Quick checklist: what to check and what to ask
| What to check | What to ask |
|---|---|
| Cancer-type focus | Do you treat my type of cancer regularly? |
| Experience | How many years of hands-on experience do you have? |
| Access | How far is the clinic for my regular visits? |
| Communication | Will you explain options in plain language? |
| Second opinion | Do you take second opinions? |
1. Start with your cancer
A woman oncologist who focuses on your cancer type, such as breast, lung, blood or gynaecological cancer, will know its current treatment guidelines well. Ask directly how much of her practice is your cancer.
2. Comfort and communication
Many women find it easier to discuss symptoms and fears with a woman doctor. Pair that comfort with clear explanations: you should leave each visit understanding the plan and next steps.
3. Think about travel across Mumbai
Treatment means repeated visits. For patients in Borivali, Dahisar, Kandivali, Malad and Goregaon, a clinic in Borivali West saves long journeys. Patients from other parts of Mumbai often come specifically for a second opinion.
4. Second opinions are routine
If you have a diagnosis elsewhere, a second-opinion consultation helps you decide with confidence. Dr. Ammbulkar takes these regularly.
