Lunavat Clinic, Tilak Road

Recently, I have gone through the Kidney stone surgery (RIRS) and I am grateful to Dr. Suraj for such a smooth procedure, which was almost painless.

Dr. Suraj Lunavat is best doctor to treat any Urological problem. He is the best Urologist in the City and along with the best treatment he will also make you mentally comfortable for the treatment. I choose Jehangir hospital for the surgical procedure and the hospital facility and staff was very good and co-operative.

My suggestion to every kidney stone patient is that please don’t delay or neglect the issue, visit to a doctor as early as possible. I’m very happy with the treatment and all support provided by Dr. Suraj Lunavat, he is very kind person, who always listen and answer all your queries very patiently. I wish him all the very best.

Below is my complete history about the Kidney Stone treatment (can skip if not interested) -

1. On 20th Jun 2022, I experienced severe back pain on left side only, which was unbearable. This condition settled down automatically in 30-40 mins.

2. On 21th Jun 2022, I consulted with general physician about the problem and she suspected this can be a symptom of Kidney Stone. She prescribed some pain killer medicines, Neeri Syrup and also mentioned to go for USG.

3. On 15th July 2022, I went for the USG test (I experienced two episodes of the pain in this duration, I was bit busy in home shifting in this duration) and USG report showed that there are two stones in my left kidney, stucked into upper ureter, also causing Hydro Nephrosis in kidney.

4. On 23th July 2022, I visited Dr Suraj , first time and explain him everything, he understand the problem and suggested to go for CT Scan KUB to understand the problem more clearly.

5. On 26th July 2022, I visited Dr Suraj again with CT Scan report and it was very clear that two stones with size 8.7 and 7 MM, stucked in Ureter close to each other and there is minor swelling in the Kidney with Hydro Nephrosis. In the same call he suggested for the surgery and I also fixed the date.

6. On 28th July 2022, I got admitted in Jehangir Hospital, they performed all the checkups required for the surgical procedure.

7. On 29th July 2022, I gone under the RIRS (URS) surgery with General Aneshthesia. Operation took almost 35-45 mins and I been shifted to my room within 1.5 hour. It was completely pain less without any cut or stitch. During surgery Doctor also injected one stent in the Ureter for better healing of the Kidney and ureter.

8. On 30th Jun 2022, I discharged from the hospital with some medicines and asked to see the doctor after 15 days.

9. I felt a minor pain in the back side and sensation during urination, but it was not very severe and can be reduced down by medicines.

10. I was very nervous about the stent removal process as stent removal doesn’t include any anaesthesia, but Dr Suraj explains me everything on this concern, also told that if you feel pain we have many option available instantly.

11. On 20th Aug 2022, I gone for the stent removal procedure in Ratna Memorial Hospital, it took only 5 min to took the stent out and I felt very minimal pain under local anaesthesia. I felt some pain during urination for next 24 hours and also seen blood in urine but it settle down in 24 hours.

12. Today, on 31st Aug 2022, I’am doing all my routine works including walking, cycling etc.

Thanks !

I visited Dr Suraj Lunavat for Papillary Urothelial Neoplasm at Apollo Spectra hospital.

I explained him all the previous history and treatment that I have taken, he listened everything and checked all my previous reports.

As my latest USG suggested that growth is back again, Dr Suraj Lunavant explained me the further process.

The best part is he explained me possible 2-3 action plans for the treatment that can be given after seeing the exact status with cystoscopy.

I immediately started my admission process and got the pre-surgery tests done in next 1 hr.

Next day I got admitted in the morning and before surgery Dr Lunavat met me and explained again the procedure.

Post surgery he visited me in observation room and informed me what immediate action needs to be taken (One of the actions he had explained before surgery).

Very next day of surgery he visited me in the morning and explained us that everything is fine and we just need to do continuous monitoring. I got discharge on the same day.

Few most important things I would like to highlight about Dr Suraj Lunavat:

1. Easy to reach out - He shared his number, you can reach out to him via call/whatsapp and if he is busy and didn't answered your call, he will gives callback to you.

