I stay in UK as I work there. I want to thank Dr Asawa for all the years of care our parents, received as your patients. Both of them lived long lives, despite health problems, due to your attentive care and determined pursuit of ways to address their various problems. In the case of our father, he went through a period of time when he was having consultations with various cardiologists every six months. It was clear you were convinced there was a problem based on his test results, but unable to find it. His account was that you developed a procedure with intravenous ultrasound that enabled you to find a “widow maker” blockage that was causing his pain. As a result, he received angioplasty surgery that solved the problem and undoubtedly saved his life. You were also the one that arranged that very quickly at Poona hospital. For our mother, you found blockages and put in a long stretch of stents that functioned well for many years. When they became blocked by scar tissue, you helped restore some of her cardiac function by doing angioplasty. Over the years, you truly treated our parents like they were your own. It is rare to find a doctor like you that combines both an amazing level of medical knowledge and technical ability with extraordinary care and compassion. We are blessed that you were our parents’ doctor, enabling us to have them with us for a long time. Your advice and perspective were such a help in determining how to deal with our mother’s many conflicting medical problems at the end of her days. Like you, your staff is also very caring and helped out in small ways, when we were late or had to reschedule an appointment, and large ways, when each of our parents’ ended up going to the emergency room from your office over the years. We wish you all the best as you continue to help patients and their families manage their health in the best possible ways.
