I have very rarely met such doctors in my life.
He gives the hospital a good reputation and will make it even more well known.
Overall, my mother and I had a good experience with the other staff.
The only problem was with the billing manager.
I do not know his name; he was overweight and very rude, demanding extra money, talking about a service fee for staff and administration due to COVID-19.
I was not informed about this at the finance department when I was paying for the cataract surgery.
But in any case, my problem was solved by the doctor and the administration.
Many thanks to the management of Nanavati Hospital.
I will definitely recommend it to my relatives because of the very experienced and brilliant doctors.
Quick response.

Because of this, I had many difficulties working in the office, performing daily tasks, in road traffic, and in other matters of daily life.
I urgently needed cataract surgery.
I searched for a solution for a long time, consulted many people, and also searched on the Internet.
Then I realized that I could solve my problem at Nanavati Hospital.
I met Dr. Nikhil Sardar, an eye surgeon at Nanavati Hospital, and decided to have the surgery.
First I had surgery on my right eye on 11 November 2019, since the degree of cataract in it was higher.
Then a month later, surgery was performed on my left eye on 16 December 2019.
I am fully satisfied.
I am very grateful to Dr. Nikhil Sardar.
The entire staff of Nanavati Hospital — nurses, cleaning, food, and other services — is very good.
If needed in the future, I would like to receive treatment specifically at Nanavati Hospital.
Thank you,

Dr. Nikhil S. Sardar is an Indian ophthalmologist, Senior Consultant and Head of the Ophthalmology Department at Nanavati Max Super Speciality Hospital in Mumbai. He also works as Chief Ophthalmologist at Criticare Asia Hospital (Andheri, Mumbai) and has been running a private practice at his own Bhavna Nursing Home & Eye Care Centre in Vile Parle since 2002.
His professional expertise covers almost the entire modern spectrum of eye surgery: cataract removal with implantation of premium multifocal and toric intraocular lenses, laser vision correction (LASIK, Contoura LASIK, ICL implantation for patients for whom standard LASIK is not suitable), retinal and vitreous surgery, glaucoma treatment, oculoplasty, dry eye syndrome treatment, and pediatric ophthalmology. A particularly valuable advantage is his two fellowship programs at two benchmark Indian centers: phacoemulsification (Bombay City Eye Institute, 2000) and retina/vitreous (LV Prasad Eye Institute, Hyderabad, 2010).
This combination makes Dr. Sardar a convenient choice for patients with complex cases — for example, in cases of diabetic retinopathy together with cataract there is no need to look for two different surgeons. According to reviews, patients note his professional and empathetic approach. He consults in English, Hindi, and Marathi.
