Dr kulkarni is an exceptional doctor, I have never seen such a humble, approachable and talented doctor. Dr kulkarni treated my father in law, who had multiple complications, he performed the pocket heart surgery which was minimal invasive and my father in-law was able to recover soon. Thank you Sir for all help and support.

Dr. Kulkarni thank you for giving the right guidance and a very complicated & successful bypass surgery done on me. I am eternally greatful. The best part of Dr. Kulkarni are as follows:- - Brilliant and patient explanation on why the surgery. - Accommodation for surgery on convenience of patient. - Team of doctor ( Dr. Sunil More) who has a perfect understanding. - Post operative, I had developed some complications. His personal bi hourly monitoring of my health and guidance ensured I recover well. That's in leadership personifies ownership and care for patients. A lesson for life for me. - Helped during Discharge with necessary clarifications. - Always accessible post operative and Discharge for guidance. - Absolutely humble and down to earth personality. If anyone has a heart or organ transplant, highly recommend for treatment under him or do consult him once. He is also an expert in minimal invasive procedure as applicable. Thank you again !

Dr. Chandrashekhar Kulkarni has truly been a blessing for our family during a very critical time. My mother was taken to the emergency with multiple blockages, and CABG (MICS) was advised. His calm, practical, and humble approach gave us great confidence and reassurance. The surgery was successful, and she is now on her way to recovery. We are deeply grateful for his expertise and care. He supported us throughout the journey and made a very difficult situation much easier to handle. Truly a great surgeon and a wonderful human being. Words feel insufficient to express our gratitude for everything he has done. I would highly recommend him to anyone in need of cardiac care. Best wishes and regards, Shukla Family
