Fortis Hiranandani Hospital

I would like to share my experience on laproscopic cholecystectomy surgery done by Dr. Jignesh Gandhi Sir.

I am Vikas Shinde stay in Airoli, Navi mumbai. On 19th April 2022, I had sharp nonbearable belly pain and digestion problem. Initially I went to general physician and they prescribed antacids. Even after taking antacids my pain was horrible. Then I took appointment of Gastroenterology Specialist Dr. Sonali Gautam at Airoli, Navi Mumbai. After sonography and blood tests, she diagnosed that I was suffering with heavy pain because of gall bladder stones and stones in ducts. Dr. Sonali Gautam is a highly experienced Gastroenterologist and she said me to admit immediately either at Fortis Hospital, Vashi or at Indravati, Airoli/Reliance, Koparkhaine Hospital. Dr Sonali told that I had to go first for endoscopic ERCP and then for gall bladder surgery.

Dr. Sonali did the ERCP at Reliance hospital and removed 10- 12 mm stone and sludge from the ducts. Also, she put some stents during ERCP to dilate the ducts. The procedure was completely painless and because of it my belly pain was drastically reduced. 2 days after ERCP, I was discharged from the hospital. On that day, I realized that Dr. Sonali Gautam is truly a medically sound and experience practitioner. ERCP should not be done anywhere because the complications can be fatal.

Then 5-6 days after ERCP, I was again facing nonbearable belly pain. Dr Sonali gave me some pain killers but the pain wasn't reduced. Then she asked me to take appointment of Dr. Jignesh Gandhi at Fortis hospital for gall bladder surgery.

Dr. Jignesh Gandhi did the CT scan and blood tests check up and urgently admitted me at Fortis hospital. Dr. Jignesh is truly a knowledgeable surgeon and has a vast experience in gall bladder surgery. Dr. Sonali also told me that Dr Jignesh is one of the finest surgeon in Mumbai region. Whole night I was just seating on the bed and could not sleep. Midnight Dr. Sonali and Dr. Jignesh decided to go for my surgery early in the morning. Everybody from my family was afraid. Dr. Jignesh and Dr. Sonali gave me and my family a confidence that we need not to worry. Their support to me and my family was very much required and highly acknowledged. Medicine and Surgery was jointly co-ordinated by Dr. Sonali and Dr. Jignesh.

Then after surgery, I came to know that my gall bladder was infected and gangrenous. Moreover, It was ruptured and lot of pus was found inside the stomach.

I read that Gall bladder blast may even lead to death of the patient. But due to vast experience of Dr. Jignesh Gandhi, gallbladder pieces and all pus was removed through surgery and additional drain which they had put to me on stomach.

Really, Dr. Jignesh Gandhi and Dr Sonali Gautam saved my life. It is always important to have good team. Dr. Pallavi from Jinesh sir's team also helped us a lot throughout the surgery and post-surgery revival. Technically she is also a sound medical practitioner.

In conclusion, even after gangrenous gall bladder rupture, team of Dr. Sonali Gautam (Gastroenterology specialist) and Dr. Jignesh Gandhi( Gall bladder Surgery specialist) saved my life. I highly recommend this experienced and down to earth team for gastrointestine related issues.

Also, many thanks to team of all supporting Drs and Sisters at Fortis hospital, Vashi, Navi Mumbai

My mother had an eye infection in August 2019 due to swelling of some oil glands in the lower eyelid. We had taken her to a well-reputed doctor near our home for treatment. However, despite being on prescribed medication for several weeks and then undergoing a minor surgery to treat the infection, it did not seem to heal completely. We were also told that she required a cataract surgery in the same eye but that cannot be done until the infection is completely healed. When the healing process did not complete even after the surgery, we decided to visit Dr. Harshvardhan Ghorpade after reading feedback of many of his patients.

It was the best decision we made! Not only did the medication prescribed by him completely heal the persistent infection within a week, he also successfully did the cataract surgery on 31 October 2019 without any complications at Fortis, Vashi. Every consultation with Dr. Ghorpade left us feeling relieved and at-ease. He considerately listens to the problems of the patient and suggests solutions which are practical and convenient. He even advised us over whatsapp when we reached out to him prior to the cataract surgery fearing that the infection was returning. Despite being a successful doctor having performed complex surgeries, Dr. Ghorpade is extremely approachable and considerate and took good care of my mother.

