Really easy process and excellent experience with Dr. Shefali Agrawal from start to finish. She’s a tremendous surgeon no doubt. As for the first timer i had a really good experience with her for my breast tumour surgery. She combines expertise and a willingness to listen & discuss. Not only has she taken a great care of my health but also she is lovely to speak with at every appointment. It’s rare to find a doctor that combines such personal touches & care for a patient as a person with outstanding quality of medical care. At every step she ensured i had a smooth prep , surgery and follow up. She never forget to take an update of her patient after the surgery too & i feel that’s the best thing about her. I’m still in touch with her for my further check up and she’s is really helpful with everything Im so glad i chose Dr. Shefali for my surgery and would highly recommend to become her patient!!

It’s hard to accept our loved one getting cancer. After performing thorough search for the best Surgical Oncologist we met Dr. Shefali Agrawal. Dr. Agrawal explained to us in detail every minor aspect of the disease and a Breast Conservation Surgery was performed successfully. I must say Dr. Shefali is right there at the top in oncosurgery and cancer treatment which we could have got in Europe or USA. During surgery the tumor was bigger than expected and Dr. Agrawal managed to remove it successfully. Although surgery part is done but we are still consulting Dr. Shefali because she has a better visibility on latest and new breast cancer treatments available around the world.

I work in the fashion industry was referred to Dr. Agrawal for a lump in my breast by my gynaecologist. I was terrified at the thought of surgery. Dr. Agrawal was thorough and only ordered the investigations I needed avoiding waste of time and money. My diagnosis was confirmed by her team of breast cancer experts in a few days. The tumor was removed successfully and she used oncoplastic surgery to give me an amazing cosmetic result where I can barely see the incision. I was discharged the next morning after one night stay and returned to my work in three days with confidence. She not only saved my life but also saved my quality of life. I will always be deeply grateful to Dr. Agrawal for her skills, knowledge and compassion which give women a second life.
