I was the third generation in a family of women, to undergo hysterectomy .So in a sense I was prepared for the worst.
I was told my Dr. Urvashi Prasad Jha is the best in this field but even the knowledge that I was in the safest hands possible that my doctor was brilliant and extremely compassionate with an amazingly capable team did quite prepare me for the miracle of operation and the post operation phase.
Pain was completely absent, and was discharged on day 2. I began a recovery very remarkable in its very ordinariness. I still find it hard to believe that a major organ of my body has been removed and I do not have a mark or scar to prove it.
Dr. Urvashi had performed a 21st century operation and everything said about her stood validated. God bless you Dr. Urvashi

I have been under Dr.Urvashi Prasad Jha's care for almost four years. I use the word 'care' instead of treatment because that's what she gives, care with the treatment which incidentally is the best a woman can get. I am a happier and healthier woman thanks to Dr. Jha.
The
expertise, the warmth and the integrity she brings to the profession is a matter of pride for doctors and for women. I also gratefully acknowledge the care and attention I get from the bright young Dr. Swash, whom I keep troubling at all hours, and the ever smiling and extremely efficient Magi. The three of them have a lifelong friend in me.

Dr. Urvashi Jha
Sometime back in august 2006I went to Dr.sameer Kaur and said Sam I need you to refer me a good gyne and not just someone who deliver babies
“Urvashi Jha” came the prompt reply!
My friend and I hold Sameer in very high esteem, both professionally and personally .So any one recommended by him could only presumably be the best choice I certainly in my case too!
And so I hugged along after making a appointment to Dr.Jha’s Clinic at her residence.
I came to the waiting area and as I sat waiting for her I need desperately took for walls behind the sea of credentials and commendations that adorned mod of the four walls!
Very impressive I muttered to myself, but she is late!!
Not having a choice I decided to wait – a wise ore as I grew to acknowledge later.
Anyway only some 45 minutes later Dr.Jha made her entry to apologize profusely to my delight saying
” Sorry to keep you waiting”.
Hamm at least here a doctor who says sorry and does value the fact that whilst most of us mere mortals
Don’t live such noble live. Such noble lives of saving others perhaps we are not all that useless and that our live is precious too:-My second good impression of Dr.jha.
After I rattled off my gynac history which by this stage was no less than a short story I was asked to undergo tests that were double the length of my saga. Now this was both impressive and suspect! Do I really need all these tests or am I being made to go round the bush?? Thankfully better serve prevailed and I decided to go with the former.
Few days later I returned with all my reports. The prognosis was clear. I was post menopausal now. Having undergone inner stress owing to my mothers.
In February of this year I had another routine stenography to find that the lining of my eternals was usually thick, unusual because in my specific care it should have thinned out because I was post menopausal.
Dr.jha was Quick to pick on this and without any speculation or hesitation told me that she wanted to do a thystteropy directed biopsy DNC to investigate why the lining was thick in any case.
The procedure was done on 15th Feb under ER and on 22nd Feb. the biopsy report confirmed mild hyperplasia
While there was a possibility of this being treated with 9 months of projection treatment and another hysteroscopy to ascertain any improvement. The other option given was a complete hysteroscopy.
Considering I was postmenopausal the uterus was really of no use and my continuous and relative history of ovarian did not help either. But most importantly the history of cancer in my models family had crept me angry open and vanunerable to a possibility of a similar situation.
Of course I could have opted for 9 months of oral treatment with ultrasounds every 1 and half months and a hysteroscopy after 3 months; this is not how I choose to go about it.
So these memory options!
My final deciding factor was a simple Question put for Dr Jha….What would you don’t if you were us??
Dr.Jha prompt reply was” I would have a complete hysteroscopy and not take that I in a 100 chance”.This for me was enough validation to make my decision ever without consulting with my family or then If I can pay without hesitation my implicit faith in Dr. Jha and her credibility.
On 6th March I was admitted at the Apollo hospital and 7th March was my surgery.Post operative recovery was uneventful and for smoother than that imagined heard some pretty nasty stories from friends who had undergone similar.
Apart from being doctors of great repute I find Dr.Jha have a fantastically comforting and reassuring demeanor which is he is equally important for anyone who is put under theknife.Not to forget her team of doctors: Dr.Monika and even her secretary Maggie who very kindly honored answered her phone calls. Each one has been accessible and approachable at all times and have huge contributions towards my recovery and well being.
Thank you Dr.Jha and your well being.
