Patient Experience
Saw Dr. Joshi for a persistent stomach issue. Parking at Lilavati was a nightmare, as usual. But the doc was greatstraight to the point, ordered the right tests, fixed me up. No fuss. Would recommend.
I was a complete wreck before my appointment. First time seeing a specialist, and my mind was racing with worst-case scenarios. Dr. Joshi just had this calm way about him. He listened, explained everything in simple terms, and by the end, I felt silly for being so scared. He didn't rush me out, either. Left Lilavati feeling like a weight was off my shoulders.
Had my gallbladder out last month. The surgery itself is one thing, but the days after are rough. Dr. Joshi's team had a clear plan for managing the pain that actually worked. He checked on me personally every day, adjusted meds when needed, and gave it to me straight about what recovery would be like. It wasn't fun, but I always felt I was in good hands. Back to my normal routine now.
My whole experience started with this dull ache in my side that wouldn't go away. I put off seeing anyone for weeks, honestly. Finally booked with Dr. Joshi. The clinic was busy, I waited about 20 minutes past my slot, flipping through a magazine. When I got in, he spent a solid amount of time just asking questions, poking around, really figuring it out. Turned out to be a minor infection, but the way he walked me through the diagnosis, showing me the lab results on his screen, made all the difference. He even called a couple days later to see if the antibiotics were working. You don't see that much anymore.