2. Expertise - The way he explained the possible action plans depending on possible situations, really gave me lots of confidence

3. Trust - You will feel the trust and honesty even after very first meeting with him.

Staff was great, too. Walked away, very impressed with the overall experience.

HIGHLY recommend.

I had a great visit and the doctor’s demeanour has really put me at ease.

Dear Dr. Suraj Lunavat,

I am writing to express my utmost gratitude for the exceptional care I received during my recent kidney stone operation. I wanted to take a moment to share my experience on your Practo page and highlight the outstanding level of professionalism and expertise you demonstrated throughout the entire process.

From our initial consultation to the post-operative follow-up appointments, you consistently exhibited a high level of knowledge and skill in the field of urology. Your thorough explanation of the procedure and the risks involved helped alleviate my concerns, and your willingness to answer my questions with patience and clarity was greatly appreciated.

During the surgery itself, your surgical skills were evident, and I felt confident in your ability to handle the procedure. Your attention to detail and commitment to ensuring the best possible outcome were truly remarkable. I was impressed by your precision and expertise, which undoubtedly contributed to the successful resolution of my kidney stone issue.

Moreover, your bedside manner and compassionate approach were truly commendable. Your calm and reassuring demeanor helped me feel at ease before and after the operation, and your genuine concern for my well-being was evident. You took the time to listen to my concerns and provided clear explanations, which made me feel supported and cared for throughout the entire process.

I would also like to acknowledge the exceptional post-operative care I received. Your diligent monitoring of my recovery, prompt response to any concerns, and guidance for a smooth healing process were invaluable. Your availability and willingness to address any questions or issues that arose were highly appreciated and made a significant difference in my overall experience.

In conclusion, I cannot thank you enough for the exceptional care I received during my kidney stone operation. Your expertise, professionalism, and compassionate approach truly set you apart as an outstanding urologist. I would highly recommend your services to anyone in need of urological treatment.

Once again, thank you for your exceptional care.

I was diagnosed with a 12.5mm renal calculus in my left kidney and was seeking a second opinion for going about the treatment plan which is when I found out about Dr. Suraj Lunavat.

During my first visit to the clinic, the doctor took adequate time to review the reports and explain to me the seriousness of the issue.

While the problem in my case was completely asymptomatic and the diagnosis happened purely out of chance, I decided to initiate the treatment before the situation could worsen.

Despite me being extremely skeptical about getting a surgery done, the doctor's thorough explanation of the procedure and guidance helped me decide the future course of action.

Considering the size, a RIRS (retrograde intrarenal surgery) laser based procedure was recommended to remove the calculus.

While the procedure is typically done in one sitting where the patient only needs to be admitted for a day, in my case the procedure had to be done twice within a gap of 4 weeks.

During the first surgery, the laser scope could not completely pass through due to the narrowness of the tract and had limited / no exposure to the area containing the stone. Hence, a ureteral DJ stent was placed to broaden the passage and also protect the calculus from obstructing the tract.

The procedure was done under general anesthesia under an unresponsive state and was completely painless. The catheter placed after the surgery was troublesome for a few hours, however, it is removed within 24 hours and I could resume with regular activities as usual.

The right medication and treatment given during the first procedure helped in good recovery post which I could also travel abroad without any difficulty.

The second procedure was repeated after 4 weeks and turned out to be extremely seamless where the calculus was successfully demolished. The stent was finally removed after a week of going through the procedure and the procedure lasted only 30 seconds.

The guidance and treatment plan provided by the Doctor was extremely thorough and I'm glad I chose his expertise to deal with it.

Highly recommended to anyone and everyone seeking any help / consultation with regards to urology.

Hope this helps!

