Cancer diagnosis comes with its own set of physical, mental and societal issues. More so,
when such unsettling news
befalls upon us during rigid lockdowns and pandemic related restrictions. My mother, Mrs
Leela Vati’s first diagnosis
for CA-Ovary came in July 2020, during the peak of COVID-19 pandemic at an advanced stage of
the disease. This was the
time when most doctors that I approached were apprehensive due to her progress of the
disease and prevailing uncertainty
of pandemic related protocols. Exasperated and troubled, I kept running from pillar to
pillar for a glimmer of hope. It
was at this time that I was referred to Dr Priya Tiwari at Artemis Hospital Gurugram by
....
someone who has had a great
experience with her treatment in the past.
At the very outset we were greeted by her coordinator and guided so well about all
the
procedures and protocols to be
followed. Immediately thereafter we were introduced to Dr Priya whose warm smile,
welcoming
attitude and confidence
calmed us straightaway. She seemed very organized and systematic in her work and
approach.
Her medicines and pep talks
have done wonders for my mother’s health and wellbeing. She has responded very well
to
Dr
Priya’s treatment and is still
undergoing her chemotherapy post-surgery. Her general health is a lot better than
what
it
was when we first contacted Dr
Priya, which augurs well for my mother’s future health and says a lot about our
doctor’s
expertise.
Dr Priya is very professional with a personal touch and caring demeanor for all her
patients. She has a great sense of
humor too, which lightens up any tense situation. She listens to all the queries of
her
patients and their attendants
with patience and offers solutions for not only their medical problems but also
cheers
them
up with her articulate and
eloquent talk. This motivates us to interact with her freely and discuss any issues
that
we
have. She provides a
holistic treatment regimen that includes medicines, lifestyle modifications, care
routines,
dietary suggestions, mental
conditioning, etc. She keeps herself updated with all the latest research in the
field
of
Oncology and is a widely
published and cited researcher as well. She is quite active on various social media
platforms like YouTube, Facebook,
Instagram, etc. where she regularly posts videos and other educational content
regarding
cancer symptoms, treatment
strategies, latest research in this field, etc. for the benefit of the general
masses
and
awareness creation.
A special mention must also be made for her team of junior doctors and support staff
who
are
very well trained and
polite in their attitude. They are always available personally, on call or via
messaging
to
sort out any issues that we
may be facing. I guess this rubs off from their brilliant team leader Dr Priya’s
personality
herself.
Dr Priya has all the traits of a great doctor like deep subject knowledge about her
field,
reassuring personality, clear
and concise communication, availability for her patients, etc. In my opinion, she is
the
best doctor that I have come
across, apart from being such a great human being.
It has been almost 3 years now and my mother is responding well to Dr Priya’s
treatment.
I
will forever be grateful to
Dr Priya and her team for everything that they have done for my mother. I wish her
and
her
entire staff, all the very
best for all their future endeavors.

When words fall short to express gratitude..!This wonderful artwork gifted by my succesfully
cured stage 4 hodgkin lymphoma patient.Now 15 year old bought this from his own pocket
money.
I always found myself to be a healthy individual but when I was suddenly diagnosed with Breast
Cancer, it was a turning point in my life. My world shattered and everything seemed to come to a
standstill but I decided to face my challenges with whatever strength and spirit I could muster
Being a triple negative type, I was referred to the care of Dr. Priya Tiwari and Dr. Deepak Jha
at Artemis. My doctors and their team were a true blessing, ever smiling, with their kind and
encouraging words. The team took utmost care of all the surgical and treatment procedures and helped
me wade though my ordeal. Not only the procedures were carried out most professionally but they also
helped me overcome my trauma and kept me positive. I went through chemotherapy, surgery and
radiation, and completed my treatment reminding myself that there is light at the end of the
tunnel. It has been over a year now, I'm cancer free. My journey taught me the art of living in
the moment, being happy and light with the present, and making conscious efforts to live fully with
an open mind and heart. I feel that with ramping cases of cancer in our country, govt and pvt
organizations should step up to increase awareness through media and friendly information centers
encouraging people to go in for routine checkups to catch the disease early in its onset and choose
necessary treatment options, and at the same time, make the treatment much more affordable. I
wish anyone facing a similar challenge the best for your journey.

