What I'd like to tell my patients
What it means to be a “good doctor”? I often ask this question to myself!
I believe that a good doctor strives for continuous improvement, implements quality control system and eliminates any scope of medical negligence. Today, a lot of people meet doctors with apprehensions about being prescribed a surgery that might not be necessary. Many times, poor communication by their doctor makes the patients fearful of being misguided. Many of them go window shopping to find the right doctor.
My only advice to all my patients is that once you have decided on your doctor, then be positive and trust him. Trust in the doctor–patient relationship is considered to be the first prerequisite for good medical care and it goes a long way in helping patients heal. Trust also affects important behaviours and attitudes of patients, like their willingness to seek care, reveal sensitive information, submit to treatment and comply with the recommended therapy.
When a patient walks in my office, I engage in friendly chitchat with him or her to make the patient feel comfortable. Then, we move into the physical exam and diagnostic findings. A little empathy goes a long way in comprehending the patient’s condition correctly. I treat my patients the way I would want my own family members or myself to be treated. This helps me engage with my patients’ situation more closely.

What Dr. Shiv Chopra Would Like Patients to Know
For Dr. Shiv Chopra, being a good surgeon means continuously improving, following quality systems, and leaving no room for negligence. He understands that many patients approach surgery with fear—especially when they are unsure whether an operation is truly necessary.
His belief is simple: once the right doctor is chosen, trust and clarity become the foundation of healing. Honest communication helps patients feel safe, ask important questions, and follow treatment with confidence. He makes it a point to help patients feel comfortable before discussing examination findings, diagnosis, and the way forward.
A little empathy often makes a major difference in understanding a patient’s condition correctly. His goal is to treat every patient with the same care, dignity, and attention that he would want for his own family.

Capable hands and caring ways!
My brother, Sunil Kumar was suffering from a life threatening condition “necrotizing pancreatitis” until Dr. Shiv Chopra saved his life. Sunil was admitted to Moolchand with severe symptoms and needed immediate care. Dr. Shiv Chopra took care of him with utmost thoroughness and precision. I am impressed by Dr. Chopra’s compassion, promptness and willingness to schedule the laprostmomy as soon as possible. The surgery was a success!
I can't praise Dr. Chopra and Moolchand enough – my brother is perfectly alright now! It has been nothing short of an amazing experience here at Moolchand.

Delighted by services at Moolchand! Great hospital!
After a slip-and-fall accident at my home, I sustained a laceration on my forehead and my right wrist got fractured. I was brought at Moolchand’s ED where a senior resident, Dr. Ashish, stabilized my fracture and sutured the wound with great precision and care. However, the pain-killers that I took caused GERD and severe heartburn for which I was re-admitted as a patient of Dr. Shiv Chopra. My husband and I were delighted by the professional and courteous doctor. Excellent care and hospitality shown by hospital management, Dr. Shiv, the nurses and floor staff really made us feel at home. Thanks a lot for your cooperation.
Half of my illness was cured by the way Dr. Shiv and the staff interacted with us. I am thoroughly appreciative of what Moolchand and its doctors have done for me.

A big "Thank You" for the medical care you provided (for my mother)!
When medications failed to resolve my mother’s condition, I researched all the options and decided to bring her to Moolchand for a comprehensive checkup and treatment. She was diagnosed with persistent pancreatitis and multiple gallbladder stones.
Walking into Moolchand, I was much impressed by the clean wards and waiting areas. My mother’s information was taken in a comprehensive manner. She was seen at her appointment time and taken back to the examination room where the wait was minimal. When we met Dr. Harsh Kapoor and Dr. Shiv Chopra, they made us very comfortable and explained why surgery was the best option for treating my mother’s condition. Dr. Shiv Chopra and Dr. Harsh Kapoor removed my mother’s biliary stones via innovative procedure called ERCP and performed biliary stenting. She was saved only because of strong surgical and medical care that helped control her condition.
The surgical team as well as the nurses focused on my mother’s fast recovery and ensured that her hospital-stay remains as comforting as possible. Overall this was a great experience and we will recommend Dr. Harsh, Dr. Shiv and Moolchand Hospital to others!