I was suffering from severe pain in my right flank with nausea. After USG and CT Scan I was told that the pain was due to the ureteric stricture (narrowing of the ureter) which had resulted in kidney swelling. I was told that I must immediately visit an Urologist. I searched for Urologists in Pune and came across the name Dr. Suraj Lunavat. ** *** ****** ***** ** *** *** ***** **** ********* ******* ** ***** After searching more about him, I found that his reviews on all the sites were very impressive and all his patients were very satisfied and happy with him. So I finally visited him with my reports in January.

He listened to me very patiently and asked me few questions. Afterwards he explained to me about my condition very clearly making it as simple as possible and told me that surgery was the only option. He also told me that a stent would be inserted during the surgery and it will be removed after 6 weeks. I was little scared after hearing about the surgery. Dr. Suraj did his best to put me at ease and told me to take my time to prepare myself for surgery. He also advised me to get some tests and scans done before the surgery. After getting the Scan reports and finally making up mind to undergo surgery, I visited him again. He advised me few tests before surgery and finally I underwent a open surgery (A.H. Pyeloplasty +DJ Stent) in Jehangir Hospital in the first week of February. He took follow up regularly until I was discharged from the hospital.

Even after being discharged from the hospital he made sure to ask about my health on Whatsapp.

After 6 weeks I visited him again to decide the date for stent removal. The stent was finally removed in the last week of March at Apollo Hospital. The stent removal took hardly 5 minutes with slight pain.

I am doing absolutely fine now and didn’t experience any pain in my flank after the surgery.

A big thank you to Dr. Suraj Lunavat for being patient with me during all my visits, for making me feel comfortable during the entire treatment and providing the best treatment.

Dr. Suraj Lunavat is very polite, down to earth, very confident and expert in his field. I wish him all the best.

I would definitely recommend Dr. Suraj Lunavat for any kidney or urological problem.

There have been misconceptions rather I would say fear in people's mind about any operation. Same was the case with us. I was dealing with the stone of 18x7, 9mm,8mm mm in my left kidney. We detected the stone 8 months ago and as usual, we thought it will remove automatically so started taking hydrotherapy, Ayurveda treatment. Throughout these 8 months, I had severe pain several times and truly speaking it was unbearable pain.

Finally, we have consulted Dr SURAJ LUNAVATand explain the whole history. He explained to me about why we should not wait and get it removed ASAP. As the kidney will have to handle pressure when there is a stone blockage. In some cases, it can cause damages to the kidney.

We took it positively and agreed on Dr SURAJ advice to remove it by Urethroscopy. It was a small operation of around 1.5hr with anaesthesia . After the operation, he kept my self under observation for a few hours and we have got discharged on the second day evening. After removal of stone, there's a Dj stent to be inserted whose one end is in the kidney and other in the bladder, so as there should not be blockage due to swelling in the ureter. The stent can be removed in exactly 3 weeks, Some sort of uncomfortableness feels for the first few days after that you get used to it. Stent removal is a quick thing and can be done in 10 mins in OT and you don't have to admit for that, It is done in daycare.

I will definitely highly recommend Dr. SURAJ LUNAVAT for any sort of problem-related to urology. ** ** *** ** *** ****** ********* ** **** *** I had a very good experience with him. He operates in APOLLO SPECTRA HOSPITAL.

Thank you so much Doctor for your help.

Dr. Suraj Lunavat is best urologist and surgeon in Pune. My father was suffering from prostate problem for last 4 months. Initially we took him to one of the known urologist at my native place. After doing eurodynamics (UDS) and other medical examinations; the urologist told us that my father has lost urinary bladder tone due to old age hence prostate surgery will not help him to get cured. He will never be able to pass urine in normal way hence he needs to use urinary catheterization permanently. Considering my father’s critical situation ; we started looking for best urologist in Pune. That time our family friend recommended us about Dr. Lunavat. We visited his clinic located at Tilak road. He checked UDS and sonography reports and also checked my father. He suggested some changes in medicine and asked us to visit him after 4 weeks.

