Feedback & Review From Our Patient
My father underwent Whipples surgery under Dr Pankaj Kumar Sonar. Sir has always been clear about the way the treatment should proceed. The surgery was done meticulously and we were not expecting such smooth recovery given the difficult surgery. He was discharged on the 7th day of surgery. Sir was very caring in the post operative and follow up period. Thank you very much.

"Dr. Pankaj Kumar Sonar is an excellent surgeon. I had my gallbladder stone surgery on 30 July 2026, was discharged on 31 July 2026, and had my follow-up check-up on 12 August 2026. Everything went smoothly, and my recovery has been very good. The doctor is highly skilled, caring, and explains everything clearly. I highly recommend Dr. Pankaj Kumar Sonar for gallbladder stone surgery."

"Dr. Pankaj Kumar Sonar is not just a doctor to us, he is like God. After visiting many hospitals, when I finally came to Narayana Health, I had almost lost all hope and confidence. But the doctors here encouraged us with so much care and positivity that we will always remain grateful to them.”
