Simply put, Dr. Navrose Grewal and his team are remarkable! Our experience with Dr. Grewal has been…read morenothing short of exceptional and I would feel completely comfortable if my family or I were ever under his care again.
Our Story: My dad, 52 years old, experienced a heart attack and it was recommended that coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) be performed. Having never gone through such a serious procedure, our concerns were tied to whether we were making the best decision in support of my father's health & treatment... the answer is a resounding YES!
From the beginning, Dr. Grewal was comforting and informative, and never pressured us into opting for surgery. However, with my dad's condition and long-term health in mind, he did educate us on the scenario and how CABG would, ultimately, be his best option. My dad opted for the CABG. It was scheduled within the same week.
The day before my dad's surgery, I gave Dr. Grewal a call to ease my mind of a common truth - we don't all have the luxury of spectacular health insurance... and I think that can mislead us into believing we are receiving sub-prime care. In our case, my dad was at a hospital which doesn't have the best ratings and has a mediocre reputation (note: this is not Dr. Grewal's fault as he is independent of the hospital). I asked Dr. Grewal candidly, "how do I know my dad is getting the best care available to us?" Dr. Grewal's response was all I needed. He took the time to reassure me of his extensive UCLA training; his repeated success as a surgeon in various hospitals; his leadership in restructuring our hospital's cardiothoracic systems and equipment; and his genuine desire to treat my dad. He recognized that, although my father was not at a 5-star hospital, the quality of care my dad would be receiving from he and his team would be just as good as you would find in the 5-star hospitals. After that conversation, I was at ease.
Needless to say, the CABG was a success and my father is almost fully recovered eight weeks later. In the weeks following surgery, Dr. Grewal's post-op care has been very good with regular follow-ups and on call treatment. His staff is always a pleasure -and occasionally entertaining (as reflected in the previous post)- to talk to; they go out of their way to serve the patient, communicate to the doctor, and comfort the family.
Whichever hospital you find yourself in, I'm sure that you'll find yourself in sure hands, with a first-rate team, a confident surgeon, and an attentive staff if Dr. Grewal is your surgeon.
Reader - Best of wishes to you and your family, and God bless.
