Patient Experience
My 8-year-old son, Rohan, had been complaining of stomach pains for weeks. We saw a couple of doctors, but nothing seemed to help. I was so scared. When we met Dr. Punjabi at Lilavati, he didn't just look at the reports. He sat on the edge of the bed and talked to Rohan about his school and his cricket, making him laugh. He explained everything to me in simple terms, why he thought it was a certain type of inflammation and not something more serious. The treatment plan was gentle, and he checked in with us personally. Seeing my boy finally eat a full meal without pain... that's what matters. Dr. Punjabi saw my child, not just a patient.
Severe abdominal pain. Admitted to Lilavati. Dr. Ashok Punjabi was assigned. He diagnosed a complex intestinal issue quickly. Ordered the right scans. Explained the situation: surgery was needed, but a minimally invasive type. Procedure was smooth. Recovery was straightforward. No unnecessary delays. Staff followed his clear instructions. Pain managed well. Discharged in four days. Follow-up was efficient. He's a capable doctor. Got the job done.
I've always been a bit anxious about hospitals, to be honest. The whole place can feel so large and cold. When I was referred to Dr. Punjabi for a persistent digestive problem, I was nervous. But from the moment he walked in, his manner was so calm. He listened without rushing me, even when I repeated myself. He spoke softly, outlining each step so I knew what to expect. There was no pressure, just clear options. The waiting room was busy that day, but he never made me feel like a number. He helped me understand my own body better. I'm feeling much more like myself now, and I'm quietly very grateful for his kindness.
Wow, what a difference! I'd been dragging myself around for months with awful bloating and fatigue. My local doctor was stumped. A friend pushed me to see Dr. Punjabi at Lilavati. Best decision ever! He had this 'aha!' moment during the consultation, asked a few specific questions I'd never been asked before, and suspected a food intolerance mixed with a bacterial thing. The tests proved him right! Started the treatment he suggested, and within two weeks, the change was incredible. Energy's back! I'm telling everyone about him. Seriously, if you're feeling stuck with a health puzzle, go see this guy. He actually solved mine!
