It was 1980 when I started “नंदादीप डोळ्याचा दवाखाना ” (Nandadeep Eye Hospital) in a very small rental place in Shivaji Nagar, Sangli, Maharashtra. I had no financial backing as well as medical profession background. It was only the will power to start eye centre which will impart vision to all needy patients.
The name Nandadeep was selected as it means the lamp which spreads light for eternal time. Being a son of Teacher who imbibed moral values in me Our hospital follows most ethical practice, complete transparency, Humility and Integrity is part and parcel pf delivering our services to patients My wife Dr Madhavi and I always tried to learn new techniques acquire latest equipment even when those didn’t make financial sense only for the benefit of the patients. Most of the equipment were introduced by us for the first time in southern Maharashtra. We started surgery under microscope for implanting intraocular lens in 1983. We were the first to start Phacoemulsification (Sutureless) cataract surgery in southern Maharashtra in 1996.
I thank everyone for their countless blessings and good wishes which has helped Nandadeep to reach where we are today. We shall always strive to live up to patients’ expectations and deliver the best vision possible.
Nandadeep Eye Hospital is founded in 1980 by Dr. Dileep C Patwardhan in a small dilapidated room. It is his hard honest work and the zeal for bringing in new technology for our patients that helped him build Nandadeep as the leading Eye Hospital of western Maharashtra.
In 2004 I completed my MBBS from prestigious KEM hospital Mumbai with Gold Medal for topping MBBS final exam in entire state and finished Post graduation from Top most ophthalmic training institute of AIIMS, New Delhi with coveted Gold Medal.
Afterwards I finished FRCS (UK) with distinction and FICO with honorary mention as first ranker all over the world. In 2010 I took opportunity to work with the best in the field of Cataract and Retina in USA.
After coming back to India I joined Nandadeep with the vision to make it Top institute of India.
With the same vision of my Father to bring in best technology to Sangli our Hospital brought in all latest technology in Ophthalmology. Today we can proudly claim that there is no facility or speciality which is not available in our Institute. Right from most advanced IOP controlled Phaco Machine to High speed Retinal Vitrectomy machine to most advanced Bladeless LASIK and Flapless SMILE technology… We have it all.
And we try to provide the best at reasonable charges to all our patients. For financially poor patients we run Charitable camps under Nandadeep Medical Care Foundation. We have done more than 1.5 Lakh surgeries and have consulted more than 10 Lakh patients so far and number is growing bigger due to the trust bestowed on us by patients.
Our values are governed by principles of Jeevan Vidya Mission. We value Honesty and Integrity. We never compromise on quality and ethics. We always take feedback from patients and continue to improve our services further. I am grateful to our patients who have always had a faith in us which enabled our team to give the best service to each and every patient. We will strive to reach higher heights and provide better and better technology in year to come.