When we visited Dr. Suraj Sir after 4 weeks ; he asked my father to do UDS and sonography again at Ratna memorial hospital. Now the new reports were showing littele improvement in my father’s health condition but still it was not sure if my father can urine in normal way in future. Hence Dr Suraj Sir decided to conduct cystoscopy to examine the bladder condition and decide the wayforward to treat my father’s heath problem. After doing scopy at Apollo spectra hospital ; he explained us the health condition and advised to do prostate surgery immediately. The surgery was successful but the doctor asked my father to keep catheterization for 3 more weeks and continue the medicines. After 3 weeks ; the doctor took out catheterization and examined the my father’s urinary bladder condition. There was much improvement in urinary bladder condition hence my father started passing out urine in normal way. We would like to thank Dr Suraj Sir for curing my father’s health problem.

Dr. Suraj Sir is expert in his field hence we would like to recommend him for any urology related problems.

If I want to elaborate in one word I would say “outstanding”.I come from a medical background with my grandfather as a civil surgeon.From childhood I have seen so many doctors being practical,proffessional and others mixed bag of both positive and negative traits.But Mr.Suraj Lunavat has been dynamic both professionally and behaviour wise.I had consulted him for my father been diagnosed with prostate cancer.His engagements and concerns towards his patients are simply speechless.Infact my father who has been treated by him with TURP and B/L Orchiectomy is really feeling better and recovering fast.He is in his constant observation on calls,WhatsApp and in person meeting if required.He is really Empathetic towards his patients and he would be the only doctor I would be consulting for my father’s further oncological treatments as my father himself wants to be operated under him and his guidance.

I would highly recommend Mr Lunavat if any of the patient is suffering from a similar disease or any urological disorders and is based in Pune.Without a doubt straight away reach out to him.

I would also like to thank Mr Lunavat personally on this platform for the successful treatment of my father and the coming future treatments under your guidance.I also appreciate his humbleness and honesty.

My father had a history of kidney stones and all of sudden he started feeling a pain in lower back and he started complaining about less urination. Immediately we consulted Dr. Suraj Lunavat and got the best advice.

As per ultrasound, position of stones was bit odd so only option to get it removed was the surgical one.

As we know this is the era of automation and technology , everybody likes for advanced things which causes very less pain and more comfort to the patient post surgery.

Dr. Lunavat is not only excellent doctor but also he is great and skilled surgeon especially in advanced technologies.

It was not over yet over for us. At the time of surgery, it was also identified that some part of prostate has to be removed as that was the main culprit even more than stones.Dr. Lunavat done it with extreme agility and in next 40 odd mins , its all done !!

We wish all the best to Dr. Lunavat. I would personally recommend him in case you / your loved ones facing any issues in uro.

He is attached to 3 main hospitals in Pune.

Ratna hospital, Jagangir and Apollo spectra.

His clinic is at Tilak road :

Indira Chambers, 1549-B, Lokmanya Bal Gangadhar Tilak Rd, opp. Maharashtra Mandal, Ramashram Society, Perugate, Sadashiv Peth, Pune, Maharashtra 411030

I highly recommend him from my recent experience.

My 68-year-old mother was suffering from Kidney Stones from many years and tried all possible medications but nothing worked and the pain was beyond tolerance.

I got details of Dr. Suraj Lunavat when I was researching for a good doctor who is professional, skilled and knowledgeable.

We were very impressed from our first meeting itself. He is very experienced, detail oriented and on the top of that very polite and courteous. We did not feel rushed at all.

He took time to answer all our concerns & educated us as well. He explained the course of actions that he will be taking prior and during the surgery.

He took upmost care during the surgery of my mother, who was afraid in the beginning. He also ensured that she should feel relaxed, fearless and stress free.

He did surgery very well and removed stones smoothly with his expertise.

My mother is now perfectly well and recovering without any side effects and pain.

Dr. Suraj Lunavat is exceptionally outstanding Urologist of treating patients and curing them with accurate medications/surgery and moreover with his polite and empathetic nature.

Dr. Suraj Lunavat, my best wishes to you.

It is such a blessing to have met Doctor like you.

Warm Regards,
