Dr. Akash Kalaskar

My 8-year-old son had been complaining of stomach pains for weeks, and our local doctor couldn't figure it out. I was a mess with worry. Dr. Kalaskar at Lilavati didn't just run tests; he actually got down on my son's level, talked to him about his favorite video games while examining him, and figured out it was a food sensitivity. He explained everything to both of us in a way we could actually understand. My boy isn't scared of doctors anymore, and that means the world to me.

I've always been terrified of hospitals, and this was my first time seeing a specialist. My hands were literally shaking in the waiting room. Dr. Kalaskar walked in, gave a calm smile, and the first thing he said was, 'Let's just talk first.' He listened to all my jumbled-up fears without rushing me. By the time he suggested a simple blood test, I actually felt okay about it. He just has a way of making you feel like it's all going to be fine.

Had a weird persistent cough. Saw Dr. Kalaskar. He was straight to the point, no fluff. Asked good questions, ordered the right scan, figured it was a minor infection. Got meds, it cleared up in a week. Parking at Lilavati is always a hassle, but the appointment itself was efficient.

It started with just feeling run-down all the time. I figured it was work stress. My wife finally pushed me to see someone. My appointment with Dr. Kalaskar was late on a FridayI remember because I was grumpy about the traffic. He didn't just glance at my chart; he went through my whole history, asked about my sleep, my diet, even my work schedule. He connected dots I didn't see, suggesting it might be a mild thyroid issue alongside low vitamin D. He laid out a clear plan: simple medication and some lifestyle tweaks to try first. It's been three months now, and that constant fog has lifted. I feel like myself again.
