Atul Thakre is survived by his wife Nita, a gynaecologist with SAL hospital, and children Anuj (15) and Udit (18) |
He went to Istanbul on June 27 to attend the first Istanbul Robotic Urology Symposium. On Thursday, he called to say ‘I am going to achieve new levels in my career’. Those were his last words to me —Nita Thakre, Atul Thakre’s wife |

"When I read news about his death in Obituary Column on 5th July 2009 morning, it was a bolt from blue. I had first got to know about him , when i chanced upon a article on "enuresis" (commonly known as " Bedwetting" or "child urinary incontinence") written by him . Since my father was undergoing surgery at Sterling hospital , i was able to take his mobile number from reception.
Later on in the month of October 2008 or so , we met him for the first time in his clinic in navranpura. He listened to my daughters history with great attention and sought several minute details on her behaviour patterns and so many other little things that we never thought were important. His demeanour though was like a medical practitioner but his overall approach was more like a psycho analyst , which is what is required to deal with problem of this sorts. My comfort level with Dr Thakre got going the moment he spoke the first sentence , there was incredible amount of reassurance and confidence in his voice , it was inescapable to notice. I was greatly relieved after that very first meeting because ThakreSir had cleared lot of misconceptions , myths and wrong attitude that we carried about bedwetting problem that my daughter was suffering from. I will admit that till this day we have not been able to refer my daughter to another doctor , though it is not correct thing to do.
He is no more , one more great soul who has departed , A real loss to his family and also to family of children whom he treated so passionately.
God Bless his Noble Soul......... "
