મારાં પપ્પા ને લીમ્ફોમા હતું. અમને ડર લાગતો હતો કે શું થશે. Dr. Shirish Alurkar એ case ને calmly handle કર્યું. Unhe chemotherapy અને supportive care આપી. આજે reports normal છે અને પપ્પા ફરીથી smiling છે. એમની સાદગી અને dedication જોઈને faith આવી ગયો કે everything will be okay.
Jyoti aunty ko breast cancer diagnosis mila. Family ka morale down tha. Dr. Shirish Alurkar ne personally unse baat ki, chemotherapy aur lifestyle guidance diya. Aaj unka confidence wapas aa gaya hai. Woh sirf doctor nahi, ek mentor jaise rahe. Har patient ko unka care chahiye.
पिंकी की उम्र सिर्फ 25 थी जब उसे ovarian cancer हुआ। पूरा परिवार डर गया था। Dr. Alurkar ने एकदम calm तरीके से सब समझाया। उन्होंने chemo और hormonal therapy का combination दिया। आज उसकी शादी भी हो गई और reports भी normal हैं। ऐसे डॉक्टर बहुत rare होते हैं।
My cousin Anjali was diagnosed with Hodgkin’s lymphoma last year. We were shattered. Dr. Shirish Alurkar took the case personally, explained the treatment steps, and started immunotherapy. Today, she's in remission. More than a doctor, he was a constant source of encouragement throughout. Forever grateful for the best cancer doctor in Ahemdabad.
