctor who thinks that after the surgery his role is over he calls you enquires about your health on a regular basis and only if required he calls for a follow up. I have not seen any other doctor as generous and down to earth as Dr.Niren Dongre
