My hands were shaking in the waiting room. I'd never seen a psychiatrist before and was convinced I'd sound ridiculous. Dr. Ajit didn't rush me. He just listened, and when I stumbled over my words, he helped me find the right ones. He explained things in a way that didn't make me feel broken, just... understood. I left feeling lighter, like I'd finally put down a bag I didn't know I was carrying.
Needed help. Anxiety was messing with my work. Booked an appointment with Dr. Ajit at Nanavati. He was clear, asked direct questions, and laid out a straightforward plan. No fluff. The medication he suggested works. I'm sleeping better and can focus. Follow-ups are efficient. Got what I needed.
It took me a long time to gather the courage to seek help. I'm a quiet person, and the idea of talking about my feelings was daunting. Dr. Ajit has a very gentle way about him. He never pushed, just created a space where I felt safe to speak, even if it was just a little. His kindness made all the difference. I am slowly finding my way back.
What a difference! For years, I just thought this constant low-grade dread was normal. My first session with Dr. Ajit was like someone finally turned on the lights. He connected dots I never saw, and the treatment plan actually makes sense. I have energy again! I'm telling my brother to book an appointment—parking's a nightmare, but it's so worth it.
