Dr. Govini is not just a brilliant surgeon; he is a compassionate human being. He took the time to explain the entire transplant procedure, the risks, and the long-term recovery plan in a way that was easy to understand. He never rushed our questions and treated us with genuine empathy. Having a doctor who listens as well as he performs surgery made all the difference in our recovery journey.
The care doesn't stop once the surgery is over. Dr. Govini’s team provides exceptional post-operative support. The coordination between the respiratory therapists, nurses, and the surgical team was seamless.

Professionalism at its peak. Dr. Govini and the hospital staff provided a very transparent overview of the procedure costs, timelines, and donor waiting list processes.

Dr. Govini literally gave my father a second lease on life. After years of struggling with chronic lung disease, the successful transplant has been nothing short of a miracle. Watching him breathe easily again is something we owe entirely to Dr. Govini’s steady hands and decades of experience. He is a maestro of cardiothoracic surgery.
Frequently Asked Questions
Most frequent questions and answers
The evaluation is a comprehensive 3- to 5-day process. It includes pulmonary function tests (PFTs), cardiac screenings, blood work, and psychological assessments. Dr. Govini and his team also evaluate the patient’s social support system, as having dedicated caregivers is essential for long-term success.
Lungs are allocated through the National Organ and Tissue Transplant Organization (NOTTO). Matching is based on blood type, chest size (to ensure the lungs fit), medical urgency (calculated via a Lung Allocation Score), and the distance between the donor and the recipient.
A single lung transplant typically takes 4–6 hours, while a double lung transplant can take 8–12 hours. The clinic follows international safety standards, often utilizing ECMO (Extra Corporeal Membrane Oxygenation) during surgery to support the heart and lungs, ensuring maximum stability for the patient.
Patients usually spend 3–7 days in the ICU for close monitoring. Once stable, they move to a transplant ward for another 2–3 weeks. During this time, the focus is on pain management, adjusting immunosuppressant doses, and starting “pre-hab” or early physical therapy.
Yes. Transplant recipients must take immunosuppressants daily to prevent organ rejection. You will also take “prophylactic” medications (antibiotics/antifungals) to protect against infections. Adherence to this regimen is the most critical factor in long-term survival.
Most patients experience a dramatic improvement in quality of life. Within 3–6 months, many return to work, enjoy travel, and engage in regular exercise. However, certain precautions remain—such as avoiding raw foods, staying away from crowded areas during flu season, and wearing masks in high-risk environments.
