Visited For Pacemaker Implantation
Happy with: Doctor friendlinessExplanation of the health issueTreatment satisfaction
We met Dr Abhay Somani first time when we rushed my 80 yrs. old mother-in-law to hospital with condition of ‘Heart Failure'.
After investigations, he suggested Angiography and a ‘Pacemaker Implant'. Initially, we had serious reservations whether she will be able to withstand this surgery at this old age. Dr Somani listened to our doubts and convinced us that it is totally safe to go ahead with this surgery and it will improve her condition very much.
She has 3 coronary stents, 2, renal stents put and a pacemaker implanted in her body, done by Dr. Somani. Her condition has improved significantly since her surgery and heart is now functioning perfectly fine. Her heart function capacity which had dropped down to 35% (LVEF) has now gone up to 50% which is considered normal. Her Atrial Fibrillation (AF) load has also come down substantially since her surgery. It was a good decision we took to go ahead with surgery even if she is old.
The best quality about Dr Somani is that he listens to the doubts of the patients and explains the pros and cons of his actions. Also, he is very easily approachable, always available on phone for any guidance and replies to the queries sent on phone. This is a quality not seen in very many doctors these days.
May God bless him.

It was in April 2020 during lockdown out of the blue I got an heart attack. As I reside at Salunkhe Vihar Road my family rushed me to Ruby Hall Wanowri, which we reached within 10 minutes or so. The ER personal immediately contacted Dr. Abhay Somani and administered the required emergency treatment.
Within a hour or so I started feeling comfortable again as the sweating stopped, the shoulder and arm pain eased and the tightness in the chest subsided, it seemed things were returning to normal.
After I tested negative for covid (which took 2 days) I was taken for an Angiogram.
Now I must admit my nervousness, as a smoker I was just praying that I don't have to put more than one stent, anyway Dr. Somani calmed me and completed the Angiogram ever so gently and thoroughly, after which he went out and spoke to my Son and Daughter, and here I was with my fingers crossed, praying, only one, only one.
The Doctor returned and told me," Mr. Sheikh you don't need any stents", can you imagine the joy I felt.
Here I wish to express my genuine respect for Dr. Abhay Somani who in these very trying and confusing times has shown such high standards of ethics and competence Thank you Sir.
It's now nearly 10 months and under Dr. Somanis treatment I have resumed all my normal activities excepting smoking ofcourse.
I also thank the staff & Doctors of Ruby Hall Wanowri.

Hi,
I was rushed to the emergency room due to a heart attack, and Dr. Abhay Somani was a lifesaver for me. He immediately attended to my treatment, even though it was a Sunday and he was on leave. Following a successful Angiography and Angioplasty surgery, he provided comprehensive explanations and support to both me and my family. In addition to the medical treatment, he offered psychological encouragement that greatly helped me. It has been one month since the Surgery and I am now returning back to normal routine slowly. He was kind enough to share his personal mobile number in case there are any emergencies. During our follow-up appointments, he patiently listens to all our concerns and provides thorough answers.
Thank you so much Dr. Somani!
Best regards,
Devanshu Agarwal

Ugly Experience:
I took my mom for annual health check-up at Ruby Wanowrie and they said ECG is little off + Stress Test is bad. We consulted Dr. Abhay Somani and he said, Angiography is must to identify issue. Post Angiography, he insisted to do Angioplasty with 2 blockages of 95% and 75 %. Surgery went well, he used stent only for 95% blockage and said 2nd 75% will be treated with medicines.
** ** **** ********** ** ****** ********** *** asking patients to visit him every month paying around Rs. 1000 INR for each appointment.
He doesn't even listens to patients complaints or issues, month after month, he continued to provide my mother same prescription repeatedly. ***** ********* **** *** ******* ** ***** **** *** *** ****** *** ************** *** ** ********* **** **** ***** ***** We use to pay around Rs. 7000 INR per month on medicines alone.

On 23rd Aug 20 I had severe pain in my lower neck and shoulders. We immediately approached Ruby Hall Clinic Wanorie and initially diagnosed mild heart attack. As per our wish the hospital contacted Dr. Abhay Somani and without any delay he reached hospital in time and performed angiography and angioplasty.
Throughout the procedure he was cool / calm friendly. He made me feel comfortable during angiography and angioplasty.
He is extremely confidant of diagnosis and treatment. He is easily approachable 24 X 7 .
God bless you Dr. Somani.

Happy with: Treatment satisfactionDoctor friendliness
I must say Dr. Abhay is Dr. Cool & Calm. He is very calm and composed in treating his patients. This is the biggest asset of a successful doctor. I visited doctor for pain in chest and hypertension issues. Firstly Dr. Abhay checked for any heart issues with ECG, 2D Echo and stress test and confirmed me that my heart is working fine without any problems. Then he asked me to monitor the BP for 10 days so that it can a issue of extra stress before putting me on medications. But my BP was on higher side. He then prescribed me with hypertension pills and I’m under his medications. Thanks a lot Dr. Abhay.

Hello. This is Rahul Patil. In May, I had been diagnosed with mild dilated cardiomyopathy. With our family doctor's reference, i got admitted in Ruby Hall Wanawadi. When we did our 1st 2D echo, my heart pumping (LVEF) was 10-15 %. I was in big shock. Infact everyone in our family was in shock. There we consulted Dr. Abhay Somani. He has really guided us in our tough times. He is very calm & answers all your doubts. With his support, medication & proper check up, my heart has reached to normalcy in 4 months (LVEF 50%). All thanks to Dr. Abhay Somani.
We will surely recommend him if anyone has heart related problems.
