Patients Stories

What my Patients say about me

Nikhil Kirtane Father to 3.5 year old Shaurya Kirtane

We had approached Dr. Apoorva Kulkarni for my son’s treatment related to Urology & Ano-Rectal functioning in the year 2020. From that time till present, we have not consulted any other child surgeon doctor. My son had a reflux pathology on right side for which Dr. Kulkarni has successfully done ureterostomy, ureteric re-implantation and ureterostomy closure on my child. All the operations done by Dr. Kulkarni have been successful and my son who is now 3.5 years old is a healthy, fine and active child. Dr. Kulkarni has not only been a great surgeon to our child but has been our pillar of strength during our tough times. He is extremely talented, highly skilled and successful pediatric surgeon who gives personal detailed guidance & help at each and every stages during surgery and also during follow ups pre and post surgery.

Shraddha Jadhav Mother of 2.5 year old Shamika Jadhav

Dr. Apoorva Kulkarni has successfully operated on my daughter when she did not have anal opening. He did a very major surgery on my daughter and gave her a new anal opening. My daughter had an infection after the surgery which needed additional surgeries, but Dr. Kulkarni did the procedures for free and did not let my budget increase. I could not arrange so much money, but doctor took care of the budget so that I could manage. He supported me a lot during the treatment. Now she is passing stools well from her anal opening. From my daughter’s birth, we have been following up with Dr. Kulkarni for any problems. Doctor always gives me a lot of time to listen to all problems that I want to tell about my daughter. His fees are also reasonable. We continue to be in regular touch with Dr. Kulkarni, even when he is on leave.

Rizwan Khan Father of 5 year old Mohd Ahmed Rizwan Khan

Dr. Apoorva Kulkarni ne mere bacche ka treatment kiya. Emergency mein raat ko mujhe Dr. Apoorva Kulkarni ke baare mein pata chala. Maine raat ko unhe contact kiya toh doctor ne urgent mein mere bacche ke operation ke liye sab arrangement kar diya. Mere bacche ki jaan bachai aap ne sir. Use testis ka problem tha, woh apne aap mein ghoom gayi thi, aur doctor ne urgent operation karke use theek kiya. Dono testis bacha liye. Der raat ko urgent operation kiya aur agle din mera baccha theek ho gaya. Itna urgent operation sir ne der raat ko jag ke kiya phir bhi sir ne acche budget mein treatment kiya. Jitna budget operation ke pehle bola tha, utne hi budget mein sab treatment mere bacche ka ho gaya. Mere pas Dr. Kulkarni ke liye words nahi hai. Aaj mera baccha bahut khush hai, sirf doctor ki wajah se. Thank you sir.

Frequently Asked Questions

You should consult a pediatric surgeon if your child has a lump or swelling in the groin or abdomen, pain that doesn't resolve, suspected appendicitis, a congenital anomaly identified at birth or on prenatal scan, difficulty urinating, or a condition that a general doctor has recommended for surgical evaluation.

A Pediatric Urology Specialist treats conditions of the urinary tract and genitalia in children — including kidney blockages, urinary infections with structural causes, undescended testes, hypospadias, bladder dysfunction, and vesicoureteral reflux.

Yes. Hypospadias repair performed by an experienced Hypospadias Specialist is a well-established procedure with high success rates. Most surgeries take 1–3 hours and children typically recover within a few weeks.

Laparoscopic surgery causes less trauma to surrounding tissue, results in smaller scars, reduces pain, and allows faster recovery — making it particularly beneficial for children who heal quickly and deserve minimal disruption to their growth and development.

Paediatric surgery can be performed at any age, from newborns in the first hours of life to teenagers. The timing depends entirely on the condition and the child's health. Dr. Kulkarni will advise on the safest and most effective timing for your child's specific situation.

Neonatal surgery refers to surgical procedures performed in the first 28 days of a baby's life, often for congenital conditions detected before or after birth. It requires extreme precision and specialized training — areas in which Dr. Kulkarni has formal expertise and extensive experience.