I would like to add my endorsement to the sentiments expressed in this short clip.
My wife Shobha was under treatment with Dr. Priya Tiwari. Unfortunately, by the time she was
diagnosed with Cancer, it was already at the fourth stage and being metastatic had spread widely
to other organs. After battling for over two years she sadly passed away last month. We had got
in touch with Dr. Priya Tiwari when she was with Fortis and moved with her when she joined
Artemis.
Besides being a bright and efficient doctor, she is an excellent human being and imparted a lot
of comfort through her positivity and empathy. She was frank, honest and encouraged us to ask
questions and become comfortable with the line of treatment. My wife relied on her implicitly
and always came away with hope and determination after every consultation. Dr. Tiwari was
available on short notice and completely understood the anxiety and fears of the family members
and caretakers. Her assistant Mr. Abhishek Singh was also extremely courteous and helpful. Also,
a special word of thanks to Sister Shanta Shreshta from her team.
I wish Dr. Tiwari all success in her career and hope she carries on in the same spirit and
graceful qualities of head and heart.
God bless. Om Shanti

"Life puts us through storms so you can cherish the rainbow." Never deprive someone of hope, it
may be the only thing that they have.
Dear Dr. Tiwari,
We were indeed fortunate that Noleen put us in touch with you. My daughter-in-law is very happy
to be your patient and under your treatment.
In today's world, you will find very few doctors who are compassionate and display empathy to
the suffering. In our lines, we believed doctors were gifts from God to serve mankind. To be
kind and humane are perhaps the greatest virtues a person can possess.
I have only two children, my daughter is unmarried and my son's family is my dawn in the sunset
years of my life . I am eighty-five and still on my feet.
Please do all you can to get Yasmine well on the road to recovery. I cannot bear to lose her. My
life has been a history of tragedies. She deserves better. She is loved and cherished by the
family.
People will forget what you said and did but they will never forget how you made them feel when
their world came apart.
Warmest regards,
Rosie Singh
Dr. Priya has an edge with her supper strong counseling power. As a very scared and equally
inquisitive attendant of a CNS lymphoma patient, she made me slide through the toughest times
with comfortable ease. When the entire world told me that I may not get back my mother ailing
with this life threatening disease, Dr Priya's knowledge,skill, experience, correct combination
of medicines and consistent follow ups made my mom's treatment a success!! Salute to the woman
power and I highly recommend Dr. Priya ma'am to all cancer patients

I ‘m Brig. D K Singh age 65.
I was diagnosed with urinary bladder cancer in 2018. I underwent radical cystectomy a major
surgery where a part of my bladder was removed and my bladder was reconstructed. Thereafter my
life returned to normal without the need for radiation and chemotherapy.
Unfortunately in 2020, there was recurrence of my disease in the pelvic reason due to
metastasis. Ihad to again undergo a major surgery for the resection of my tumor, but only 60% of
my tumor could be removed. There were lots of complications after the surgery that lead to
prolonged hospitalization. I was having constant pelvic pain and my health weaned.
For my treatment thereafter we consulted Dr. Priya Tiwari Cancer Specialist at Artemis Hospital,
Gurugram. Dr. Priya is an exceptional oncologist. Her reputation precedes her, and she has
earned several accolades. In the first meeting itself we could feel that she is a very
compassionate doctor and she is very committed to her patients. Her positive attitude gave us
hope and resilience to fight these disease. Dr. Priya is very confident and steadfast in her
treatment regime.
She takes utmost care to explain the treatment regime to her patients and she believes in
building comfortable relationship with her patients which helped in my mental health too.
Whenever there were medical complications she patiently explain us everything and her guidance
help us sail through. I was wheelchair bond, when I met Dr. Priya a year ago. Today my health
has improved significantly, and I can drive once in a while and do my daily routine activities.
Dr. Priya is god sent for me. I am grateful to Dr. Priya. She is a beacon of hope in these
difficult times. I’m thankful to Dr.Priya for all the efforts she has put for us. She has given
me a new lease of life. God Bless Dr. Priya.
