01 / YOUR JOURNEY
What happens when
you choose Dwarika.
Seven steps, each shown in the room where it happens — so nothing on the day is a surprise.
STEP 01
Book a consultation
Call, WhatsApp or use the form. Bring any scans, reports or endoscopy results you already have — it usually saves a visit.
STEP 02
Meet your specialist
You are examined by the surgeon who would operate. A full history, examination and review of whatever reports you already have. You leave knowing what is wrong and what the options are.
STEP 03
Diagnosis & evaluation
Only the tests that will actually change the decision — usually imaging, blood work or an endoscopy, most of which are done in-house. Gastroscopy, colonoscopy, ERCP and endoscopic ultrasound are in the same building, so diagnosis rarely needs a second appointment elsewhere.
STEP 04
Treatment planning
You are told what the operation can and cannot achieve, and the charges are stated upfront. If you are insured, admissions starts pre-authorisation with your TPA before the date is fixed.
STEP 05
Procedure or surgery
Laparoscopic technique is the standard approach here. Open surgery is recommended only where anatomy, previous surgery or an emergency makes it safer — and you are told why first.
STEP 06
Recovery
Most keyhole procedures involve a single overnight stay and bariatric surgery typically two nights, with intensive care on site for complex liver, pancreas and cancer operations.
STEP 07
Follow-up
Structured review continues after you go home, with dietetic follow-up built into the bariatric programme at set intervals.

Why patients choose
Dwarika Hospital.
What every patient can expect here — from the first call to the last follow-up.
01.
Super-specialist led
Surgery here is performed by MCh-qualified surgical gastroenterologists, not general surgeons operating outside their specialty.
02.
Keyhole by default
Laparoscopic and scarless techniques are the standard approach, reserving open surgery for cases that genuinely need it.
03.
One team, one plan
Diagnosis, surgery, nutrition and follow-up sit under one roof — you are not handed between disconnected clinics.
04.
Counselling before consent
Every patient is told what the operation can and cannot achieve, with costs stated upfront, before anything is scheduled.

Dr. Avinash Tank was invited faculty at ASIRAJ 2026, the Annual Conference of the Association of Surgeons of India — Rajasthan Chapter, in Bikaner — presenting “Difficult Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy for Acute Cholecystitis with GB Perforation”.

Preparing for your visit, insurance, your stay and recovery. Anything else — ask us directly.
No. You can book directly by phone, WhatsApp or the form on this site. If you already have scans, reports or an endoscopy result, bring them — it usually saves a visit.
After your treatment
