When facing a serious heart condition, many patients are overwhelmed by uncertainty and fear. But for Ashwani Butt, a Dubai resident of eight years, the experience turned into a story of trust, compassion, and expert care.
Today, Ashwani shares his journey to recovery after receiving a life-saving pacemaker at Fakeeh University Hospital.
It all began when Ashwani developed symptoms that led to a preliminary diagnosis of electrical heart block a condition in which the heart’s electrical signals are disrupted, slowing or stopping the heartbeat. Alongside this diagnosis, he was also grappling with extremely high blood pressure.
“It’s never easy to hear something like that,” Ashwani recalls. “I knew I had to act quickly to get the right care.”
Ashwani consulted with Dr. Syed Sakib Nazir, a highly respected cardiologist at Fakeeh University Hospital. After thorough evaluation and thoughtful discussion, they agreed on the best path forward: implanting a pacemaker to stabilize his heart rhythm, followed by medication to manage his hypertension.
“I felt confident with Dr. Nazer from the start,” Ashwani says. “He explained everything clearly and reassured me at every step.”
For many patients, hospitalization can be stressful. But Ashwani describes his stay as remarkably smooth and even positive.
“I would like to take this opportunity to sincerely thank Dr. Syed Sakib Nazir and his entire team,” he shares. “This includes not only the attending doctors but also the nurses, medical technicians, and the admin staff who worked behind the scenes to make everything seamless.”
Ashwani highlights that while excellent medical care is crucial, genuine empathy and professionalism are what truly set his experience apart.
“I never thought I would say this about a hospital stay, but it was an excellent experience,” he reflects.
