Apollo Spectra Hospitals

Doctor Anand Kavi, or sir as my family fondly calls him, treated my mother for L4-L5 endoscopic lumbar spine surgery this Saturday and mummy was walking on Sunday morning, and its not even 2 days and she is already home. I could not have imagined this, walking the next day of a spine surgery. Sir, is more than a doctor, he is a friend, a guide, a guru, an angel by all means. He is the best doctor to guide and treat you or your loved one and gives ample time. And if you have any doubts about the surgery or searching for a surgeon to consult please remove them and meet him. You are lucky that you are reading this. I was in your place not even a week ago.

Please continue reading if need more details.

Mummy had a spine issue from 2007 and over years we tried few treatments, allopathy and others, some relief used to be there but nothing cured it. Slowly I think the pain became a part of her life so she started ignoring it and we all took it lightly. Which we should not have, back ache should be treated immediately. Recently, the problem exaggerated, the pain was unbearable this time so we showed it to an Orthopaedic (other doctor) That whole day went in taking mri, x-rays etc and meeting that doctor few times, he suggested immediate back surgery and then knees surgery in a year's time.

We thought of taking a second opinion. We came to know about Dr. Anand through a family friend who he had operated on and they spoke highly of him, I got his personal number, he spoke very calmly with respect, gave an appointment for next day and shared the location on phone, next day we were delayed by few minutes but he was cool as a cucumber, and welcomed us, relaxed my mother, he checked her back, legs, knees for pain and then saw the reports that we had already done before and explained everything to us in detail (he will give you ample time, more than any doctor I have ever met). He told us that the we should go for the surgery, as the nerve is getting compressed (stenosis). He said an endoscopic surgery is not complicated like the old surgeries and next day you can walk, they only have to make a little cut in back and even that heals without any scar as such. We came home relaxed.

Surgery was planned on Saturday, in between me and my brother met sir again with my queries next day, he met us and solved them even though he had a surgery same day. I called / messaged him, he answered or called back and replied to messages with calming messages. We got admitted on the day surgery at Apollo Spectra , sir's entire team was really good, its a hospital without a hospital vibe, very relaxed. Surgery was in the afternoon, and after that sir called and met me and spoke to me in detail about how well the surgery went and if you have met sir and reading this review for affirmation, if he has told you surgery is the best option, just trust and go ahead without thinking. I will tell you why - So initially in our first appointment while looking at reports he had suggested surgery at two levels (L4-L5, L5-s1) but after surgery when he spoke to me, he told me they operated only on L4-L5 as he found the other level L5-s1 was strong and could be treated without surgery and will be strong for years to come if taken precaution. This is how committed Doctor Kavi is and and does not operate for the sake of it.

The next day of surgery sir came to check the progress, he joked with my mother to make her feel relaxed as just after surgery there is pain due to swelling in nerve, yet she walked a little. My father met Dr. Anand Kavi for the first time that day and listened to my father's poems/thoughts which he had penned down very affectionately and we laughed a lot that day.

On 2nd day she walked without any support and climbed a flight of stairs by touching the wall. She is back home now happy and feeling relaxed and is doing her exercises as I write.

And if you are scared for yourself or a loved one, trust me they are in best hands. He is an internationally acclaimed surgeon. We are lucky and blessed to have met him. We found a God like Human in him!

Dr. Suraj Lunavat is greatest and excellent urologist not only in pune but also in india.** ** **** *******The way he understand patient problems and talks with patients is very nice.He is humble and polite doctor.I am from solapur(Maharashtra).My father has large prostate enlargement problem.Firstly, I admitted my father in hospital in solapur,the hospital called urology doctor in solapur who inserted pipes in urinary area of my father for 15 days.The doctor told me that surgery is necessary to remove prostate,but it is not possible to do it in solapur. So he advised me to go in pune. So I searched best urologist in pune and I get the name of Dr.Suraj Lunavat.** ** ***** *****I contacted Dr.Suraj Lunavat and send all reports on his what's up number.He called us in pune. We went to pune with pipe in urinary area of my father.In Apollo spectra hospital Dr.suraj Lunavat checked my father and made successful surgery of prostate on very next day. Today, my father has very nice feelings because his all urinary problems are stopped. I highly recommend Dr.Suraj Lunavat in all kind of urinary problems like prostate enlargement and kidney problems.

