Patient Testimonials

I am Mohan Gajria, a liver transplant patient, and I am deeply grateful to the team at Sir H.N. Reliance Foundation Hospital for giving me a second chance at life. I received the call that a donor liver was available, and Dr. Prashantha Rao guided me through every detail with utmost care. The surgery was successful, and I had the privilege of being cared for by an exceptional team of doctors, including Dr. Ravi Mohanka, Dr. Ameya Panchwagh, Dr. Mitul Shah, Dr. Akash Shukla, Dr. Amit Gupte, Dr. Mihir Vora, and Dr. Sandeep, who were always available during my 15-day hospital stay.I especially want to thank Dr. Mihir Vora, my consultant for over 4 years, who has been a constant support in managing my health, day or night. His dedication and quick responses have been invaluable.

Today, 28 months post-transplant, I feel healthier than ever and can live my life fully, thanks to the continuous care of the entire team. My experience with Sir H.N. Reliance Foundation Hospital has been exceptional, and I consider it one of the best hospitals in the country. Thank you to all the doctors and staff for their unwavering support.

I, Suchendra Singhvi, would like to share my experience during and after my liver transplant. I was diagnosed with liver cirrhosis in July 2021, and my condition worsened until May 2023 when I was able to proceed with the transplant. I am incredibly grateful to my brother, Ravindra Singhvi (the liver donor), Dr. Ravi Mohanka’s surgical team, and Dr. Akash Shukla’s hepatology team for their exceptional care. Both my brother and I were in the best hands. The doctors, ICU staff, and hospital team took excellent care of us, and words cannot fully express my gratitude for their services.

Thanks to their guidance, I was back to normal life within 2–3 months after the surgery. It’s been 15 months now, and I am completely healthy with no issues. My heartfelt thanks to my brother, Dr. Ravi Mohanka, Dr. Akash Shukla, and the entire hospital staff for granting me a second chance at life.

My experience at Reliance Hospital has been one of a kind. The best was the doctor-patient relationship that I had experienced. The doctors here are very knowledgeable and care for their patients a lot. The liver transplant process was easy and I recovered fast. Since the moment I registered for the transplant to the day of transplant and till date, they have always monitored my progress with keen attention and have answered even the silliest doubts I had. The staff as well are very polite. While I was in the ICU, the staff took great care of me and pushed me when I lost my confidence. The ambiance and cleanliness at the hospital is also something which needs appreciation.

My overall experience throughout these years has been pretty amazing that anyone who asks me, I always recommend Reliance Foundation Hospital.
