I knew she would be the one when I had my first appointment with her. We began with a thorough history taking that covered family history, my personal history, the quirks of my body, and my general attitude towards life... all before she ever looked at my reports. I'm someone who favors a naturalistic approach, and she was 100% onboard with aspects of my care being handled without allopathic intervention. She never talked down to me, and she heard me out - all my concerns, all my questions... and we talked till I understood why my best option was surgery.
Even when the course was set, Dr Saloni kept me looped into every decision. She took the time to explain the results of all my (SO many) tests. An hour before my surgery, we went through the surgical plan together, and she told me exactly what I could expect to feel coming out of the surgery. Her surgical team was absolutely brilliant - the anaesthesiologist sent me into sleepyland laughing: she had cracked a joke and I was laughing as she placed the mask over my face. :)
The next thing I remembered was being in my room, post op, after Dr Suchak had removed 1.2kgs of fibroids from my body, plus my uterus, cervix and fallopian tubes. Suchak hospital is geared towards patient health (one of the few in Mumbai) and everyone from the nurses to the canteen staff to the doctors are steeped in a culture of care. My two main nurses (Jayshree and Alia) were clearly born to be nurses. I don't think I could've taken that first walk (or the many that followed), if it hadn't been for these two women.
Dr Saloni Suchak and I talked everyday in hospital, and she helped me chart the course of how my body would likely progress. I felt like a warrior, walking out of the hospital after a 3 day stay, on my own two feet, after such a massive surgery.
I'm still waiting for the histo-pathology reports to come back, but should I need further treatment, I know I'm in the right hands with Dr Saloni Suchak.
Highly, highly recommended. Read less
