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 had a wonderful treatment experience with Dr. Suraj Lunavat at Ratna Hospital & Apollo Hospital, in fact I had no clue about Ratna Hospital, I searched **** Urologist in Pune and I came across many names and I had read many reviews and impressed with Dr Suraj reviews,
I visited him in 2019 January for Circumcision & in 2021 Kidney stent removal,
Dec 2019 I visited my home town Tamil Nadu, and I had severe pain in my abdomen when I diagnosed I got to know multiple calculi in both the Kidney’s and one in Ureter which is giving pain, I have advised by the local doctor to undergo immediate Surgery for the one which is ureter,
If I was in Pune I would visited Dr Suraj, but I was in TN I Visit Apollo Chennai, where I met a Urologist who had 32 years of experience but do know how to treat his Patient, very arrogant and attitude, hence I changed the hospital to Sri Ramachandra and removed the stone from the Ureter and kept the Stent and advised me for further Surgery in the month of Jan 21, but I am not that comfortable with the hospital and their treatment,
I visited Dr Suraj on 16 Feb 21 for Stent removal, he advised me that instead of removing only stent I will remove the stone along with that he asked me to admit on 20 Feb 21 which is On my Birthday, but I didn’t even informed him about my birthday, he removed stones from both the kidney in one sitting, and kept Stent in Left Kidney, when I went for Stent removal he just removed in 1 mins with local Anesthesia,
Key points that makes him one of the few best urologists are-
1. He is polite with no attitude an extremely listener. Without interrupting you, he will first listen to your story, and he will explain multiple solution and finally he will recommend & suggest which the best.
2. He will explains the procedure in detail with a diagram that is going to be done as a part of your treatment.
3. He comforts his patients by giving a confidence that things will be fine soon and builds confidence within the patients opting for an invasive surgery. This largely helps in dissolving the anxiety about that procedure.
4. He is extremely clever and confident at his work and the treatment part that works out to be completely safe and successful.
5. He is extremely genuine and never tries to misguide his patients to go for unnecessary treatments, diagnostic reports or anything that is unwanted. He recommended Apollo Pune for my surgery even their he didn’t not asked me to do multiple test, he just recommended heart Xray due to Anesthesia,
I Strongly recommend Dr. SURAJ LUNAVAT for any kind of urological related Treatment ** ** *** **** ********* ** **** ***

I had undergone Kidney Stone surgeries previously 2 times at other places. There the experience was not to full satisfaction. But with Dr. Suraj Lunavat, it was wonderful experience.
I found him quick n perfect in diagnosis/ decisions, he explained everything very nicely. Very imp is I was in safe hands all the time. He doesn't go for any shortcuts, he followed everything that was essential for my health and safety. During surgery, all imp procedures were done by himself only, he did not offload it to any sraff. Even the subsequent staint removal was done by himself only.
I m delighted and would definitely recommend Dr. Suraj Lunavat for others. Thank you

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.
Visited For Kidney Stone Treatment

I was having acidity like pain in stomach for which my physician suggested ultrasound, when I got it done, everything else was fine, but I came to know there are multiple stones in both kidneys and two of them are big enough (9mm and 12 mm) and they are on either side. Others were small stones (2 mm and 4 mm).
I started looking for urologist in pune and came to know about Dr. Suraj Lunavat. Checked reviews on Google as well as on Practo, so decided to consult him for both the stones.
Consulted Dr. Lunavat in Ratna hospital, and indeed, he is a gem of a person, very soft spoken, hears all our questions patiently, and then explains things using diagrams with pen and paper. He suggested getting x-ray done and stones were confirmed in that too. As the stones were still in kidney, it didn't give problem to me till now but they were big enough, so Dr. Lunavat suggested that, it is better if we get them removed otherwise if the stones come down in the ureter, the surgery will need to be done in emergency.
As there are multiple types of surgeries available for kidney stone removal, he suggested to go for RIRS as it is minimally invasive and has best stone free rate out of all the options.
He is very confident in his profession so the way he explained things to me, I was half relived already.
After few days I got CT as suggested by him to know exact location of stones and hardness of the same in both kidneys and after 2 days I got admitted in Ratna hospital for the surgery.
It took around 1.5 hours in the surgery and he did bilateral and put DJ stents in both kidneys which needed to be kept for 3 weeks. I stayed in hospital for a night and next day evening, I was discharged.
Due to stents, it was uncomfortable to pass urine for 2 days but then it was all fine. After 3 weeks, I contacted him for stent removal and that process was also done in day care procedure in Apollo hospital. During stent removal, as a small stone fragment was seen in x-ray, Dr. Lunavat decided to crush that along with stent removal. I got discharge the same day and after 2 days of stent removal, I resumed all my routine of morning walk + jogging.
After few days of stent removal, he even asked me on message on how I am doing, which is something we never expect usually.
He is excellent in his job, and his nature makes him one of the best doctors in for urological problems.
I would surely recommend Dr. Suraj Lunavat for any urology related issues.

********* ****** **** ***** ********* *** * great human being.
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.
