I went to Dr Ankolekar due to a sudden and alarming visual disturbance. He listened carefully and sympathetically to my concerns and explained things very clearly including next steps. The follow-up consultation was equally clear and reassuring. I would strongly recommend Dr Ankolekar.

Dr. Ankolekar has been an exceptional stroke specialist throughout my mum’s treatment and recovery. From the very beginning, he showed not only outstanding medical expertise but also genuine compassion and patience. He took the time to explain every step of her diagnosis, treatment options, and progress in a way our whole family could understand, which made an incredibly difficult time feel more manageable. His calm, reassuring approach helped my mum feel safe and supported, and his attention to detail gave us complete confidence in her care. It’s clear that he truly cares about his patients’ wellbeing, both medically and emotionally. Thanks to Dr. Ankolekar’s guidance, professionalism, and kindness, my mum has made remarkable progress. We are deeply grateful for everything he has done for her and for our family. I would highly recommend Dr. Ankolekar to anyone in need of a skilled and compassionate stroke specialist.