For any eye-related issues for any of my family members, Dr. Ghorpade will be my “Go-To Doctor” going forward.

I know that I am posting this review a good seven months after the surgery, but it just goes to show that I still remember and am thankful for the treatment and care provided by Dr. Ghorpade and his Team seven months ago!

This review is based on my personal experience.

We referred to all the top doctors possible in Mumbai, Navi Mumbai and Hyderabad by our network of friends/family.

Before we met any doctor, we shortlisted the best ones on basis of their academia, years of experience, patient reviews on google etc.

After meeting in-person with all the shortlisted ones I decided to get operated by Dr Sumit Mehta due to the confidence expressed in eradicating the stone completely.

He was very patient while answering all my queries. Explains all the possible options that are best for his patients. He isn’t pushy like others and doesn’t take you for a ride. He is in-fact blunt when it comes to logical reasoning, empathetic, non-judgmental. This was critical for me as few male doctors are extremely judgemental when they know that I am 30+ unmarried female, have a habit of giving unsolicited advices on marriage, having kids etc., it’s mentally tough to visit doctors/hospitals for any health reasons.

I underwent mini-perc surgery which was technically challenging due to stone

being located at lower calyx.

Dr. Sumit did an incredible work of removing 2 stones without breaking them.

During my first consultation, he confidently told me that no report gives you correct size and number of stones present,as a matter of fact, he was right.

Post surgery we were shown two stones where reports always showed one stone in KUB sonography of the 10mm and in KUB CT of 13mm.

People who are on homeopathy/Ayurveda pseudoscience meds claim that their stone size has reduced, which isn’t possible and are completely misguided. Hence it’s highly important to get treated by real doctors who are experts in their field.

The entire surgery process was smooth. l was walking within 24 hours. After anaesthesia wore off, had an onset of fever on 3rd day but the medication worked well and was discharged the next day. I have been recovering very well since then. Post 2 weeks of surgery ,KUB sonography showed no stones at all.

I had zero anxiety on the day of surgery as it was not only about trust or faith but getting operated from a very well trained surgeon is what mattered the most, especially for surgeries like Mini-perc which requires high expertise.

He always instilled confidence in every meeting.

Dr Sumit Mehta has been a life saviour.

I ll be eternally grateful to you.

Thank you for everything. 🙏

Your Patient,

Kanchan Sapkal

The consultation charge was Rs. 1200/-, I booked through Practo, but Fortis hospital, vashi didn't bother and registered the first time visit. First mistake of hospital was - without verifying details they given appointment of another Doctor Who was specialist of thyroid, almost 1 hr wasted then doctor told me that I am not. madhumita ghosh that u want. After 1:30 hr doctor came. Dr. Madhumita looked and taken history, but in the name of counselling, she charged 3000 for two counselling. I paid and thought next counselling is covered, but unfortunately When I contacted hospital they told the consultation 1200 3000, was for the one day. I raised my objection with billing and patient welfare dept. He received my complain, but no action. This is complete misinterpreting in the name of counselling I. e 3000/-** ****** ** *********** ********** **** *** ************* she should mention /charge of counselling per hour. she given 1hour, but charged in addition to consultation of Rs 1200 very bad.

I underwent eye surgery on February 10th at Fortis Hiranandani Hospital, performed by Dr. Harshwardhan Ghorpade. The first and second days post-surgery were quite uncomfortable for me, and I experienced pain. The doctor advised me to return after 7 days to remove the special lens placed in my eyes. On February 17th, I followed the doctor's instructions for the lens removal procedure. Although I do not know the name of the doctor who attended to me, I found them to be very arrogant. Despite my inquiries, they responded in a dismissive manner.During the examination, the doctor checked my vision by showing letters and indicated that my recovery was progressing well. However, when I asked about achieving 20/20 vision, they remained silent. I reiterated that it had been 7 days since the surgery, yet I still experienced blurry vision and glare, with my left eye unable to see distant objects and my right eye struggling with close-up vision. In response, the doctor rudely asked, "How much better do you want to see in 7 days?" I clarified that I was simply inquiring about the healing process, to which they confirmed.When I repeated my query about achieving 20/20 vision, the doctor stated it could take 2 to 3 weeks. However, it has now been 5 weeks, and my eyesight has not improved; ** ***** ** *** ********* Despite numerous attempts to contact the doctor through Practo, I have been unable to reach them.

