Patient Experience
I'd been to a couple of doctors about this nagging fatigue and stomach thing, and everyone just said it was stress. Dr. Vajifdar was different. He actually sat and listened to everything, even the stuff I thought was silly. He ordered a few specific tests others hadn't, and it turned out to be a thyroid issue that was messing with my digestion. He explained it in a way that finally made sense. I'm on treatment now and feel like myself again.
Had to get a small cyst removed. Honestly, I was more nervous about the hospital process than the actual procedure. Dr. Vajifdar's team at Lilavati had it all sorted. The nurse who prepped me was really calming, and the doctor himself checked in right before. The whole thing took maybe twenty minutes. I was in and out, and the follow-up was just a quick check of the stitches. It was as straightforward as these things can be.
The place is busy, I won't liefinding a parking spot took a minute. But once inside, it felt organized. The front desk people were patient with my questions, and the ward assistant who showed me to the room noticed I looked a bit lost and walked with me. The room was clean and quiet, which helped a lot. It's the little things that make a difference when you're not feeling great.
What stuck with me was how Dr. Vajifdar talked to my elderly mother. He didn't just talk at her; he got down to her eye level, spoke clearly without being condescending, and made sure she understood each step of her treatment plan. He had this calm, direct way about him that put her at ease immediately. You could tell he sees the person, not just the patient file.
