Patient Experience
My father was admitted with a severe stomach issue. We were all scared. Dr. Dave came and spoke to us in the waiting area, not just once but a few times. He explained everything in simple words, what they were checking for, what the next steps were. He didn't rush us. Even when the parking was a nightmare and we were all a bit frazzled, he was calm. That meant more than anything.
My wife had surgery. Dr. Arpit Dave handled her case. I need things straight, no sugar-coating. He gave it to me. Told me the risks, the recovery time, what to watch for. He answered my questions directly every time I saw him. Because of that clear communication, I could actually help her at home without panicking over every little thing.
Our young son had to stay overnight. Dr. Dave has a very gentle way about him. He knelt down to talk to my boy, showed him the stethoscope. He spoke softly to us, too, always making sure we understood before he left the room. The hospital is big and can feel cold, but he made a difficult situation feel a little safer.
After weeks of tests elsewhere with no answers for my mom's fatigue, we saw Dr. Dave. He actually listened to her whole history, asked her questions other doctors brushed off. He figured it out! We were so relieved. He called me himself with the treatment plan. It felt like we finally had someone in our corner who was just as determined as we were to get her better.
