Approximately one month ago, I was diagnosed with renal and upper ureteral calculi (approx. 12mm) and I knew this time the journey would not be simple. My quick AI search for a trustworthy and skilled urologist in Pune led me to Dr. SK Palash, and choosing him for my treatment turned out to be one of the best medical decisions I have made. 😊🙏 From the very first interaction, it was clear why he is so highly recommended. During my very first OPD visit, Dr. Palash devoted nearly an hour to understanding my case in detail and explaining it to me with remarkable clarity. He systematically described the nature of my condition, the treatment options available and what he personally recommended. He backed every suggestion with sound reasoning and scientific evidence. What stood out most was his patient-centric approach. He encouraged me to ask questions, addressed every doubt with patience and ensured that I felt informed and empowered to participate in decision-making about my own treatment. My treatment required a staged approach, beginning with DJ stenting (for about three weeks) followed by a Retrograde Intrarenal Surgery (RIRS) and finally the stent removal. Throughout this period, Dr. Palash ensured that everything was planned and executed smoothly. He helped us select a hospital convenient for us in terms of location, insurance and stay. He personally coordinated with the hospital team so that admissions, investigations, and preparations were seamless. Both my procedures were carried out meticulously and the entire treatment course was smooth and uncomplicated. Beyond his surgical skill and clinical expertise, what truly made a difference was the reassurance and constant support he provided throughout the journey. Whenever I had concerns (medical or logistical) he was approachable and responsive (even at odd hours), offering clear guidance that put my mind at ease. 🙏🙏 I can say with confidence that doctors like Dr. Palash are rare. It is uncommon to find a clinician who combines such high-level knowledge and technical skill with genuine kindness, humility, and empathy. 🫡 His team reflects the same values and contributes to the high standard of care he provides. In my view, he is undoubtedly among the best urologists. I remain deeply grateful to Dr. SK Palash sir for the exceptional care he has given me. His dedication, professionalism, and humane approach transformed what could have been a very difficult phase into a well-supported and positive experience.😊