DR. Sumit Mehta is a Highly skilled specialist in his field of Urology, needless to mention about his expertise & experience, he is one of the top Urologist doctors especially in Navi Mumbai.

Have known him since 2018, where I had met him for the first time for treating my Kidney stone since then he is like a family doctor to us, because he has not only treated me but recently treated my father n law as well for his prostate.

I always believe that having a good doctor around is a big relief but what's more important is apart from his known expertise and how good he is at giving you the right medical guidance, it is important for him to be very easy to talk to, be a good listener, approachable and make you feel comfortable. I must say he is a very nice human being. I would recommend him to everyone because he takes good care of his patients and is very honest about the treatment. No complaints whatsoever. Glad he’s my urologist. Very courteous and professional.

Thank you Dr. Sumit Mehta for all your guidance and support to us.

I was diagnosed with Hiatus hernia – Level 6, i.e., the highest level of severity. My stomach had protruded through the diaphragm towards lungs & heart by almost 40% i.e., close to 4 cm.

We had two consultations with Dr. Jignesh Gandhi before laparoscopic operation.

He was very attentive to our narrations and gave very detailed and clear explanations to the way he was taking our case forward. He also explained in simple non-medical terms, the entire laparoscopic procedure with all its nuances, and its duration of operation with maximum possible duration of stay in the hospital that I may have.

Based on our reading through websites, we also understood that the operation of Level 6 hiatus hernia required the highest level of skills with exceptionally high degree of dexterity.

Doctor completed in less than three hours the entire procedure effortlessly and without any pain.

Staples over the keyholes made during the surgery were removed on the tenth day.

I was back to my normal work life in two weeks’ time.

I sincerely thank Dr. Jignesh Gandhi for this exceptional healthcare experience of my life.

I'm deeply grateful for Dr. Jignesh Gandhi's exceptional medical expertise and care. In the last three years, he performed two critical surgeries on my mom, both with successful outcomes. The first surgery in 2019 was a life-saving intervention when her stomach was severely inflating, and no other doctors could diagnose the issue. Dr. Gandhi took immediate action, operating on the same night of admission, and skillfully addressed the twisted and water-filled intestines.

Recently, my mom faced another challenging situation, having a gall bladder stone. Once again, Dr. Gandhi demonstrated his surgical prowess by skillfully performing a laparoscopic procedure, resulting in a speedy recovery. My mom was discharged in just two days, thanks to his exceptional care.

I cannot thank Dr. Gandhi enough for his dedication, expertise, and compassion during these critical times. He not only saved my mom's life but also provided excellent post-operative care. Our family is deeply grateful, and we trust him completely with our health. We are always confident that she is in the best hands under Dr. Gandhi's care. I would recommend him everytime for any one to who need a medical treatment. Because I believe , once your doctor is Dr Jignesh Gandhi, you just dont need to worry and trust me you will be cured and back to normal soon!!!!

My 11 year old suddenly had a swollen, painful left eye and face. In two days, her vision deteriorated, and it turned out to be corneal infection. This happened in Kolkata and Cornea Specialist in Kolkata prescribed eye drops which was agressive treatment considering the urgency of the situation . ***** ***** **** ****** *** *** ****** **** *** ******* **** *** ********* **** *** *** *** ****** ****** ********* We saw Dr.Ghorpade on the 4th day in Vashi after the start of treatment. Dr. Ghorpade was quickly able to access the situation correctly . He changed the medication which made a drastic difference in how my child felt. Vision improved, and came back to almost normal. The infection of the cornea gradually reduced in 20 days. I am very grateful that we were able to consult Dr.Ghorpade who saved my child's vision /cornea. His experience *** ********* also meant the treatment wasn't very difficult or painful for my kid to handle. He also explained what he was prescribing, how it will help ,what the cornea infection meant , and the outcome he was targeting making it easy for me as a mother to have confidence in his treatment.