*** ***** **** ** *** *******He takes time to listen. The treatment that we receive from Dr. Anand Kavi is excellent.

We are from Thane (Mumbai). My Wife was suffering from chronic LEG Pain since last 4-5 months.

On investigation & MRI, all doctors in Mumbai suggested us the open spine surgery. This takes 3-4 months to heal post-surgery as it includes stiches and risk of nerve damages.

In between we came to know about Dr. Anand Kavi from Pune through our relative.

He consulted us over phone, listen to complaints & suggested us the Endoscopic Spine Decompression. He assured us that patient will be relieved from pain & there is zero risk in this surgery.

We decided to go with Dr. Anand Kavi's suggestion & did the surgery at Pune. Immediately after surgery, in 2-3 Hrs. my wife started walking in room & we got discharge very next day.

I am writing this review after a week now & happy that my wife is perfectly fine & have started doing her regular activates.

Dr. Anand Kavi really strives to give the best care possible to each of his patients.

We suggest everyone, who is suffering from back pain/Leg Pain/Slip Disc & planning for surgery to meet Dr. Kavi once.

During this Covid19 Pandemic one of my relative was facing kidney stone problem in Pune, our old practitioner had given diagnosis that kidney is not functional and needs to do DTPA, further we consulted Dr. Suraj Lunavat who explained health issue and suggested for surgery in Apollo Spectra Hospitals at Sadashiv Peth. Without loss of time entire team had completed surgery and they have taken utmost care of patient during hospitalization in such critical pandemic situations. Dr. Suraj Lunavat is very experienced in urology and his friendliness, explaining nature to patients makes them confident. Thanks to all Apollo Spectra staff who also supported well and taken care, hospital is very clean and they are special in handling critical cares.

I recommend Dr. Suraj Lunavat and Apollo hospital for treatments better results.

I went two Dr Nachiket Kulkarni before 2 years. I was very much frustrated then because I was not able to walk and do my day today work.

But because of proper guidance and medicines given by the doctor my health has improved very much. It is like a miracle in my life. Doctor not only helped me recover my health but also helped to me in gaining back my confidence. Before meeting the doctor I believe that rumatoid at arthritis could not be cured. But Dr Nachiket boosted my self-confidence and gave me a positive attitude to overcome rheumatoid arthritis. Many many thanks to Dr Nachiket Kulkarni

Dr Kavi is a specialist in spine injury treatment. My slip-disc injury was so severe that I got bedridden for a month. I consulted few doctors but none of them were able to give me the level of confidence for undergoing with surgery until I met Dr Kavi. He almost gave me an hour when I first met him at his clinic for initial consultation. He explained me the possible reasons of the injury and also explained the endoscopic surgical procedure in detail, which gave me the required confidence and trust to proceed with the surgery. He operated me in Apollo hospital. The surgery took around 2 hours and by evening I was able to walk again. Its been more than 10 days since the surgery. My pain is completely gone and I have slowly started to get back on my routine. All thank to Dr Kavi.I wish him all the best!!!!

We visited the Doctor @Sadashiv Peth clinic, doctor checked patient and suggested for some test which will help to understand the patient body situation and to go or not go for the surgery.

After test result, doctor explained situation of the patient very clearly. Also cleared all queries/problem before moving for the surgery(BNI,TURP & CYSTO).

And in a week, schedule the surgery and it's painless. Now, my father is in good condition. ******* ******* **** ******Doctor is very humble and very careful about the patient.

Thank you once again Dr.Suraj Lunavat.

I had fantastic experience with Dr.Suraj. The most appealing things are he is very approachable, soft spoken and explains complicated things in simpler way. There is no doubt that you are in safe hands for any procedure. I'd surely recommend him for any urological issues.
