While traveling in Mumbai, our toddler fell on the stairs and suffered a deep lip cut. We were fortunate to be treated by Dr. Saxena at Nanavati Hospital, and the care we received was exceptional. From our first conversation through the procedure and follow-up, Dr. Saxena was compassionate, professional, and reassuring. He provided clear instructions, made the admission process smooth, and took the time to answer all of our questions without ever making us feel rushed. His entire team was warm and welcoming, helping us feel at ease during a stressful situation. Most importantly, our son was treated with genuine kindness and care. The procedure went smoothly, his recovery was excellent, and Dr. Saxena even followed up afterward to check on him. We are incredibly grateful for the outstanding care and would highly recommend Dr. Saxena to anyone seeking a skilled and compassionate doctor.Posted on Google seemant meenaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

I had a very good experience with Dr. Bharat. The doctor explained the procedure clearly, post procedure results with honesty, answered all my questions patiently, and made me feel comfortable throughout the process. The surgery went smoothly, and I really appreciated the doctor's knowledge, care, and support.Posted on Google Jogendra Nath KunduTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had an incredible experience with Dr. Bharat Saxena. My mother was dealing with a highly complex, recurrent post-APR perineal hernia (severe pelvic floor deformation) following her rectal cancer surgery. After a previous hernia surgery failed in Delhi, we were very anxious. I initially reached out to Dr. Saxena with her case, and he was super supportive right from the start. His quick and reassuring responses gave us the confidence to arrange my parents' travel from Odisha to Mumbai. During the consultation, he clearly explained the entire process and did not hesitate to perform the right, complex reconstructive surgery (a VRAM with a VY Gluteal flap), which is shown to have good success for this rare condition. As a plastic surgeon, his expertise in pelvic floor reconstruction is unmatched. Beyond his brilliant surgical skills, he is super approachable, incredibly supportive, and provides absolutely great post-surgery care. Thank you so much, Dr. Saxena, for taking on this complex case and giving our family peace of mind!Posted on Google Vineet UpadhyayTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

The entire experience, from consultation to surgery, was handled with great professionalism, compassion, and reassurance. A special thanks to anaesthetic specialist Dr. Bhatti, whose calm and caring approach made us feel confident and comfortable throughout the procedure. The suture surgery was performed smoothly and with great precision, and the care shown towards our child and family meant a lot to us. Thank you so much.Posted on Google Kashish SinghTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
