During recent weeks, I visited Dr. Parthiv Shah, a recognized Bronchoscopy Doctor in Mumbai who frequently performs bronchoscopies. My mission: to observe his clinic, hear his approach, compare to peers, and examine how the procedure is positioned in the city. In the labyrinth of medical choices, understanding the subtleties of a bronchoscopy—and knowing who you consult—can matter deeply. Below is what I found on bronchoscopies in Mumbai, globally, and what patients should watch out for.
According to his public profile on Practo, Dr. Parthiv Shah holds MBBS, MD in Pulmonary Medicine, and DNB in Respiratory Medicine. He also completed a fellowship in pulmonary diseases and intensive care at LTMG Hospital, Sion, Mumbai, around 2016. His specialized focus includes bronchoscopy, thoracoscopy, pleural procedures, allergy testing, and respiratory illnesses.
His clinic, Sparsh Super Speciality Lung Clinic, is located in Borivali East, Mumbai. During my visit, I noted that the layout is prudent: patient reception and waiting areas are separated from procedure rooms; diagnostic rooms house endoscopic towers, monitors, suction devices, and bronchoscopy towers. There is a sterilization and instrument preparation zone behind the scenes. The staff showed me allergen testing, sleep study, and consultation zones as well.
Dr. Shah emphasized that safety protocols—oxygen backup, sedation monitors, resuscitation kits—are embedded in every bronchoscopy setup. He said he personally reviews imaging and clinical history before each procedure to tailor the bronchoscope route, sample needs, and sedation plan.
Dr. Jeenam Shah is known for interventional pulmonology and advanced bronchoscopic procedures. His profile mentions that he performs bronchoscopy, EBUS, lung cryobiopsy, and advanced airway interventions.His training abroad and certification in interventional pulmonology make him a useful point of comparison to Dr. Parthiv Shah’s procedural reach.
Pulmonologists such as Dr. Gaetan Deslée in France or those in leading academic centers combine advanced bronchoscopy with molecular sampling, navigation bronchoscopy, and robotic bronchoscopy. Their units often have multidisciplinary integration—pulmonology, pathology, radiology—to optimize biopsy accuracy and patient safety. Comparing such practices helps identify where local practices are at par, or where gaps remain.
